Characters restricted to dictionaries are generally not well
supported.
And modern textbooks in a modern world :-)

The practice in Scott and
Liddell is to reserve ᾱ, ῑ and ῡ for a note after the dictionary entry.
Liddell & Scott is old, just like Lewis & Short. We've moved on since then, and given the stuff that's been put into the Greek blocks (things that for sure aren't even in most dictionaries) I was just surprised. Whatever the rationale for original precomposition and later inclusion of more characters was, I suppose common practice instead of inclusiveness was a criterion.

With that written, thanks for the info.

ῑ̓́φιος [...] ῑ̓́ (which should be thought of as ῑ
with two combining diacritics: U+1FD1 U+0313 U+0301)
You overlooked the smooth breathing for the first iota.
It's there. Check again.
