This is because the Cadenza Off object has a single barline as part of
its syntax. If you double click on the Cadenza Off object (the large T)
you will see

The LilyPond syntax generated is: " \cadenzaOff \bar "|" \once \override
Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f  \time 4/4 "

it is the \bar "|" that is being typeset, because your \bar "||" is
before it, and LilyPond only uses the last of multiple \bar commands at
the same musical moment.

If you move the double barline object *after* the End Cadenza object
then it will take priority.
