Outcome

Files has an explicit lifecycle from soft deletion through restore or authorized purge, while retention, legal hold, shared references, and Campaign evidence prevent premature byte destruction.

Acceptance

  • Restore soft-deleted files/folders/spaces without losing version or provenance evidence.
  • Resolve effective retention and legal-hold blockers before purge.
  • Preview and execute bounded, idempotent purge actions with separate authority and audit.
  • Recompute/reference-check blob use before garbage collection; never delete bytes still referenced by another asset/version/evidence record.
  • Coordinate with the database/blob integrity reconciliation work in #36.
  • Document backup interactions, erasure limitations, and operator recovery.
  • Cover concurrent references, interrupted purge, repeated requests, and rollback/correction paths.
