    preconditions: >-
      The target is eligible, its gating notices are satisfied and an unaffected comparison workspace is
      seeded.
    steps: >-
      Run the handoff and purge, inspect planned inventories and comparison rows, then read retained history
      and try identifier reuse.

      The reviewed chain removes its declared fixture data, preserves comparison records, retains numeric
      evidence and refuses identifier reuse; omitted resources remain outside that claim.
    negative: false

      Create run-owned target and comparison workspaces, distinct staff and customer callers, and the fixture
      records named by the relied-on capability scenarios. Use controlled clocks and faults only where the

      Run the purge through its retry or verification limit and read request standing, workspace standing and
      retained counts.

# Irreversible Removal and History: Feature Acceptance Suite

## What the Feature Must Do as a Whole

The target is eligible, its gating notices are satisfied and an unaffected comparison workspace is seeded. The behaviour case follows that staff outcome through the participating capabilities and compares their records at the end. Separate lifecycle, permission and regression cases test the consequences of interruption or refusal. These are proposed combined checks; inspected component tests supply their prerequisites but do not establish a passing feature run.

## Interactions Between Capabilities

A blocked participant prevents completed deletion evidence. Destruction has begun and one planned participant returns blocked or persistent nonzero inventory. The case changes the upstream condition and checks the downstream outcome described in its structured assertions. Where the chain crosses a feature boundary, the scenario names the other capability while the suite retains its own feature membership.

## Regression Record
