Sales are never deleted; history is an append-only trail ​

Context ​

Purchases and their processing trail remain evidence for financial and support work.

Decision ​

Keep order records and local immutable history through void and cancellation, with workspace removal as the deletion boundary.

Alternatives Considered ​

Platform history is not adopted in this implementation. Deleting an unaccepted numbered sale could remove the purchase linked to a provisional invoice.

Consequences ​

The local trail records business actions without external business-event publication. Intended completed-cart retention has no running cleanup.

Decision
Retain financial purchase records and local append-only history, ending purchases through states rather than application deletion.
