One erasure request across six copies One erasure, six copies, six weapons each copy names its mechanism and its evidence, a copy with no weapon is the finding record: direct delete cache: purge keys index: purge + rebuild log: tombstone backup train log lane: append delete-user-X, compact segments without the user or shred the per-user key: instant unreadability, no rewrite backup lane: expire by retention, restores replay through tombstones a backup older than retention is destroyed, never replayed training lane: exclude at next retrain, document the lag honestly dotted lane: the offline consumer, fenced by the deletion watermark no serving until caught past the watermark, missed keys already destroyed so reads fail closed resurrection guards: watermark for stragglers, tombstoned restore for backups legend: purple/blue = easy copies, yellow = the hard log, green/pink = slow copies, dashed = the fenced straggler deadlines needing a lawyer are named uncertain, never quoted as law
