CLI

coldctl archive delete JOB_ID --confirm-delete --confirm-original-source --max-batches 1

Operational notes

Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB with an approved verified-delete-v1 connector. Requires a completed locally created archive and original safety contract; imports cannot authorize deletion.

A mismatch rolls back the entire source batch. Earlier commits remain. Retry the same job after interruption; do not reuse archived keys. max-batches must be positive.

Keep archive files and local deletion checkpoints. The manifest stays unchanged. See Verified source deletion for engine permissions and locks.
