Eliminate residual cache reads after deletion

Data deletion is often only as complete as the last system that can still serve it.

Tighter cleanup can compete with preserving the continuity of work still in motion.

A deletion request can’t mean ‘mostly gone’ when someone asks us to prove it.

What pulls against what

  • rapid eviction vs. active-work preservation
  • audit proof vs. operational simplicity
  • shared lifecycle ownership vs. fast containment

What is at stake

Residual cache reads leave sensitive data available after deletion is marked complete. The correction must avoid harming active documentation flows

This is the setup. The work is inside.

Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
