benchweave dispose

Dispose overdue delete-tier rows through the audit trail (at-rest).

benchweave dispose [OPTIONS]

Dry run by default (--execute to act). Review-tier rows are blocked, never deleted; archive-tier rows execute only with --archive-target (verified content-addressed offline copies; the store copy is reclaimed), otherwise they stay blocked. A schema mismatch refuses typed (the store is never migrated).

Usage: benchweave dispose [OPTIONS]

  Dispose overdue delete-tier rows through the audit trail (at-rest).

  Dry run by default (--execute to act). Review-tier rows are blocked, never
  deleted; archive-tier rows execute only with --archive-target (verified
  content-addressed offline copies; the store copy is reclaimed), otherwise
  they stay blocked. A schema mismatch refuses typed (the store is never
  migrated).

Options:
  --data-dir PATH        At-rest data directory (holds state.sqlite +
                         content/).  [required]
  --bench TEXT           Restrict the disposition to one bench id (default:
                         every bench).
  --policy PATH          Retention policy file (required: disposition never
                         runs ungoverned). Default: <data-dir>/retention-
                         policy.json.
  --execute              Actually dispose. Default: dry run — the plan is
                         projected and NOTHING is written; --execute commits
                         the whole invocation (audit rows, guarded deletions,
                         artifact GC) as one transaction.
  --archive-target PATH  Archive destination directory (content-addressed
                         objects/ plus per-invocation manifests/) for overdue
                         archive-tier rows. Without it, archive-tier rows stay
                         blocked (counted, never deleted). Refuses if it
                         resolves inside the data dir.
  --verify-archive       With --archive-target: re-verify every archived audit
                         row's destination object against its content address
                         (read-only — the command verifies and exits, never
                         executes; orphan objects are reported, never
                         deleted).
  --out PATH             Write the disposition report to FILE (markdown; JSON
                         with --json) instead of stdout.
  --json                 Emit the stable machine JSON contract instead of
                         text.
  --help                 Show this message and exit.
