Scenario 5 — un-saying
delete removes a standing section from all future renders. delete * removes EVERYTHING — standing document and timeline, prompt included. Deliberate: guidance, not guardrails; every op is an attributable event and that audit trail is the safeguard. Click @92 for the render without config/agents-md, @97 for what a lobotomised agent receives. (Redacting inside a TURN needs turn addressing — slice 3.)
