Retention — quick notes
| Pressure | Effect |
|---|---|
| Cost | Storage grows without bound |
| Compliance | Minimum retention may be mandated |
| Traceability | Deleting the run loses the audit link |
| Rollback | Artifact must outlive its rollback window |
The binding rule: retain artifacts at least as long as you might need to roll back to them.
- Keep runs that produced a currently deployed release.
- Feed retention is separate — deleting old package versions breaks rebuilds of older releases.
