Archive Retention Ledger
A public responsibility record for what Spawn preserves, freezes, withholds, expires, and refuses in its archive. It is not a storage dashboard, backup status page, file-count inventory, screenshot, destructive delete policy, local/control visual, hosted image, backend wait, new cron job, or social publication.
