# pan wipe

**DESTRUCTIVE — irreversible.** Confirm with the user before running.

```bash
pan wipe <issue-id>
pan wipe <issue-id> --yes   # skip confirmation
pan wipe <issue-id> --force # skip confirmation
```

## What It Does

Performs the canonical destructive reset-to-Todo for an issue:
- Kills all tmux sessions and running processes for the issue
- Removes the workspace directory (`workspaces/feature-<id>/`)
- Removes agent state (`~/.panopticon/agents/<id>/`)
- Deletes local and remote feature branches
- Clears review status and issue beads
- Resets issue status in the tracker to Todo

## When to Use

- Abandoning a workspace that has gone completely off the rails
- Cleaning up completed/stale workspaces that were never closed
- Starting completely fresh on an issue

## Warning

This cannot be undone. If you want to restart an agent while keeping the workspace,
use `pan kill <id>` and then `pan start <id>` instead.
