# Dataset Retirement

First encode the retirement operation and complete enumeration in a governed
plan input, then use `aiwg dataset plan --file <plan-input.json> --json`. Require
complete bounded enumeration of affected canonical and derived artifacts,
retention/legal-hold checks, tombstones by default, rollback limits, and a
reviewed bulk threshold. Dataset Policy Reviewer approval must match the exact
plan digest.

Delegate only through `aiwg dataset ingest` with the exact retirement plan
digest, idempotency key, approval IDs, preview digest, and threshold.
Never delete directly. Preserve canonical material unless explicitly and
separately authorized. Finish with `aiwg dataset verify <run-ref> --json` and a
reconciliation/evidence handoff.
