# preset-destructive-imports

Use for imports that can overwrite, replace, or materially change workspace assets.

## Always

- Auth and conventions come from `preset-api` (JWT exchange, base URLs, Rison); resolve the workspace hostname through the Management API when it is not already known. Consult `preset-import-export` for endpoint selection context when it is missing.
- Treat overwrite and sparse-update imports as destructive.
- Never print import secrets or database passwords.
- Confirm destination workspace, bundle contents, overwrite behavior, secrets, expected changes, and rollback plan before live testing or import calls.

## Decision Rules

- Classify overwrite-capable, sparse-update, all-assets restore, database import, and secret-bearing import as destructive.
- Require destructive approval wording before import.
- Require backup or rollback plan.
- Inspect bundle metadata without applying changes.

## Workflow Order

1. Inspect bundle metadata.
2. Classify destructive impact.
3. Prepare backup, rollback, secret-handling, and approval summary.
4. Stop before import execution.

- Approval policy: load `preset-api` and then `references/safety-policy.md`.
