Task 05: Operator documentation

Update the public Operations guide for the completed quarantine lifecycle.

Acceptance

• The guide explains the retention deadline, eligible automatic purge, scheduling-disabled behavior, Clear eligible, and the irreversible Force clear all override.
• It distinguishes the earliest safe deletion timestamp from an exact promised cleanup time and states that force bypasses only retention.

Verification

node --test scripts/validate-public-docs.test.mjs
node scripts/validate-public-docs.mjs

Files likely touched

• docs/public/operations.md

Dependencies

Task 04 so published labels match the final UI.

Parallelism

Sequential.

Inputs

• Spec: quarantine behavior and out-of-scope timing guarantees
• Plan: Public Documentation
• ADR: docs/decisions/2026-07-29-quarantine-retention-override.md

Risks

• Documentation must not imply a dedicated sweeper runs when scheduling is disabled.

Output contract

Report public wording, links if changed, exact validation results, blockers/risks, and update this task plus plan.md status.
