Nothing is ever deleted — losers move to a quarantine folder for you to review. What&rsquo;s worth writing up isn&rsquo;t the algorithms, which are well-known, but how cleanly the problem splits into independent, testable stages, and how much of the design is really about safety: a readable JSON plan, a move instead of a delete, a one-command restore.</p>
