+"""Drop checkov-suppressed results from its SARIF output before upload.
+
+checkov's SARIF exporter includes every evaluated check as an ordinary
+result, including ones it internally marked SKIPPED via an inline
+`# checkov:skip=` comment or a `checkov.io/skipN` resource annotation - it
+never uses SARIF's `suppressions` field, and never drops them. checkov's
+JSON output *does* correctly record which checks were skipped, so this
+cross-references the two: any SARIF result whose (check_id, file) pair
+appears in the JSON's skipped_checks is removed before GitHub ever sees it.
+
+Without this, every already-suppressed finding reopens as a brand new code
+scanning alert on every run, forever (see #6035/#6036, #6112-6115,
+#6128-6131 for the pattern this was chasing before this script existed).

+- **Salesforce ingestor** (#1240) by @Sameer6305
+  - New `SalesforceConnector` / `SalesforceData` / `SalesforceIngestor` (`semantica.ingest`, lazy export), following the same Connector + Data + Ingestor pattern already used for Snowflake/Databricks/SAP
+  - Auth covers both landscapes Salesforce actually uses: username + password + security token (SOAP login), session_id + instance_url (reusing an existing session), and username + consumer_key + private key (JWT Bearer); production and sandbox are selected via `domain`, and credentials can come from environment variables. Credential material is never intentionally written to logs, exceptions, or `repr()`
+  - `ingest_sobject()`, `ingest_query()`, `list_sobjects()`, `get_sobject_schema()`, `export_as_documents()` against standard sObjects, custom objects (`__c`), custom metadata (`__mdt`), platform events (`__e`), namespaced objects, and relationship-field traversal (e.g. `Owner.Name`); pagination follows `nextRecordsUrl`/`query_more()` and stops once a caller's `limit` is satisfied
+  - New `pip install semantica[db-salesforce]` extra (`simple-salesforce>=1.12.0`)
+  - New `tests/test_salesforce_ingestor.py`
+  - Docs: `docs/integrations/salesforce.md`
+
+- **`ErasureCoordinator` completes the erasure workflow `purge_node()` only starts — the graph node was removed while the same content survived verbatim in `AgentMemory` and as an embedding** (closes #1018) by @pravit-amp
+  - New `semantica/context/erasure.py`, exporting `ErasureCoordinator` and `ErasureReceipt` from `semantica.context`. `purge_node()`/`purge_edge()` (#957) are graph-scope by design and their changelog entry documents this gap explicitly; the changelog also names GDPR Article 17 as the motivation, and an Article 17 erasure that removes the node while the content stays retrievable by similarity search is not an erasure — it is worse than not offering one, because `purge_node()` returns `True` and writes a tombstone attesting the content is gone
+  - The coordinator **composes** the existing public APIs — nothing in `context_graph.py` or `agent_memory.py` changes behaviorally, and `ContextGraph` keeps its documented graph-scope contract rather than acquiring references to `AgentMemory`/`vector_store` that would invert the dependency
+  - `erase_entity(entity_id, reason=..., at=..., vector_ids=...)` returns an `ErasureReceipt`; `erase_entities([...])` returns one receipt per entity, in order, so one entity's failure does not stop the rest
+  - **Honest partial reporting is the point.** Each store reports one of five statuses — `erased`, `not_found`, `not_configured` (store never bound; normal), `unsupported` (store cannot delete at all; retrying will not help), `failed` — and `receipt.complete` is `False` when any store reports `unsupported`/`failed`, with `receipt.incomplete_stores` naming them. A receipt reading `graph: erased, memory: 14 erased, vectors: unsupported on faiss` is actionable; a bare `True` is a compliance liability
+  - **Erasure runs outward-in: vectors → memory → graph.** The graph tombstone is the durable attestation that an erasure happened, so writing it first would let a crash mid-cascade leave a record claiming more than occurred. Erasing the graph last means a partial failure leaves the node present and the receipt incomplete — recoverable and honest; the reverse is neither
+  - **Partial failure is a result, not an exception**: a store that raises is recorded as `failed` (with the exception type) and the remaining legs still run, rather than aborting into a half-erased state with no record of which half
+  - **The memory sweep cannot be silently truncated.** `find_by_entity(entity_id, limit=10)` returned `results[:limit]`, so the obvious hand-rolled cascade erases the first ten items and reports success — an erasure check computed from a page already truncated by the very `limit` it was called with. The coordinator sweeps in pages until dry (deleting as it goes, so the next page is the remainder) rather than passing one large number that is only correct until someone exceeds it, then **re-queries once after the sweep** and reports `failed` with the residual count if anything survived. It also stops rather than spinning if `batch_delete` reports no progress on a non-empty page. Note `find_by_entity` returns items keyed `memory_id`, not `id`
+  - **`unsupported` vector backends are detected by probing, not by calling and catching.** `faiss_store.py`, `milvus_store.py` and `weaviate_store.py` expose no delete at all (FAISS cannot remove from a flat index without a rebuild), while the `VectorStore` facade declares `delete_vectors()` for *every* backend and only raises `NotImplementedError` once called — so probing the facade alone cannot tell a deletable backend from a delete-less one, and the coordinator looks at the backend it wraps. Probing also keeps a missing method distinguishable from an `AttributeError` raised *inside* a working one, which is exactly where guessing wrong produces a false clean bill of health. `NotImplementedError` at call time is still caught and reported as `unsupported`; a store returning `False` is reported as `failed`
+  - Backends are reached under either supported name — `delete_vectors(ids)` (pinecone/qdrant) or `delete(ids)` (pgvector/sqlite-vec) — and the receipt records which was used
+  - `vector_store` defaults to `memory.vector_store` when a memory is supplied, stays overridable for deployments binding a store the memory does not own, and accepts `False` to disable the vector leg. Vectors owned by memory items are removed by the memory leg's own `delete_memory()` cascade; the explicit vector leg covers entity-keyed embeddings written by something other than `AgentMemory`
+  - The receipt's `erased_at` is normalized through `ContextGraph`'s own temporal normalizer, so the receipt and the tombstone written by the same erasure cannot disagree about when it happened; an unparseable `at` is rejected before any store is touched rather than half way through the cascade
+  - `purge_node()`'s docstring now points at the coordinator, so callers reading the graph-scope caveat find the thing that completes the workflow
+  - New `tests/context/test_erasure_coordinator.py`: 48 tests against **real** `ContextGraph`/`AgentMemory` instances rather than mocks — the bug lives in the interaction between them, so mocking it away would test nothing. Covers the 25-items-on-one-entity regression that fails against a naive single `find_by_entity()` call, all three vector-backend shapes (`delete_vectors`/`delete`/neither) plus the facade-over-delete-less-backend shape, residual/no-progress/no-identifier memory failures, partial failure continuing the cascade, idempotency, receipt serialization, and `at` normalization
+  - Full `tests/context/` suite: 738 passed
+  - **Fixed during review** (Qodo): `erase_entity()` resolved `erased_at` up front but passed the caller's original `at` down to `purge_node()`, so on the default `at=None` path the coordinator and the graph each took their own `now()` and the receipt attested to a different instant than the tombstone it points at — breaking the one invariant this module states most loudly. The resolved timestamp is now passed to the graph. The existing test passed only because it supplied an explicit `at`, which hides the drift; a regression test now covers the `at=None` path that callers actually use
+  - **Fixed during review** (Qodo): the vectors leg treated any return value other than the literal `False` as success, but no in-repo backend returns a bool — Qdrant returns `{"status": <UpdateStatus>}` and Pinecone `{"deleted": True}`, so every dict was read as a success and the backend's own account of the delete was discarded. Delete results are now interpreted by shape (bool, dict with explicit failure markers, `None` for a void method, anything else at face value) and the backend payload is recorded in the receipt as `backend_result`, stringified so the receipt stays JSON-serializable as the audit record it is meant to be. Bool markers are matched by identity so a `0` count is not read as `False`, and string markers match as substrings so an enum rendering as `"UpdateStatus.FAILED"` is not read as a success
+  - **Fixed during review** (Qodo): the constructor's "at least one store" guard used `not vector_store`, rejecting a valid store whose `__bool__`/`__len__` makes an empty instance falsey, and reporting `vector_store=None` in the error when an object had been passed; it now distinguishes `None` (absent) from `False` (deliberately disabled) from any other value (provided), and echoes what it actually received
+  - **Fixed during review** (Qodo): `at` annotations accepted only `str`/`datetime` while the shared `ContextGraph` normalizer they delegate to also takes epoch seconds; widened to `int`/`float` with the docstrings updated, so the coordinator no longer advertises less than the graph API it wraps
+  - **Known limitation, unchanged by this PR**: erasure still cannot be *completed* on FAISS/Milvus/Weaviate — `delete_vectors()` is declared on the `VectorStore` facade (`vector_store.py:786`) but not implemented across the backend set, under at least three different names. That is worth its own issue; the coordinator ships reporting `unsupported` and starts reporting `erased` for those backends once it is fixed, with no API change here

  - **Also fixed, on the JSON-LD paths**: the first fix covered the Turtle, N-Triples and RDF/XML serializers, and left both JSON-LD writers interpolating the entity's own text into `f"semantica:entity/{text}"` and the endpoints into `f"semantica:rel/{source}_{target}"`. Three consequences, all live in 0.6.5: an entity whose text contained a space produced an invalid IRI, and a JSON-LD parser dropped that node in full rather than reporting it, so the entity disappeared from the export; every relationship carrying `source`/`target` rather than `source_id`/`target_id` minted the identical `semantica:rel/_`, collapsing all of them onto one node whose types and endpoints merged; and the JSON-LD `@id` disagreed with the Turtle IRI for the same entity, so the two serializations of one knowledge graph were two different graphs. Both JSON-LD writers now use `mint_entity_iri`/`mint_relationship_iri`, and `JSONExporter.export_entities`/`export_relationships` declare the `semantica` prefix their `@context` was already writing `semantica:entities` against — without it a processor reads that as an IRI in the scheme `semantica`, which is the original #1101 defect on a third path
  - `tests/export/test_jsonld_iri_minting.py` parses each export with a real JSON-LD processor and asserts the entity survives, the relationships stay distinct, no term expands into the `semantica` scheme, and the JSON-LD `@id` equals the Turtle IRI

+  - Error metrics are never affected by objectives (error wins over fail)

+  - `decision_scores` validates field-level (expected outcome, confidence bounds, non-empty maker/reasoning/scenario) and governance-level (provenance record presence; opt-in `PolicyEngine.check_compliance`) checks, coercing dict inputs via `Decision(**actual)` and never crashing on malformed input; an interface slot for causal-chain/embedding checks is reserved and raises `NotImplementedError` (V2)

-Most AI agents act without a trail. They store embeddings, not meaning: context that can't be explained, decisions that can't be audited. In lending, that gap is a compliance exposure, not an inconvenience: an underwriting agent's approval has to survive a regulator's "why" months later.
-
-Semantica sits underneath your LLM, vector store, and agent framework as a deterministic infrastructure layer: no LLM required for graph construction, reasoning, or provenance.
+Most AI agents run on embeddings, not meaning: similarity scores with no structure, no relationships, and no way to explain why a result came back. Semantica is the semantic/context layer underneath your LLM, vector store, and agent framework: a deterministic infrastructure layer (no LLM required for graph construction, reasoning, or provenance) that turns fragmented enterprise data into a structured, queryable Context Graph and knowledge graph, governed by ontologies and controlled vocabularies (OWL, SHACL, SKOS) so the meaning of your data is explicit, not just its embedding. Decision provenance and audit trails fall out of that structure as a property, not the product itself; in domains a regulator can question, that same structure just happens to double as a straight answer to "why."

 > ⚠️ **System-level explainability, not foundation-model explainability.** Semantica does not expose or reconstruct what happens *inside* the LLM — its internal reasoning or chain-of-thought stays opaque, as it does for any external system. Semantica explains what's *outside* the model: the context and data fed in, the decision produced, its provenance, relevant relationships, applied policies, and the full execution trail.

 **Who it's for:**

- **AI/ML platform teams** shipping agents that make consequential decisions and need structured, queryable context built from fragmented raw data, not just a vector index
- **Data platform teams on Databricks or Snowflake** who need to turn tables already sitting in Unity Catalog or a Snowflake warehouse into a governed, lineage-tracked knowledge graph, without exporting that data to a third-party SaaS first
- **Compliance, risk, and audit teams** who need a straight answer to "why did the AI do that?" in a format a regulator will actually accept
- **Regulated enterprises** (finance, healthcare, legal, government, defense) that can't ship a black box, and can't send their data to someone else's SaaS to get one

 commits; adapter synchronization remains best-effort and logs failures.


+## ErasureCoordinator
+
+`ContextGraph.purge_node()` is scoped to one graph: the node is removed and a
+tombstone is written, but the same content can still be live as an `AgentMemory`
+item and as an embedding in the vector store. `ErasureCoordinator` drives the
+cascade across every bound store and returns an `ErasureReceipt` recording what
+each one reported.
+

+
+receipt = coordinator.erase_entity(
+    "customer-4471",

+)
+
+if not receipt.complete:
+    # These stores may still hold the entity; handle them out of band.
+    print(receipt.incomplete_stores)
+```
+
+<Warning>
+Check the receipt — the call returning is not proof the data is gone. FAISS,
+Milvus, and Weaviate expose no delete method, so erasure cannot be completed on
+those backends today; the receipt reports `unsupported` rather than a success it
+did not achieve.
+</Warning>
+
+### Constructor Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `graph` | `ContextGraph` | `None` | Anything exposing `purge_node()` |
+| `memory` | `AgentMemory` | `None` | Anything exposing `find_by_entity()` and `batch_delete()` |
+| `vector_store` | `VectorStore` | `memory.vector_store` | Store holding entity-keyed embeddings; pass `False` to disable the leg |
+
+At least one store is required; a store that is not supplied reports
+`not_configured` rather than being silently skipped.
+
+### Methods
+
+| Method | Returns | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `erase_entity(entity_id, reason, at, vector_ids)` | `ErasureReceipt` | Erase one entity from every bound store |
+| `erase_entities(entity_ids, reason, at)` | `List[ErasureReceipt]` | One receipt per entity, in order; one failure does not stop the rest |
+
+### Store Statuses
+
+| Status | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `erased` | Reached, data removed. On the vectors leg this means the store accepted the delete for the ids given — backends offer no portable existence check, so it is not a count of embeddings that were really there |
+| `not_found` | Reached, held nothing for this entity |
+| `not_configured` | No such store was bound — normal, not a failure |
+| `unsupported` | The store cannot delete at all; retrying will not help |
+| `failed` | The store was reached and the deletion did not succeed |
+
+### ErasureReceipt
+
+| Member | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `entity_id` | `str` | Entity the erasure was requested for |
+| `reason` | `Optional[str]` | Recorded in the receipt and the graph tombstone |
+| `erased_at` | `str` | ISO-8601; matches the tombstone's `purged_at` |
+| `stores` | `Dict[str, Dict]` | Per-store outcome keyed `vectors`, `memory`, `graph` |
+| `complete` | `bool` | `False` when any store reports `unsupported` or `failed` |
+| `incomplete_stores` | `List[str]` | Stores that may still hold the entity's data |
+| `to_dict()` | `Dict` | Serialized receipt, safe to persist as an audit record |
+
+```python
+receipt.to_dict()
+# {
+#   "entity_id": "customer-4471",
+#   "reason": "GDPR Art. 17 request #882",
+#   "erased_at": "2026-08-16T09:03:36.813220",
+#   "complete": False,
+#   "stores": {
+#     "vectors": {"status": "unsupported", "backend": "faiss",
+#                 "detail": "backend exposes no delete()/delete_vectors(); ..."},
+#     "memory":  {"status": "erased", "items": 14},
+#     "graph":   {"status": "erased", "nodes": 1, "edges": 3},
+#   },
+# }
+```
+
+Erasure runs outward-in — vectors, then memory, then the graph. The tombstone is
+the durable attestation that an erasure happened, so it is written last: a crash
+mid-cascade leaves the node present and the receipt incomplete, rather than a
+tombstone claiming more than actually happened. A store that raises is recorded
+as `failed` and the remaining stores are still erased. Erasing the same entity
+twice returns a receipt saying there was nothing left to do rather than raising.

-**`semantica.evals`** is planned as a comprehensive evaluation framework for measuring **extraction accuracy, graph quality, and pipeline performance**.
+`semantica.evals` measures the quality of decision intelligence outputs. It takes
+the decisions, audit trails, and reasoning text your pipeline produces and scores
+them against expectations you define, returning a structured summary you can log,
+assert on in tests, or track across runs.

-<Warning>
-  **`semantica.evals` is not yet implemented.** The module is a placeholder with `__all__ = []`. No classes or functions are available for import. This page describes the planned API only.
-</Warning>
+- A registry of named evaluators, from exact string matching to ROUGE overlap and
+  LLM-as-judge
+- `decision_scores`, a composite evaluator for `Decision` objects that checks
+  outcome, confidence bounds, required fields, provenance, and (optionally)
+  policy compliance
+- A `evaluate()` runner that applies several evaluators to a list of cases and
+  aggregates pass / fail / error counts
+- Per-evaluator **objectives** that let you override an evaluator's built-in
+  verdict at the run level

-## Planned Features
+<Note>
+  The module is versioned separately from the package: `semantica.evals.__version__`
+  is `"0.1.0"`. The public surface described here is stable, but expect additive
+  changes (new evaluators, new objective options) before it reaches 1.0.

-## Current Workaround

-Until `semantica.evals` ships, use `semantica.ontology.OntologyEvaluator` for ontology quality metrics:
+| Name | Kind | Role |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `evaluate(cases, evaluators, config=None, target_fn=None)` | function | Run named evaluators over each case, return an `EvalSummary` |
+| `list_evaluators()` | function | Sorted names of every registered evaluator |
+| `get_evaluator(name)` | function | Look up a single evaluator function by name |
+| `EvalMetric` | dataclass (frozen) | One evaluator's result: `score`, `passed`, `meta` |
+| `CaseResult` | namedtuple | One case's result: `case_id`, `status`, `metrics`, `details` |
+| `EvalSummary` | dataclass | Aggregate across cases: `total`, `passed`, `failed`, `errors`, `pass_rate`, `cases` |

 ```python
-from semantica.ontology import OntologyEvaluator
-
-evaluator = OntologyEvaluator()
-
-# evaluate_ontology takes the ontology dict only
-result = evaluator.evaluate_ontology(ontology)
-
-print("Coverage:    ", result.coverage_score)
-print("Completeness:", result.completeness_score)
-print("Gaps:        ", result.gaps)
-print("Suggestions: ", result.suggestions)
-
-# Full report with class granularity and relation completeness
-report = evaluator.generate_report(ontology)
-print("Coverage score:    ", report["evaluation"]["coverage_score"])
-print("Completeness score:", report["evaluation"]["completeness_score"])
-print("Relation coverage: ", report["relation_completeness"]["relation_coverage"])
+import semantica.evals as evals
+from semantica.evals import evaluate, list_evaluators, get_evaluator
 ```

-`EvaluationResult` fields returned by `evaluate_ontology()`:
+## Built-in evaluators

-| Field | Type | Description |
-| :----- | :---- | :----------- |
-| `coverage_score` | `float` | Fraction of competency questions answerable by the ontology |
-| `completeness_score` | `float` | Average of class and property completeness scores |
-| `gaps` | `List[str]` | Identified gaps in coverage |
-| `suggestions` | `List[str]` | Improvement suggestions |
-| `metrics` | `dict` | Detailed sub-metrics |
+Every evaluator is a plain function `fn(actual, expected, config=None) -> EvalMetric`
+registered under a stable name. `list_evaluators()` returns the current set:

- [Semantic Extract](semantic_extract) — Extraction module.
- [Knowledge Graph](kg) — Graph quality assessment.
- [Pipeline](pipeline) — Pipeline performance metrics.
- [Ontology Evaluator](ontology) — Available now for ontology quality metrics.
+```python
+>>> list_evaluators()
+['decision_scores', 'exact_match', 'keyword_check', 'length_range',
+ 'levenshtein', 'llm_as_judge', 'numeric_range', 'regex_match', 'rouge',
+ 'temporal_range']
+```
+
+| Name | Passes when | Relevant `config` keys |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `exact_match` | `actual == expected` | none |
+| `regex_match` | `re.search(expected, actual)` matches | none |
+| `keyword_check` | every required term appears in `actual` (word-boundary) | `required` (falls back to `expected`) |
+| `numeric_range` | `min <= actual <= max` | `min`, `max` (both required) |
+| `temporal_range` | ISO datetime `actual` falls in `[min, max]` | `min`, `max` as ISO strings (both required) |
+| `length_range` | `min <= len(actual) <= max` | `min` (default 0), `max` (required) |
+| `levenshtein` | normalized similarity `>= threshold` | `threshold` (default 0.8) |
+| `rouge` | ROUGE-1 F1 `> 0` and `>= threshold` | `threshold` (default 0.0) |
+| `llm_as_judge` | caller-supplied `judge_fn(actual, expected)` returns truthy | `judge_fn` (required callable) |
+| `decision_scores` | all configured sub-checks on a `Decision` pass | see below |
+
+An evaluator that cannot run (bad regex, missing bound, no `judge_fn`) returns an
+`EvalMetric` with an `"error"` key in `meta` rather than raising.
+
+### `decision_scores`
+
+`decision_scores` accepts a `Decision` (from `semantica.context.decision_models`)
+or its dict form and runs a set of field-level and governance checks. The score is
+the fraction of checks that passed; `passed` is `True` only when all of them did.
+
+| Sub-check | Controlled by |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Outcome matches | `expected_outcome` in config, or the case's `expected` |
+| Confidence in range | `min_confidence` (default 0.0), `max_confidence` (default 1.0) |
+| `decision_maker`, `reasoning`, `scenario` non-empty | always run |
+| Provenance present in metadata | `provenance_key` (default `"provenance"`) |
+| Policy compliance | `policy_engine` and `policy_id` both set; skipped otherwise |
+
+Passing `causal_chain_exists` in config raises `NotImplementedError`. That key is a
+reserved slot for a future release.
+
+## Running an evaluation
+
+`evaluate()` takes a list of cases and a list of evaluator names. A case is either
+a `(expected, actual)` tuple or a dict:
+
+```python
+{
+    "id": "loan-001",          # optional, generated if absent
+    "expected": ...,           # optional; some evaluators read it, some don't
+    "actual": ...,             # the value under test
+    "config": {...},           # optional, per-evaluator settings for this case
+    "target_fn": callable,     # optional, called with the case to produce `actual`
+}
+```
+
+If `actual` is missing, the runner calls the case's `target_fn` (or the
+`target_fn` passed to `evaluate()`) to produce it. Per-case `config` is deep-merged
+over the top-level `config`, so a case can override one evaluator's settings
+without discarding the rest.
+
+```python
+from datetime import datetime
+
+from semantica.context.decision_models import Decision
+from semantica.evals import evaluate
+
+decision = Decision(
+    decision_id="d-1",
+    category="loan",
+    scenario="loan-request",
+    reasoning="vetted against lending policy v3",
+    outcome="approve",
+    confidence=0.87,
+    timestamp=datetime.now(),
+    decision_maker="approver-a",
+    metadata={"provenance": "workflow:loan/v3"},
+)
+
+cases = [
+    {
+        "id": "loan-001",
+        "actual": decision,
+        "config": {
+            "decision_scores": {
+                "expected_outcome": "approve",
+                "min_confidence": 0.7,
+            }
+        },
+    },
+]
+
+summary = evaluate(cases, ["decision_scores"])
+print(summary.pass_rate)   # 1.0
+```
+
+Evaluators run independently per case. If one raises, that case's `status` becomes
+`"error"` and the exception text is captured in the metric's `meta`; the rest of
+the run continues.
+
+## Objectives
+
+By default each evaluator decides its own pass / fail. An **objective** overrides
+that verdict at the run level, keyed by evaluator name under `config`:
+
+```python
+# Raise levenshtein's bar from its default 0.8 to 0.9
+evaluate(
+    [("apple", "aple")],
+    evaluators=["levenshtein"],
+    config={"levenshtein": {"objective": {"direction": "maximize", "threshold": 0.9}}},
+)
+
+# Lower is better
+evaluate(
+    [("night", "nacht")],
+    evaluators=["levenshtein"],
+    config={"levenshtein": {"objective": {"direction": "minimize", "threshold": 0.5}}},
+)
+
+# Expect the metric NOT to match
+evaluate(
+    [("ok", "ok")],
+    evaluators=["exact_match"],
+    config={"exact_match": {"objective": {"expect": False}}},
+)
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `maximize` with `threshold`: pass iff `score >= threshold`. `maximize` with no
+  threshold is a no-op and the evaluator's own verdict stands.
+- `minimize` with `threshold`: pass iff `score <= threshold`. `minimize`
+  **requires** a threshold; omitting it raises `ValueError`.
+- `expect` (`True` / `False`): pass iff `bool(score)` equals it. Cannot be combined
+  with `direction` or `threshold`, and must be a real boolean.
+- A metric that already carries an `"error"` in its `meta` is unaffected by any
+  objective.
+- Invalid objective config is validated for every case before any evaluator runs,
+  so a bad objective fails the whole run up front rather than partway through.
+
+## Reading the summary
+
+```python
+summary = evaluate(cases, ["decision_scores"])
+
+summary.total, summary.passed, summary.failed, summary.errors
+summary.pass_rate    # passed / total, or 1.0 for an empty case list
+
+for case in summary.cases:
+    print(case.case_id, case.status)          # status: "pass" | "fail" | "error"
+    for name, metric in case.metrics.items():
+        print(name, metric.score, metric.passed)
+        print(metric.meta.get("reasons", {}))  # per-sub-check failure reasons
+```
+
+`EvalMetric` is frozen (`score: float`, `passed: bool`, `meta: dict`). `CaseResult`
+is a namedtuple, and `EvalSummary` is a plain dataclass, so all three are
+straightforward to serialize for logging or regression tracking.
+
+## Notes
+
+- `llm_as_judge` needs `config["judge_fn"]`, a callable
+  `judge_fn(actual, expected) -> bool` you supply. No LLM backend is imported
+  unless you pass one in.
+- `decision_scores` governance checks are opt-in: policy compliance is only
+  evaluated when both `policy_engine` and `policy_id` are present.

+# Objective Layer for semantica.evals Runner — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add per-metric objective support (direction + threshold, or Boolean expectation) to the `evaluate()` runner, overriding evaluator default pass verdicts, backward-compatible when no objective is configured.
+
+**Architecture:** The runner already iterates evaluators and computes per-case status. Objectives are read from `config["<name>"]["objective"]`, validated up front, and applied to each returned metric's `passed` field (and `details`) before aggregation. Error metrics always win over objectives.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.8+, stdlib only (typing, dataclasses). pytest for tests.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- Python >= 3.8: use `typing.Dict/List/Optional/Union`, never builtin generics or `|`.
+- Zero new dependencies.
+- Do not change the `EvalMetric` shape, the `evaluate()` signature, or the evaluator function signature.
+- Existing behavior with no `objective` configured must be byte-for-byte unchanged (all 62 existing tests keep passing).
+- Error metrics (`meta` contains `"error"`) always classify the case as `error`, regardless of objective.
+- Config errors are programmer errors: raise `ValueError` from `evaluate()` before any evaluator runs (fail-fast).
+- Tests go in `tests/evals/`, pytest class style, no new files outside the listed paths.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Objective parsing, validation, and re-decision in the runner
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `semantica/evals/runner.py`
+- Test: `tests/evals/test_runner.py`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `EvalMetric` from `.types` (fields: `score`, `passed`, `meta`); `evaluate(cases, evaluators, config=None, target_fn=None)` existing signature.
+- Produces: private helpers `_parse_objective(name, eval_config) -> Optional[Dict]` (returns `None` when no objective configured, raises `ValueError` on invalid config) and `_apply_objective(metric, objective) -> bool` (returns the re-decided `passed`). Public `evaluate()` behavior extended as specified.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+
+Append a new test class to `tests/evals/test_runner.py`:

+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `python3 -m pytest tests/evals/test_runner.py -q`
+Expected: the new `TestObjective` tests fail (objective config ignored → `exact_match` passes under `expect:false` etc.); the pre-existing tests in the file still pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement objective parsing, validation, and re-decision**
+
+In `semantica/evals/runner.py`, add two helpers before `evaluate` and wire them into the evaluator loop.
+
+```python
+def _parse_objective(name, eval_config):
+    """Return the validated objective dict, or None when not configured.
+
+    Raises ValueError for invalid configurations (programmer error).
+    """
+    objective = (eval_config or {}).get("objective")
+    if objective is None:
+        return None
+    direction = objective.get("direction")
+    threshold = objective.get("threshold")
+    expect = objective.get("expect")
+
+    if expect is not None:
+        if direction is not None or threshold is not None:
+            raise ValueError(
+                f"objective for '{name}': 'expect' cannot be combined with "
+                "'direction' or 'threshold'"
+            )
+        return {"expect": bool(expect)}
+    if direction == "minimize":
+        if threshold is None:
+            raise ValueError(
+                f"objective for '{name}': 'minimize' requires a 'threshold'"
+            )
+        return {"direction": "minimize", "threshold": float(threshold)}
+    if direction == "maximize":
+        if threshold is None:
+            # no bar to re-decide against; treat as absent (evaluator default stands)
+            return None
+        return {"direction": "maximize", "threshold": float(threshold)}
+    raise ValueError(
+        f"objective for '{name}': 'direction' must be 'maximize' or 'minimize' "
+        f"(got {direction!r})"
+    )
+
+
+def _apply_objective(metric, objective):
+    """Return the objective-adjusted pass verdict for a non-error metric."""
+    if "expect" in objective:
+        return bool(metric.score) == objective["expect"]
+    if objective["direction"] == "minimize":
+        return metric.score <= objective["threshold"]
+    return metric.score >= objective["threshold"]
+```
+
+Then modify the evaluator loop in `evaluate()` so the parsed objective is computed once per case (outside the evaluator loop, since it only depends on merged config), and applied inside the loop:
+
+```python
+        objective_by_name = {
+            name: _parse_objective(name, merged.get(name) or {})
+            for name in evaluators
+        }
+        metrics: Dict[str, EvalMetric] = {}
+        details: Dict[str, Any] = {}
+        failed, errored = False, False
+        for name in evaluators:
+            eval_config = merged.get(name) or {}
+            try:
+                metric = get_evaluator(name)(actual, expected, config=eval_config)
+                objective = objective_by_name.get(name)
+                if objective is not None and "error" not in metric.meta:
+                    metric = EvalMetric(metric.score, _apply_objective(metric, objective), metric.meta)
+                metrics[name] = metric
+                if "error" in metric.meta:
+                    errored = True
+                    details[name] = metric.meta
+                elif not metric.passed:
+                    failed = True
+                    details[name] = metric.meta
+            except Exception as exc:  # noqa: BLE001
+                errored = True
+                metrics[name] = EvalMetric(0.0, False, {"error": str(exc)})
+                details[name] = {"error": str(exc)}
+```
+
+Note: `objective_by_name` is computed once per case (it depends only on merged config), so invalid config raises `ValueError` at the first case — satisfying the fail-fast requirement. `EvalMetric` is a frozen dataclass, so the re-verdict constructs a new instance preserving score/meta.

+  - `evaluate()` now accepts `config={"<evaluator>": {"objective": {"direction": "maximize"|"minimize", "threshold": X}}}` to override the evaluator's default pass verdict with a threshold; `{"objective": {"expect": bool}}` expresses a Boolean expectation
+  - `minimize` requires a `threshold`; `maximize` without one is a no-op; `expect` cannot be combined with `direction`/`threshold`; invalid config raises `ValueError` before any evaluator runs
+  - Error metrics are never affected by objectives (error wins over fail)
+  - Backward compatible: no `objective` key → existing behavior unchanged
+  - New tests in `tests/evals/test_runner.py::TestObjective`
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify docs examples run**
+
+Run the three examples from Step 1 as a Python script (import `evaluate`, run each snippet) to confirm they don't raise unexpectedly. No test output assertion needed beyond "no exception" and sensible status values.

+- **Type consistency:** `_parse_objective(name, eval_config) -> Optional[Dict]`, `_apply_objective(metric, objective) -> bool`; `EvalMetric(score, passed, meta)` positional construction preserved everywhere.
+- **Backward compat:** objective parsed to `None` for absent config → loop behavior identical to before.

+# Design: Objective layer for `semantica.evals` runner
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-19
+**Issue:** semantica-agi/semantica#1091 (assigned to pkupt)
+**Base:** PR #1090 (`semantica.evals` module)
+
+## 1. Problem
+
+`semantica.evals` runs named evaluators and aggregates per-case pass/fail, but the pass judgement is hard-coded inside each evaluator — a higher score always means "better". There is no way to express an evaluation objective at the run level:
+
+- apply a threshold the evaluator does not encode (e.g. "F1 must be ≥ 0.7");
+- reverse the direction (e.g. "lower edit distance is better");
+- express a Boolean expectation (e.g. "this metric should be `false`").
+
+This blocks the domain-specific benchmark harnesses `docs/community-projects.md` says `semantica.evals` supports. Palantir AIP Evals models exactly this: each metric has an **objective** (Boolean expected value, or numeric `maximize`/`minimize` direction with an optional threshold), and a test case passes when **all** its metrics meet their objectives.
+
+## 2. Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- A per-metric objective configuration consumed by the `evaluate()` runner.
+- Runner-level pass/fail re-decision for numeric scores and Boolean metrics.
+- Backward-compatible behavior when no objective is configured.
+- Tests and docs.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Changing the evaluator signature or the `EvalMetric` shape.
+- Multi-iteration test cases (AIP Evals has them; Semantica's runner is single-iteration per case).
+- Objective-aware aggregation beyond per-case `pass`/`fail` (existing `pass_rate` semantics are kept).
+
+## 3. Design
+
+### 3.1 Configuration surface
+
+Objective is configured per evaluator inside the runner's `config`, under the evaluator name:
+
+```python
+config = {
+    "<evaluator_name>": {
+        "objective": {
+            "direction": "maximize" | "minimize",
+            "threshold": <float>,   # optional
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Boolean-form objective (shorthand): for metrics whose score is Boolean-like (0.0/1.0) or for semantic clarity, `{"objective": {"expect": true}}` / `{"objective": {"expect": false}}` is also supported.
+
+### 3.2 Evaluation semantics
+
+For each metric produced by an evaluator during a case run, if an objective exists for that evaluator name, the runner recomputes the metric's pass verdict:
+
+- **maximize**: pass iff `score >= threshold`. If no `threshold` is given, the objective is treated as absent (evaluator's own verdict stands) — see 3.4 rule 2.
+- **minimize**: pass iff `score <= threshold` (threshold required, see 3.4 rule 1).
+- **expect**: pass iff `bool(score)` equals `expect` (for Boolean-style metrics).
+
+When an objective is present, the runner **overrides** `metric.passed` with the objective verdict. When absent, `metric.passed` is used unchanged (existing behavior).
+
+The `objective` key is a **reserved runner-level key**: it is consumed by the runner and is passed through to the evaluator function inside `eval_config` (evaluators already ignore unknown config keys via `cfg.get(...)`, so this is harmless); evaluators must not rely on it. The runner re-decision happens on the metric the evaluator returns, so no evaluator change is required.
+
+### 3.3 Interaction with errors
+
+An `EvalMetric` whose `meta` contains `"error"` remains classified as an error regardless of objective (error wins over fail, per the existing contract). Objectives only affect non-error metrics.
+
+### 3.4 Ambiguity rules (explicit decisions)
+
+1. **`minimize` without `threshold`** is rejected at config-validation time with a clear error (`ValueError`), because "lowest is best" has no absolute pass bar without a threshold. (AIP Evals allows direction-only; we require threshold to keep pass/fail well-defined.) — *Chosen for determinism; revisit if a use case demands direction-only minimize.*
+2. **`maximize` without `threshold`** behaves like no objective (pass iff evaluator's own `passed`), because the evaluator's default is already "higher is better".
+3. **`expect` with a numeric `direction`/`threshold`** is a config error (`ValueError`): pick one form.
+4. **Objective on a metric that errors** → the error wins (3.3), objective ignored.
+
+### 3.5 Aggregation
+
+Unchanged:
+
+- Case `status`: `"error"` if any metric errored, else `"fail"` if any failed, else `"pass"`.
+- `pass_rate` = passed / total (1.0 on empty).
+- `metrics` dict holds the (possibly re-verdict'd) `EvalMetric`; the re-verdict is observable via `metric.passed`.
+- `details[name]` is populated when a metric ends up failed **after** objective re-decision (i.e. objective-failed metrics appear in `details`; metrics that pass under objective are not recorded there). This mirrors the existing "record failures in details" behavior applied to the final verdict.
+
+### 3.6 Files
+
+- `semantica/evals/runner.py` — add objective parsing/validation and re-decision inside the evaluator loop.
+- `tests/evals/test_runner.py` — new test class(es) for objective semantics.
+- `semantica/evals/usage.md` — document the objective config and examples.
+- `CHANGELOG.md` — `[Unreleased]` entry.
+
+No new dependencies; Python ≥ 3.8 (stdlib `typing`).
+
+## 4. Error handling
+
+- Invalid objective config (`direction` not in {maximize, minimize}, both `expect` and `direction`, `minimize` without threshold, non-numeric threshold) → `ValueError` raised at runner config parse, before any evaluator runs. Deterministic, fail-fast.
+- These are programmer errors, not per-case data errors — no per-case `error` status involved.
+
+## 5. Testing
+
+New tests in `tests/evals/test_runner.py`:
+
+1. maximize + threshold: score ≥ threshold → pass; below → fail.
+2. minimize + threshold: score ≤ threshold → pass; above → fail (e.g. levenshtein on a close pair).
+3. minimize without threshold → `ValueError`.
+4. expect=true / expect=false on a Boolean metric (exact_match) — pass/fail per expectation.
+5. no objective → existing behavior unchanged (evaluator's own verdict).
+6. objective + error metric → error wins (status=error, not fail).
+7. config error (bad direction) → `ValueError` raised by `evaluate()`.
+8. objective turns a passing metric into failing → `details` records it; case status becomes fail.
+9. backward-compat: all existing 62 tests keep passing.
+
+## 6. Compatibility
+
+- Public API (`evaluate`, `list_evaluators`, `get_evaluator`, types) unchanged in signature.
+- `EvalMetric` shape unchanged (score, passed, meta) — only `passed` may be recomputed by the runner.
+- Existing configs (no `objective` key) behave identically.

+## 🧹 Erasing an Entity Everywhere - ErasureCoordinator
+
+`purge_node()` removes an entity from **one graph**. The same content can still be
+sitting in agent memory and in your vector store, so purge on its own is one step
+of an erasure workflow rather than the whole of it.
+
+`ErasureCoordinator` drives the whole cascade and hands you a receipt saying what
+it actually managed to erase.
+
+```python
+from semantica.context import AgentMemory, ContextGraph, ErasureCoordinator
+
+coordinator = ErasureCoordinator(graph=knowledge, memory=memory)
+
+receipt = coordinator.erase_entity(
+    "customer-4471",
+    reason="GDPR Art. 17 request #882",
+)
+
+if receipt.complete:
+    print("Erased everywhere")
+else:
+    print("Still holding data:", receipt.incomplete_stores)
+```
+
+### Always Check the Receipt
+
+The receipt is the point of the feature — **do not treat the call itself as proof
+the data is gone**. Each store reports one of five statuses:
+
+| Status | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `erased` | Reached, data removed (on the vectors leg: the store accepted the delete for the ids given) |
+| `not_found` | Reached, held nothing for this entity |
+| `not_configured` | No such store was bound — normal, not a failure |
+| `unsupported` | The store cannot delete at all; retrying will not help |
+| `failed` | The store was reached and the deletion did not succeed |
+
+```python
+receipt.to_dict()
+# {
+#   "entity_id": "customer-4471",
+#   "reason": "GDPR Art. 17 request #882",
+#   "erased_at": "2026-08-16T09:03:36.813220",
+#   "complete": False,
+#   "stores": {
+#     "vectors": {"status": "unsupported", "backend": "faiss",
+#                 "detail": "backend exposes no delete()/delete_vectors(); ..."},
+#     "memory":  {"status": "erased", "items": 14},
+#     "graph":   {"status": "erased", "nodes": 1, "edges": 3},
+#   },
+# }
+```
+
+`complete` is `False` when any store reports `unsupported` or `failed`, which is
+your signal to handle that store out of band. FAISS, Milvus and Weaviate expose
+no delete method today, so erasure genuinely cannot be completed on them — the
+coordinator says so rather than reporting a success it did not achieve.
+
+### Good to Know
+
+- **Order is vectors → memory → graph.** The graph tombstone is the durable record
+  that an erasure happened, so it is written last: a crash mid-cascade leaves the
+  node present and the receipt incomplete, rather than a tombstone claiming more
+  than actually happened.
+- **A failing store does not abort the rest.** Partial failure is recorded in the
+  receipt and the remaining stores are still erased.
+- **Every store is optional.** `ErasureCoordinator(graph=graph)` is fine; the other
+  legs report `not_configured`.
+- **It is idempotent.** Erasing the same entity twice returns a receipt saying
+  there was nothing left to do, rather than raising.
+- **Batch:** `coordinator.erase_entities([...], reason=...)` returns one receipt per
+  entity, in order, so one entity's failure does not stop the others.

+Cross-store erasure coordination.
+
+``ContextGraph.purge_node()`` is graph-scope by design (#957): it removes the
+node and leaves a tombstone, but any copy of the same content held in
+``AgentMemory`` or in a bound vector store is untouched. That makes purge one
+step of an erasure workflow rather than the whole of it, and leaves the caller
+to drive the remaining steps by hand -- with no record of which of them
+actually succeeded.
+
+:class:`ErasureCoordinator` drives the cascade across the stores it is given
+and returns an :class:`ErasureReceipt` describing what was reached and what was
+not. It *composes* the existing public APIs; nothing in ``context_graph.py`` or
+``agent_memory.py`` changes, and ``ContextGraph`` keeps its graph-scope
+contract.
+
+The property that matters is honest partial reporting. Three vector backends
+(FAISS, Milvus, Weaviate) expose no delete at all, so erasure is genuinely not
+completable on them today. The receipt says ``unsupported`` for those rather
+than reporting a success it did not achieve -- a receipt that reads
+"graph: erased, memory: 14 erased, vectors: unsupported on faiss" is
+actionable; a bare ``True`` is a compliance liability.
+

+# Semantica Evals — Usage
+
+The evals module measures decision intelligence outputs: decision records,
+audit trails, and reasoning output — with deterministic and model-backed
+evaluators plus a small runner.
+
+## Import
+
+```python
+import semantica.evals as evals          # through the root lazy proxy
+from semantica.evals import evaluate, list_evaluators
+```
+
+## Discover evaluators
+
+```python
+>>> evals.list_evaluators()
+['decision_scores', 'exact_match', 'keyword_check', 'length_range',
+ 'levenshtein', 'llm_as_judge', 'numeric_range', 'regex_match', 'rouge',
+ 'temporal_range']
+```
+
+`list_evaluators` returns every name registered by importing the package —
+the import wiring runs each evaluator module's `register()` side effects.
+
+## Run the runner over decision records
+
+`evaluate(cases, evaluators, config=None)` accepts a list of cases; each case is
+a dict with `expected`, `actual`, optional `config`, and optional `id`. The
+`actual` can be a finished `Decision` object or its dict form.
+
+```python
+from datetime import datetime
+from semantica.context.decision_models import Decision
+from semantica.evals import evaluate
+
+decision = Decision(
+    decision_id="d-1",
+    category="loan",
+    scenario="loan-request",
+    reasoning="vetted by policy",
+    outcome="approve",
+    confidence=0.87,
+    timestamp=datetime.now(),
+    decision_maker="approver-a",
+    metadata={"provenance": "workflow:loan/v3"},
+)
+
+cases = [
+    {
+        "id": "loan-001",
+        "actual": decision,
+        "config": {
+            "decision_scores": {
+                "expected_outcome": "approve",
+                "min_confidence": 0.7,
+            }
+        },
+    },
+    {
+        "id": "loan-002",
+        "actual": {
+            "decision_id": "d-2",
+            "category": "loan",
+            "scenario": "loan-request",
+            "reasoning": "auto",
+            "outcome": "reject",
+            "confidence": 0.9,
+            "timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
+            "decision_maker": "system",
+            "metadata": {},
+        },
+        "config": {
+            "decision_scores": {
+                "expected_outcome": "approve",
+                "min_confidence": 0.7,
+            }
+        },
+    },
+]
+
+summary = evaluate(cases, ["decision_scores"])
+```
+
+`evaluate` also runs high-level names like `exact_match`, `keyword_check`, or
+`llm_as_judge`; per-case or top-level `config` may carry per-evaluator settings
+(e.g. `config={"exact_match": {...}}`).
+
+## Set per-evaluator objectives
+
+By default each evaluator decides its own pass/fail. To override that
+verdict at the run level, configure an **objective** per evaluator name:
+
+```python
+from semantica.evals import evaluate
+
+# Require a minimum similarity (levenshtein's default bar is >= 0.8; here we set 0.7):
+evaluate(
+    [("apple", "aple")],
+    evaluators=["levenshtein"],
+    config={"levenshtein": {"objective": {"direction": "maximize", "threshold": 0.7}}},
+)
+
+# Lower is better — override the direction:
+evaluate(
+    [("night", "nacht")],
+    evaluators=["levenshtein"],
+    config={"levenshtein": {"objective": {"direction": "minimize", "threshold": 0.7}}},
+)
+
+# Boolean expectation — the metric matches (score 1), but we expect it not to:
+evaluate(
+    [("ok", "ok")],
+    evaluators=["exact_match"],
+    config={"exact_match": {"objective": {"expect": False}}},
+)
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `maximize` + `threshold`: pass iff `score >= threshold`. `maximize` without
+  a threshold is a no-op (the evaluator's own verdict stands).
+- `minimize` + `threshold`: pass iff `score <= threshold`. `minimize`
+  **requires** a threshold — omitting it or setting it to `None` raises
+  `ValueError`.
+- `expect` (`true`/`false`): pass iff `bool(score)` matches; cannot be
+  combined with `direction`/`threshold`. `expect` must be a real boolean
+  (a string like `"false"` is rejected).
+- A metric whose `meta` contains `"error"` is always an error, never affected
+  by an objective.
+- Invalid objective config (non-dict objective, bad `direction`, non-bool
+  `expect`, missing `minimize` threshold) raises `ValueError` before any
+  evaluator runs.
+
+## Interpret the summary
+
+```python
+>>> summary.total, summary.passed, summary.failed, summary.errors
+(2, 1, 1, 0)
+>>> summary.pass_rate
+0.5
+
+>>> for case in summary.cases:
+...     print(case.case_id, case.status)
+...     for name, metric in case.metrics.items():
+...         print("  ", name, metric.score, metric.passed)
+...         print("    ", metric.meta.get("reasons"))
+loan-001 pass
+   decision_scores 1.0 True
+    {}
+loan-002 fail
+   decision_scores 0.667 False
+    {'decision_outcome': "expected 'approve', got 'reject'",
+     'provenance': 'no provenance record found in metadata'}
+```
+
+`EvalSummary` fields:
+
+- `total` / `passed` / `failed` / `errors` — case counts by status.
+- `pass_rate` — `passed / total` (1.0 on an empty case list).
+- `cases` — one `CaseResult` per input case: `case_id`, `status`
+  (`pass` | `fail` | `error`), `metrics` (name → `EvalMetric` with `score`,
+  `passed`, `meta`), and `details`.
+
+Evaluator failures do not crash the run; they surface as `status="error"` on
+the affected case with the exception text captured in the metric meta.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **`llm_as_judge` needs `config["judge_fn"]`**: a callable
+  `judge_fn(actual, expected) -> bool` supplied by the caller. Without it the
+  evaluator fails with `config['judge_fn'] required`.
+- **`decision_scores` governance checks are opt-in**: policy compliance is only
+  evaluated when both `config["policy_engine"]` and `config["policy_id"]` are
+  provided; otherwise those checks are skipped. The reserved
+  `causal_chain_exists` slot is not yet implemented.

+``ContextGraph.purge_node()`` is graph-scope by design: it removes the node and
+writes a tombstone attesting the content is gone, while the same content can
+survive verbatim as an ``AgentMemory`` item and as an embedding. The
+coordinator drives the cascade across every bound store and returns a receipt
+saying what was reached -- and, just as importantly, what was not.
+
+These tests run against real ``ContextGraph`` and ``AgentMemory`` instances
+rather than mocks. The bug this feature exists to prevent lives in the
+interaction between them (``find_by_entity`` truncating the sweep the caller
+uses to decide the erasure is done), so mocking that interaction away would
+test nothing. The vector stores *are* fakes, because the point of those tests
+is backend shape -- ``delete_vectors`` vs ``delete`` vs neither -- and three of
+the real backends cannot delete at all.
