Three delete modes
| Mode | Action | Restorable |

| Archive only | Mark archived=1 | Yes |
| Database delete | Delete DB row + clear 5 global-state fields, rollout kept | Yes (manually) |

Safety
- Terminate Codex before deleting (Codex overwrites state on exit)
- Auto-backups DB and global state before destructive ops
- 5-second countdown confirmation
