Data retention policy for replay read models.

The policy decides how long replay data (run envelopes, runtime events, lattice snapshots, structural recommendations, task runs) is kept when persistence is enabled:

  • "infinite" — never purge (default)
  • "days7" — purge rows older than seven days, on boot and hourly
  • "session" — purge all replay data when the runtime boots

Config-like tables (webhooks, API tokens, knowledge, runtime settings) and billing data (usage records) are never purged.

The applied policy is persisted in runtime_settings and survives restarts. Without persistence there is nothing to purge, so the policy is informational only.

Summary

Types

policy()
purge_counts()

Functions

apply_policy(policy)

Validates and applies a retention policy.

policies()
policy()

Effective retention policy: the persisted setting when present, otherwise the environment-seeded default (SYNTROPY_RETENTION_POLICY).

purge(policy, announce \\ :recorder)

Purges replay data according to the given policy and returns per-table deletion counts. Purge failures never raise; they are observed through PersistenceHealth and reported as an empty count map.

purge_after_days()
report()

Retention posture for the API and the platform cockpit.

Types

policy()

@type policy() :: String.t()

purge_counts()

@type purge_counts() :: %{required(String.t()) => non_neg_integer()}

Functions

apply_policy(policy)

@spec apply_policy(term()) :: {:ok, map()} | {:error, String.t()}

Validates and applies a retention policy.

The policy is written through to runtime_settings (best effort) and also applied to the Application environment so persistence-disabled runtimes keep the value for the life of the node.

policies()

@spec policies() :: [policy()]

policy()

@spec policy() :: policy()

Effective retention policy: the persisted setting when present, otherwise the environment-seeded default (SYNTROPY_RETENTION_POLICY).

purge(policy, announce \\ :recorder)

@spec purge(policy(), :recorder | :direct) :: purge_counts()

Purges replay data according to the given policy and returns per-table deletion counts. Purge failures never raise; they are observed through PersistenceHealth and reported as an empty count map.

announce controls how the retention_purged event is emitted: :recorder goes through the running EventRecorder; :direct persists the event row directly, for boot-time purges that run before the recorder hydrates.

purge_after_days()

@spec purge_after_days() :: pos_integer()

report()

@spec report() :: map()

Retention posture for the API and the platform cockpit.
