  "summary": "The report outlines a retention and deletion workflow for temporary campaign media in a Node.js 24 environment, emphasizing the importance of explicit retention deadlines for each asset. It recommends maintaining separate identifiers for source and derivative objects, storing these IDs within campaign records, and adhering to a deletion contract that includes asset ID, kind (source, thumbnail, or video), delete-after timestamp, and confirmation state. The report stresses the need for individual deletion operations, using a queue message per confirmed ID to ensure deduplication and prevent retries from causing further deletions. Additionally, it advises checking for legal holds, exports, or support cases that might extend retention before proceeding with deletion. The overarching goal is to maintain data integrity, prevent accidental loss of critical assets, and ensure that cleanup operations are auditable and explainable for on-call engineers.",
