• 💾 Soft-deletion only — desks and rooms are never fully deleted
• 💡 Pre-validation of all inputs
• 📦 Reversible operations — metadata snapshots, test cleanup
• 🔒 Never destroys without confirmation
• 🔄 Project-wide refactor hygiene — all renames and modularisation are performed project-wide, with automated updates to all references and documentation to prevent legacy issues.
