Erase a user's memory and write a signed erasure certificate

Govern-o json | yaml

Synopsis#

maqpna memory erase --user U [--gateway URL] [-n NS] [--store NAME] [--certificate-out FILE] [--yes]

Flags#

FlagTypeDescriptionDefault
--certificate-outstringwrite the erasure certificate JSON to FILEnone
--gatewaystringgateway base URL (env MAQPNA_GATEWAY_URL; default: the context's gateway)none
--oidc-token-filestringfile holding an OIDC access token for the admin API (env MAQPNA_OIDC_TOKEN_FILE); wins over --tokennone
--storestringonly this store (needs -n)none
--tokenstringstatic admin token (env MAQPNA_ADMIN_TOKEN; dev/break-glass)none
--userstringuser (token sub) whose memory entries are erased (required)none
-y, --yesswitchdo not ask for confirmation (required when stdin is not a terminal)none

The global flags (--context, -o, --no-color, ...) work with every command.

Examples#

maqpna memory erase --user alice@example.com -n team-a --certificate-out erasure.json

What happens when you run it#

  • Talks to the gateway: --gateway, else MAQPNA_GATEWAY_URL, else the current context's gateway (maqpna context).
  • Authenticates to the admin API with the token stored by maqpna login, --oidc-token-file, or a static --token (MAQPNA_ADMIN_TOKEN).
  • --yes: do not ask for confirmation (required when stdin is not a terminal).
  • Prints a table by default; -o json or -o yaml print the data, and --jq EXPR filters the JSON.

Exit codes#

Terminal demo#

maqpna memory erase --help.cast

This needs a gateway feature the local MAQPNA does not enable (memory, the token vault or signed audit checkpoints), so the recording shows its help.
