# Audited item archival
After human confirmation, run `<BACKLOGCTL> --json item archive --id ID --reason TEXT --confirm --db PATH`, using the exact executable path emitted by bootstrap/recovery. This is soft archival, never deletion. Default list/export omit archived records; `show` and `list --all` preserve them for audit. Never access SQLite directly.
