+## 2026-10-13 — M6 — DONE
+
+- Implemented: managed-only `remove NAME [--yes]`; safe interactive and noninteractive confirmation; exact public-key/marker/address block removal with post-lock identity revalidation; M3 transactional apply and rollback; restrictive timestamped archival of associated client artifacts; recovery handling for partial archival; and identity-protected, secret-free removal audit events.
+- Coordinator: `gpt-5.6-sol` (`high`)
+- Subagents: `milestone_worker` / `milestone_repairer`, `gpt-5.6-luna` (`medium`)
+- Repair cycles: 5
+- Sol review: replaced aliased and tautological focused tests with exact neighbor preservation and isolated identity cases; added privilege and confirmation gates; hardened archive source, owner, mode, hardlink, symlink, collision, partial-copy, partial-delete, and recovery handling; added post-lock metadata revalidation; protected audit files with restrictive ownership and opened-FD identity checks; preserved critical artifact-recovery status through server rollback; corrected test contamination, false original-path assertions, deterministic timestamps, and documentation ordering.
+- Verification: `bash -n wg-manager.sh`, `bash -n tests/run.sh`, `bash -n tests/helpers.sh`, `bash -n tests/mocks/bin/*`, `bash tests/run.sh remove-client`, `bash tests/run.sh remove-cancel`, `bash tests/run.sh remove-exact-block`, `bash tests/run.sh remove-rollback`, `bash tests/run.sh archive-client`, `bash tests/run.sh archive-path-safety`, `bash tests/run.sh remove-preserves-neighbors`, `bash tests/run.sh no-secret-logs`, `bash tests/run.sh`, `git diff --check`, permission, scope, and secret-pattern review.
+- Result: all required checks passed; remove-client/remove-cancel/remove-exact-block/remove-rollback/archive-client/archive-path-safety/remove-preserves-neighbors/no-secret-logs passed 17/16/5/7/58/31/5/41 assertions, and the full regression suite passed 461 assertions. Optional `shellcheck wg-manager.sh tests/*.sh tests/mocks/bin/*` was `SKIP` because ShellCheck is unavailable.
+- Decisions: none
+- Known limitations: real WireGuard, `/etc/wireguard`, networking, systemd, firewall, routes, sysctl, journal, real terminal confirmation, and deployment-server behavior were not accessed or tested; M6 verification is fixture- and mock-based as required. Permanent purge is intentionally not implemented.

 inspection form that writes the complete client configuration to stdout;
 ordinary `show`, `config`, and `qr` output remains secret-safe.
 
+## M6 удаление клиента
+
+`remove NAME [--yes]` удаляет только подтверждённый managed-peer после повторной проверки точного публичного ключа, адресов и блока под lock. В интерактивном терминале без `--yes` показываются имя, адреса и только последние 8 символов публичного ключа; ответ, отличный от `y`, отменяет операцию без изменений. В неинтерактивном режиме `--yes` обязателен.
+
+Изменение серверной конфигурации выполняется внутри транзакции: сначала конфигурация заменяется и проверяется в WireGuard, а затем финализатор архивирует связанные `.conf`, `.meta`, `.key`, `.pub` и `.psk` (если существуют) в уникальный каталог `ARCHIVE_DIR` с режимами `0700`/`0600`. Ошибка архивирования после применения приводит к откату и оставляет исходные файлы доступными для восстановления; архивы не удаляются автоматически и служат восстановительным материалом. Журнал содержит operation, target, UTC timestamp, outcome и короткий суффикс публичного ключа; ключи и содержимое конфигураций в него не записываются.
+
+`remove` возвращает `64` для ошибки аргументов, `65` для неподтверждённой или небезопасной identity/path, `69` для отсутствующей обязательной зависимости и `70` для ошибки операции или архивации. Ошибка аудита после успешной мутации явно сообщается и возвращает операционный статус; отмена остаётся успешной без изменения состояния.
