Overview

Mechanism for QATesterAgent to clean up temporary test accounts.

Requirements

4. Verify cleanup in logs
5. No cascade delete on real users

---

Safety Rules

1. Never delete users without est_ prefix
2. Use soft delete before hard delete

5. Test cleanup in staging first

Implementation
