Shipped and supported enough startup apps to learn this the hard way: users will delete things they shouldn’t, and you will be asked to explain or undo it. Soft deletes and basic metadata (created_at, deleted_by, etc.) have saved me multiple times — not for some future feature, just for basic operational sanity.
