+name: Teardown Squawk
+
+# Squawk is retired. tektum/verity-images now re-evaluates every published
+# digest from its attested per-platform SPDX SBOMs inside GitHub Actions and
+# reports findings as code scanning alerts (verity-images#1086), so this
+# service owns no monitoring responsibility. This workflow deletes the
+# Cloudflare footprint one environment at a time and retires the GitHub App
+# installation. Nothing here is recoverable: the D1 database is destroyed
+# without an export.
