remain useful as bundles grow, get refactored, and are partially
generated by agents.

### 9.1 Erasure profile (optional)

Deleting a concept file removes its content, but a plain deletion can still
*disclose* that the concept once existed: dangling links from other concepts
continue to name it, `index.md` and `log.md` may still reference it, and in a
git-distributed bundle the content remains recoverable from history. Bundles
that must not leak erased knowledge MAY declare conformance with the **erasure
profile**, which requires that, when a concept is erased:

1. Inbound links to it from other concepts in the same revision are removed or
redacted, so no dangling reference names the erased concept.
2. Its concept ID no longer appears in any `index.md` or `log.md`.
3. Where the distribution history itself must not disclose the concept, the
erasure is realized by rewriting history (for example, a fresh export)
rather than an additive deletion commit.

The erasure profile is opt-in. Consumers MUST NOT assume a bundle follows it
unless the bundle states so, and MUST NOT treat a non-conforming bundle as
malformed — ordinary bundles remain valid under the rules above.
