Ends every session, removes the linked GitHub account and every membership, and empties the identity: the name becomes a former member and the address becomes an unroutable one at .invalid, so the address they used is free again and nothing can be sent to it.

Refused while this person is the sole owner of any workspace, because a workspace with no owner is unreachable by everybody including its members. The refusal names the workspaces, so there is something to do about it: hand the ownership over, or delete the workspace.

The memberships row is kept, marked removed. Views, notifications, API keys, invitations and the authorship column on issues and comments all point at one, and the audit log records what a member did by naming theirs — dropping the row would leave a workspace’s own history pointing at nothing.

Nothing in GitHub is touched. Issues and comments belong to the repository, and the attribution Pealboard wrote into a body is the record of who asked for the work rather than a copy of an account.

Access. Requires a signed-in person. No workspace is chosen. A person asking to be erased, which nobody else may ask on their behalf. Readable by every credential, whatever scopes it is narrowed to.
