# Repository-derived index retirement review

This pack performs no deletion, disconnection or network call. The marker is synthetic. Identify the actual feature and storage architecture before using the record. Current Cursor Search documentation describes local Instant Grep and no stored codebase embeddings for search.

If approved, use repository-marker.txt in an otherwise synthetic workspace to record the feature’s before/after behaviour. Follow the product’s supported retirement process; do not delete unknown application files. A missing search result is an observation, not proof of complete erasure. Cloud snapshots and setup secrets are out of scope.
