What was wrong

Readers did not have a guide explaining how archiving threads frees workspace storage while keeping conversations, or how to configure automatic retention.

What changed

Added /guides/archive-threads with archiving and recovery steps, the experimental Storage & retention controls, deletion warnings, and an optional prompt for keeping compressed conversation copies.

The archiving prompt asks how many inactive days to use, defaults to 30, checks the complete affected thread set, and requires confirmation before archiving. It excludes personal workspaces by default and skips any parent whose affected threads fail the safety checks.

The hero screenshot is centered independently of the entrance animation, including when it is wider than the text column.

How you verified

  • Remote CI passes on d6813cfcc7864b8a7f1f1d705e1294d296213854.
  • Source review covers the complete guide and the alignment fix; the production build retains the calculated centering margin.
  • Desktop and phone browser checks pass: the hero is centered and all six download requests preserve the guide referrer.
  • Download requests were intercepted for verification; no test events were sent to PostHog.
  • Full-page desktop and phone screenshots show loaded images and expanded FAQ answers.

The route does not exist on the baseline; the before captures show its actual 404 response.
