The cleanup and guarantees pages said a tag or branch pointing at a pruned version stops resolving, while the table page said tagged versions are exempt and quietly kept. The pinned Lance (ae2903729f02, the commit in Cargo.lock and in Sophon's Lance submodule) keeps a tagged version whatever its age, but with its default policy refuses to clean up while a tag points at a version older than the window, raising an error that names the tag. optimize() passes that default, so it raises after compacting, prunes nothing and skips its index update until the tag is deleted. Sophon's cleanup job uses the same default. Branches are retained separately: cleaning the parent keeps the version a branch was forked from and the files the branch reads, while the parent's other old versions are pruned. The pages now say both, checked locally against the baseline SDK.
