ProcessRetentionLease

A retention lease: it keeps a run (and every run it started) from being deleted when its retention period ends, until it is released. Returned on a run summary’s retentionLease and a retention status’s lease.

Kind: an object, used in responses.

Fields

Every field is present in a response; empty ones are null.

Field	Type	Description
appliedAtUtc	datetime	When the lease was taken, in UTC (for an inherited lease: when the ancestor’s lease was taken).
appliedByUserId	uuid	The id of the user who took it.
appliedByUserName	string | null	Their display name when they took it (a snapshot); null when it was not known.
note	string | null	Why the run is retained, as written by whoever retained it (at most 500 characters), or null.
inheritedFromProcessId	uuid | null	Null for the run’s own lease. Otherwise the run is kept because this ANCESTOR run is retained (a lease on a run keeps every run it started, at any depth); release that run instead — releasing it releases this one too.
inheritedFromProcessType	ProcessType| null	The kind of run inheritedFromProcessId is (an app run: only app runs start other runs).
