Account deletion erases a staged chat table on whichever side writes it now (ADR-033, C-04): Live while chat-tables.authority() is live, and its capture relays the delete to Chat's copy; Chat once Chat writes the table (OpenVibe.Chat a2d100d gates on table_authority), and its mirror relays it back. Before, Live always left the staged tables to Chat, which leaves them to Live while Live writes them, so neither erased them. node test/account-data.test.js, chat-tables-writers.
