493 ## Decision 2026-11-07 (Tim t999u): a fresh render discards older unfinished builds of the same target

494

- When a **fresh** (not resumed) render of `<sex>-<settype>` starts, the unfinished `inprogress-*` folders of that same target are deleted, whether cancelled, failed or interrupted, before the new build folder is created. Only the newest build of a target is kept, and that is what **Hervatten** offers.

495

- The target is matched by the build's `render.json` sex/set, or by the folder-name suffix when `render.json` is unreadable.

496 - Never deleted:

497 - the finished `<sex>-<settype>-atlas/` result folder;

498 - builds of other targets;

499 - a build that is complete but not yet promoted (`recover` promotes it first);

500 - a locked build (another render is writing it).

501 - Resuming does not delete anything.

502 - The deletions are reported as progress steps.
