AKAVA MEDIA FINDER · v1.3.0
Do not delete a file because one query failed to find it.
Media Finder builds a persistent dependency index before replacement, migration or cleanup. It separates confirmed references, missing files, external assets and unregistered uploads, then keeps destructive actions recoverable.

THE SAFETY RULE
“No stored references” is a review state, not permission to delete.
A theme can construct a URL, an external service can inject an asset, a cache can hold stale metadata and a custom field can hide data inside serialized or JSON structures. The interface must show what was checked and what remains uncertain.

WORKFLOW
Inventory before inference. Evidence before action.
- A1
Inventory
Map Media Library records and physical files without assuming they are the same set.
- B2
Index references
Inspect content, excerpts, featured images, blocks, metadata, serialized data, JSON, options and object fields.
- C3
Review evidence
Show active links to the object and exact source instead of burying the clue in a raw URL column.
- D4
Quarantine
Move reviewed candidates into a recoverable state before permanent deletion.
