Why can I not delete someone?	remove a staff member delete a till account deactivate instead of delete	people	src/api/people.ts

The console deliberately offers no delete for people, for either kind of account. The backend's delete is a hard delete with nothing cascading from it, so removing somebody would leave their past work pointing at an account that no longer exists.

Deactivating is the safe equivalent and is what both lists offer. A deactivated account cannot sign in, and everything it did before stays readable.
