question: Why can I not delete someone?
also:
- remove a staff member
- delete a till account
- deactivate instead of delete
area: people
source: 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.
