- * The "live parent" predicate for the document/artifact visibility gate
- * (VAL-CROSS-015). Documents and artifacts scoped to a task are surfaced in
- * live views only when their parent task is live: `deleted_at IS NULL` (not
- * soft-deleted) AND `column != 'archived'` (not archived). When the parent is
- * archived or soft-deleted, the rows are retained but filtered out of live
- * views — they remain for an unarchive/restore.
- *
- * This predicate is the join condition for `task_documents` / `artifacts` →
- * `tasks`. It is the async equivalent of the sync
- * `taskExists && taskExists.column !== 'archived'` check in
- * `upsertTaskDocument` and the `hasActiveTask` gate in `getTaskDocument`.
