Soft Delete vs Permanent Delete

By default, delete performs a soft delete:

• The secret is renamed with a _deleted_/ prefix
• It's hidden from normal list output
• It can be recovered with vaultuner restore

With --permanent, the secret is permanently removed from Bitwarden and cannot be recovered.

Warning

Permanent deletes cannot be undone. Use with caution.
