django-delete-guard 0.1.1

Blocks dangerous Django ORM QuerySet.delete() calls in production.

django-delete-guard (DeleteGuard)

Blocks dangerous Django ORM deletes in production — before they happen.

Backups and alerts are too late.
This stops risky QuerySet.delete() calls at execution time, unless the developer explicitly opts in.

---

Why this exists

If you’ve ever:

• wiped production with a bad .delete()
• underestimated cascade deletes
• run a “quick cleanup” script in prod
• trusted migrations too much

…this is for you.

Most catastrophic data loss is valid code with invalid intent.
Django makes bulk deletes deceptively easy. This guard makes them explicit.

---

What it does (V1)

In production only (APP_ENV=production|prod), it blocks:

• ❌ Unfiltered deletes
  Model.objects.all().delete()

• ❌ Bulk deletes over 100 rows

Unless you explicitly override with intent.

Everything else works normally.
