-  # DECOMMISSIONED — being removed from this stack in two steps.
-  #
-  # seahaven-slack-bot was retired (superseded by sh-mcp) and this role was
-  # deleted directly in IAM on 2026-07-23, leaving the stack holding a resource
-  # that no longer exists. That ghost broke EVERY subsequent stack update: the
-  # Outputs section resolved !GetAtt SeahavenSlackBotDeployRole.Arn as a live
-  # IAM read, which 404s. A change-set does not reveal this, because the
-  # resource itself is unchanged and Outputs are not previewed.
-  #
-  # Step 1 (this change): drop the Output so updates stop resolving the ghost,
-  # and record Retain so that step 2 cannot issue DeleteRole against a role
-  # that is not there.
-  # Step 2 (follow-up): delete the resource block itself. With Retain recorded,
-  # CloudFormation simply stops managing it — no IAM call is made.
