add contact deletion and data export for GDPR compliance - #426
Merged
Conversation
First part of GDPR support (#244): the right to erasure and the right to access. - DELETE /api/v1/contacts/{id} permanently deletes a contact or visitor. Conversations, messages, notes, and participants go with it via DB cascades. The avatar file is removed too. - GET /api/v1/contacts/{id}/export downloads a JSON file with everything stored about the contact: profile, custom attributes, and all conversations with their messages. Private notes stay internal. - Both actions are gated by new permissions (contacts:delete, contacts:export), granted to Admin in migration v2.6.0, and recorded in the activity log with actor and IP. - Contact page gets Export data and Delete contact buttons, with a confirm dialog for delete. - The unlinked media cleaner now also removes attachment files whose message no longer exists. Before this, deleting a conversation left its attachments on disk forever.

Put the block, export, and delete contact actions behind a single "more" dropdown menu on the contact detail page instead of a row of buttons. Pull the blob-download logic (create link, click, revoke url) and the blob error parsing out of the export and transcript handlers into two shared helpers in utils/file.js so both call sites reuse them. Also let the vite dev server read its API, websocket, and port targets from env vars so a second instance can run side by side.
Address CodeRabbit review on PR #426. Log the error when deleting a contact's avatar file fails so a leftover avatar (personal data) does not go unnoticed. Add availability_status, last_active_at, last_login_at, and enabled to the contact data export since these are personal data under GDPR right to access.
