  title: DataHub Decommission a Dataset
  summary: Confirm a dataset, check it has no downstream dependents, then soft delete it from the metadata graph.
  description: >-
    Safely retiring a dataset requires checking that nothing depends on it
    first. This workflow confirms the dataset exists, queries the relationship
    graph for outgoing DownstreamOf edges to detect any downstream dependents,
    and branches: when downstream dependents are found it stops, and when none are
    found it performs a soft delete that marks the entity as removed while
    preserving its metadata. Every step spells out its request inline so the flow
    can be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
