@@ -641,5 +641,6 @@ Added:
 - Hardened the existing dry-run-first demo export cleanup command with a `--max-delete` safety cap.
 - Added repeated `--export-type` filters so operators can clean only selected artifact kinds.
 - Cleanup apply runs now report a `blocked_reason` instead of deleting when selected candidates exceed the cap.
+- Dry-run output now includes `candidate_exports` with export ids so duplicate storage paths remain auditable.
 - Updated root and backend cleanup entrypoints, docs and regression coverage.
 - No API contracts, migrations, product capabilities, live provider fetching or AI/model dependency changes were introduced.

 - Hardened the existing dry-run-first demo export cleanup command instead of creating a parallel cleanup path.
 - Added `--max-delete` with a default cap of 25 so large `--apply` runs are blocked until explicitly reviewed and raised.
 - Added repeatable `--export-type` filters for targeted cleanup, e.g. reports only.
-- Extended the cleanup summary with `keep_latest`, `max_delete`, `export_types`, `type_filtered_export_count` and `blocked_reason`.
+- Extended the cleanup summary with `keep_latest`, `max_delete`, `export_types`, `type_filtered_export_count`, `candidate_exports` and `blocked_reason`.
 - Updated the root wrapper to expose the new filter helper.
 - Updated `scripts/README.md`, `docs/STORAGE_ARCHITECTURE.md`, `backend/README.md`, `docs/TODO.md` and `CHANGELOG.md`.
 - Added regression coverage for export-type filtering, parser defaults and max-delete options.

 Tested:
 - `python -m py_compile scripts/cleanup_demo_artifacts.py backend/scripts/cleanup_demo_artifacts.py`
 - `cd backend && python -m pytest tests/test_sprint24_cleanup_demo_artifacts.py tests/test_readiness_gate.py -q` (`16 passed`)
+- Tower dry-run command passed without deleting data:
+  `docker exec geointel /opt/geointel/venv/bin/python /app/scripts/cleanup_demo_artifacts.py --keep-latest 10 --max-delete 100 --export-type project_report_html`
+- Tower dry-run reported `matched_export_count=51`, `type_filtered_export_count=17`, `selected_export_count=7`, `deleted_export_count=0`.
 
 Open:
-- Run full readiness, deploy Tower and optionally perform a live cleanup dry run inside the all-in-one container before using `--apply`.
+- Run full readiness and redeploy Tower with the clearer `candidate_exports` dry-run output.
 
 Limitations:
 - Cleanup still targets demo export records/files only. It does not delete source uploads, vector features, projects, AOIs, QA/QC records, rasters, tiles, masks or production data.
