END RESOLVED CHATSlet chat expire

Move lasting tasks, dates, and decisions out of chat, then let resolved conversations expire.

Chat mixes lasting information with residue. A date, a task, a decision, or a photo has somewhere else to live. A concluded conversation can leave the stream.

Move what must last into a journal, task list, or calendar. Then let the resolved conversation expire according to a retention rule you can keep.
