Just checking: Is the policy on the admin to soft-delete via the paranoia gem, but never to restore, only create new clones of deleted items? (Context: I’m working on a process to control product data from another system; the current approach is to import changes; keeping the behavior as close to default solidus seems like a good idea.)

To my knowledge it's not a policy. There just aren't interfaces for undeleting things.

@Jared Norman, thank you for the insight!

Also JFYI, Paranoia gem is deprecated for solidus and won't be present in Solidus 3, as per my knowledge.
