## Definitions

### `lol.dids.manage.purge`

**Type**: `procedure`

Drop the domain's cached pointer and snapshot from every origin replica by broadcasting an invalidation. There is no shared HTTP cache to purge; this is an operator escape hatch for a suspected stale in-process cache, not part of the publish path. Rate-limited.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `paths` | `array` | No | Accepted and ignored: invalidation is whole-domain. |
| `domain` | `string` | Yes | The registered hostname. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `purged` | `boolean` | Yes |  |

#### Errors

- **DomainNotFound**: No registration for that domain belongs to the caller.
- **RateLimitExceeded**: Too many purge requests.
