## Concepts

- If an object is under legal hold, it cannot be deleted unless the legal hold is explicitly removed for the respective version id. DeleteObjectVersion() would fail otherwise.
- In `Compliance` mode, objects cannot be deleted by anyone until retention period has expired for the given version id. If user has governance bypass permissions, an object's retention date can be extended in `Compliance` mode.

```json
{
    "reason": <string>
}
```

The reason message is returned to the client.

## Example Plugin Implementation

    steps:
      - uses: dessant/lock-threads@v3
        with:
          github-token: ${{ github.token }}
          issue-inactive-days: '365'
          exclude-any-issue-labels: 'do-not-close'
          issue-lock-reason: 'resolved'
