no such Retention policy with id

Error message

no such Retention policy with id %v

What it means

Not-found mapping in DefaultManager.GetPolicy: when the DAO returns orm.ErrNoRows for the requested policy ID, it is translated into this explicit 'no such Retention policy' error so callers do not see a raw ORM sentinel. It fires whenever the ID does not exist in the retention policy table (deleted, never created, or wrong ID).

Solutions

1. Verify the policy ID via the retention API list endpoint before fetching it individually
2. Confirm the policy was not deleted by another user or a concurrent operation
3. Treat this error as a 404 condition in API layers and surface it as not-found to the client

When it happens
