The default LLM Wiki space cannot be archived.

Error message

The default LLM Wiki space cannot be archived.

What it means

Thrown by updateSpace when the resolved space is the default space (slug === DEFAULT_SPACE_SLUG) and the caller tries to set its status to 'archived'. The default space is required infrastructure and cannot be archived via the update path.

Solutions

1. Exclude the default space from archive operations.
2. If you need to disable ingestion on the default space, disable the ingestion profile instead of archiving the space.
3. Skip status updates for slug === 'default'.

Example fix

// before
for (const s of spaces) {
  await updateSpace(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug: s.slug, status: "archived" });
}

// after
for (const s of spaces) {
  if (s.slug === DEFAULT_SPACE_SLUG) continue;
  await updateSpace(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug: s.slug, status: "archived" });
}

function assertNotArchivingDefault(slug, status) {
  if (slug === "default" && status === "archived") {
    throw new Error("The default LLM Wiki space cannot be archived.");
  }
}

function isArchiveDefaultViolation(slug, status) {
  return slug === "default" && status === "archived";
}

try {
  await updateSpace(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug, status });
} catch (err) {
  if (/default LLM Wiki space cannot be archived/.test(err.message)) {
    // disable ingestion instead
    return updatePaperclipIngestionProfile(ctx, { companyId, spaceSlug, profile: { ...profile, enabled: false } });
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling updateSpace on the default space with status: 'archived'.

Common situations: Bulk-archiving all spaces without excluding the default; UI 'archive all' action; script treating every space uniformly.
