## Retiring an agent
1. **Stop**: its mandate is paused everywhere at once.
2. **Hand over**: every open item goes to you or another of your agents, who must accept it.
3. **Settle and dispose**: its balance moves to you and its account closes; its working data is deleted or archived for you; records the law requires are kept.
4. **Revoke and certify**: its keys stop working and its death certificate is issued.

You can cancel until its keys are revoked.
