Remove all manual slices from the Simpler (Live 11+).
AI agents call clear_simpler_slices to permanently remove resources in Livepilot — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call clear_simpler_slices doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Livepilot is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
