Ghost bucket blocking migration: stackable-envelope remains stuck in corrupted state

Description:

I'm attempting to migrate/transfer my project, but a ghost bucket named stackable-envelope is blocking the process and persists despite multiple deletion attempts.

Issue:

The bucket stackable-envelope appears in the production environment UI but is in a corrupted/locked state

I already deleted all the buckets, but they are still showing up.

Attempts to delete it fail repeatedly

Attempts to modify it show the error: "The bucket's region cannot be changed after it was created"

This error prevents me from completing my bucket transfer/migration workflow

The bucket is not detected by Railway's resource search tools, indicating it's in an inconsistent database state (ghost/phantom resource)

Context:

Project ID: 07e26248-0b61-46d8-8d8b-55c16c5d9a06

Environment: production (60b9a898-54c6-4a74-a974-68e7a76d77cf)

Bucket name: stackable-envelope

Status: appears in UI but cannot be modified or deleted

Request: The bucket is stuck at the database level and requires backend cleanup. Please remove this ghost bucket so I can proceed with my bucket migration/transfer.

The bucket stackable-envelope is not corrupted. It was deleted and is currently inside a scheduled destruction window, which is why it still appears in the project and blocks the transfer. All of the buckets in this project (stackable-envelope, stashed-toolchest, versatile-trunk, and allocated-toybox) are in the same state. They will be permanently removed and free their slots by September 13, 2026 at the latest. Once the last one clears, the Transfer Project dialog will no longer list any buckets and the transfer will proceed. There is no way to accelerate the removal, so the transfer will need to wait until then.

We'll also make that copy more informative about deleted buckets.

Edit: New dynamic copy is live.
