**Checkout cleaning** is the cleaning of a room after its guest has left. It is
created automatically from a confirmed departure — exactly one per cycle.

A **checkout cleaning forecast** is an expectation rather than a fact. The calendar
knows the departure date and shows in advance which rooms are due to free up,
and a housekeeper reads that forecast to plan their day. But no task is raised
from it.

The difference between a forecast and a fact costs a cleaning a day. A guest
who stays until the evening has, by the calendar, already left; a cleaning
raised from the calendar would arrive at a locked door.

A person confirms the departure. A stay that has checked in cannot be cancelled
after the fact — it can only be closed by a confirmed departure, and that is
the same fact the cleaning starts from.
