+# Soft Deletion Commit Fix
+
+## Issue Description
+
+The soft deletion functionality for shots and assets was not properly setting the `deleted_by` and `deleted_at` fields in the database. This was happening because the soft deletion services were using `db.flush()` to send SQL statements to the database but were not calling `db.commit()` to actually commit the transaction.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The issue was in the following services and their corresponding router endpoints:
+
+1. **ShotSoftDeletionService** (`backend/services/shot_soft_deletion.py`)
+   - Method: `soft_delete_shot_cascade()`
+   - Used `db.flush()` but no `db.commit()`
+
+2. **AssetSoftDeletionService** (`backend/services/asset_soft_deletion.py`)
+   - Method: `soft_delete_asset_cascade()`
+   - Used `db.flush()` but no `db.commit()`
+
+3. **RecoveryService** (`backend/services/recovery_service.py`)
+   - Methods: `recover_shot()`, `recover_asset()`, `bulk_recover_shots()`, `bulk_recover_assets()`
+   - Used `db.flush()` but no `db.commit()`
+
+4. **BatchOperationsService** (`backend/services/batch_operations.py`)
+   - Methods: `batch_delete_shots()`, `batch_delete_assets()`, `batch_recover_shots()`, `batch_recover_assets()`
+   - Used `db.flush()` but no `db.commit()`
+
+## The Difference Between flush() and commit()
+
+- `db.flush()`: Sends pending SQL statements to the database within the current transaction, but doesn't commit the transaction
+- `db.commit()`: Actually commits the transaction, making the changes permanent in the database
+
+Without `db.commit()`, the changes were only visible within the current transaction and would be lost when the transaction ended.
+
+## Files Fixed
+
+### Router Endpoints (Added db.commit() calls):
+
+1. **backend/routers/shots.py**
+   - `delete_shot()` endpoint - Added commit after successful soft deletion
+
+2. **backend/routers/assets.py**
+   - `delete_asset()` endpoint - Added commit after successful soft deletion
+
+3. **backend/routers/admin.py**
+   - `recover_shot()` endpoint - Added commit after successful recovery
+   - `recover_asset()` endpoint - Added commit after successful recovery
+   - `bulk_recover_shots()` endpoint - Added commit after successful bulk recovery
+   - `bulk_recover_assets()` endpoint - Added commit after successful bulk recovery
+   - `batch_delete_shots()` endpoint - Added commit after successful batch deletion
+   - `batch_delete_assets()` endpoint - Added commit after successful batch deletion
+   - `batch_recover_shots_enhanced()` endpoint - Added commit after successful batch recovery
+   - `batch_recover_assets_enhanced()` endpoint - Added commit after successful batch recovery
+
+### Pattern Applied:
+
+```python
+# Before (incorrect):
+result = service.soft_delete_shot_cascade(shot_id, db, current_user)
+
+if not result.success:
+    raise HTTPException(...)
+
+return response_data
+
+# After (correct):
+result = service.soft_delete_shot_cascade(shot_id, db, current_user)
+
+if not result.success:
+    db.rollback()  # Also added rollback on failure
+    raise HTTPException(...)
+
+# Commit the transaction
+db.commit()
+
+return response_data
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Created `backend/test_shot_deletion_fix.py` to verify the fix works correctly. The test confirms that both `deleted_at` and `deleted_by` fields are now properly set when performing soft deletion operations.
+
+## Impact
+
+This fix ensures that:
+
+1. Soft deletion operations properly set `deleted_by` and `deleted_at` fields
+2. Recovery operations properly clear these fields
+3. Batch operations work correctly
+4. Database transactions are properly committed
+5. Failed operations are properly rolled back
+
+## Prevention
+
+To prevent similar issues in the future:
+
+1. Always pair `db.flush()` with `db.commit()` in router endpoints
+2. Add `db.rollback()` calls in error handling
+3. Consider adding database transaction tests to verify commits work correctly
+4. Review all service methods that modify database state to ensure proper transaction handling
