+### CL-055: TASK22260 next slice — document direct service signed/delete axios reduction
+
+date: 2026-03-25
+author: Cline
+scope: `actions/services/documentDirectService.js`
+type: change
+rationale: Execute next bounded risk-reduction slice by migrating remaining non-download document-service delete and signed-get helper calls away from direct axios response extraction to shared endpoint clients.
+impact: Further reduces duplicated axios boilerplate and aligns document service internals with shared request-client conventions while preserving existing hash/query and catch-path behavior.
+status: completed
+
+Summary:
+
+- Migrated signed hashed delete-helper flows from direct `axios({...}).then(res.data)` to `requestJson({...})`:
+    - `deleteAwaitingSubmissionsFromBlob`
+    - `deleteMyRepresentationsFromBlob`
+- Migrated delete helper GET calls from `axios.get(...).then(res.data)` to `getJson(...)`:
+    - `deleteBlob`
+    - `deleteRepBlob`
+- Preserved behavior contracts:
+    - unchanged query/hash composition and endpoint URLs
+    - unchanged catch-path logging with `consoleLogger`
+- Left `downloadBlob` unchanged in this slice (special-case behavior path retained for separate focused handling).
+
+Validation:
+
+- `npm run lint` -> warnings only (pre-existing `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`; no new lint errors)
+
+Follow-ups:
+
+- Optional next bounded slice: isolate and correct `downloadBlob` behavior in `documentDirectService` (including legacy `res` usage) behind an explicit, tested contract.
