Description

If we want users to provide a subjectID so they can map it to their internal customer administration, a deactivation of a subject should not be permanent.
Currently it is not possible to recreate a DID for a subject with a disabled DID:

level=warning msg="CreateSubject failed" error="could not store DID documents: subject already exists" module=VDR operation=CreateSubject operationID=CreateSubject requestURI=/internal/vdr/v2/subject user="<nil>"

Research direction

Start by tracing the VDR CreateSubject operation and the storage path producing the “subject already exists” error, then inspect how deactivated DIDs are represented. Done means a subjectID can be used to create a new DID after its previous DID is deactivated, with a regression test covering that sequence.
