Web Repository Deletion Policy

How does the web repository connector decide when to delete documents?

I ran a job yesterday, and crawled/processed ~250 documents.  This
morning, I did a 'start minimal' on the job, and it proceeded to
delete all the documents it crawled yesterday.  The site appears to
have been experiencing issues when I restarted the job, but I was
surprised to see so much content deleted after one failed job run.

Here is the 'Simple History' from the job:

Hi Jim,

The minimal job run will delete documents that it discovers during the run
which it cannot load during the run.  It will not delete unreachable
documents, but that is not your case I think.
