Why does this show up in my org agenda today, even though it's marked
"DONE"?

Today is 2022-03-24 Thu. The following is marked DONE, but it still
shows up today in the agenda.  It does have the font face `org-agenda-
done`.  Maybe this is the expected behavior?  I'm not sure, because
other tasks disappear when I mark them done.

    ** DONE [#B] Touch goal +1 gym habit. Sooner is better, Mon, Tue,
Wed
    DEADLINE: <2022-03-24 Thu> SCHEDULED: <2022-03-21 Mon>
    :LOGBOOK:
    - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2022-03-24 Thu 02:30]
    :END:

Done items always show up in my agenda, unless you make a specific
agenda command that ignores todos with the DONE state

I have this in my init.el

    ;; dont' show done tasks in agenda view
    (setq org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t)
    (setq org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t)

That fixed it, thanks!  But it's strange that my system was, in fact,
removing the DONE scheduled agenda items, even though `org-agenda-
skip-scheduled-if-done` was `nil`.  But in any case, problem solved,
thanks again!

Glad it’s working!

I can’t answer why it was working the way it was. I’m far from an
expert. I just poke my init file until it does what I want.

It turns out I was just confused. Most of my goals are repeated, which
obviously vanished when I marked them done.  Non-repeated goals,
SCHEDULED and DEADLINE, both stuck around in the agenda when marked
done, as expected.
