Delete a project documentation node

Soft deletes a project documentation page or folder subtree after explicit confirmation. Deleted nodes no longer accept reads or writes.

Deletion behavior:

Call the delete-preview endpoint first to show active page and folder counts
Pass confirmed=true and the unchanged previewToken to delete the complete subtree atomically
A changed subtree returns HTTP 409. Get a new preview before retrying
Deleted nodes disappear from list, tree, detail, and update operations
Data remains soft-deleted for recovery or audit purposes
