**What this endpoint does:**
Removes a product from a task. This performs a soft delete - the product is marked as deleted but not permanently removed from the database. This preserves historical data for auditing and reporting purposes.

**Important notes:**
- Product must belong to the specified task
- This is a soft delete - the product record remains in the database with deletedAt timestamp set
- Deleted products are excluded from normal queries but can be accessed for historical purposes
- The original catalog product is not affected by this deletion
- Once deleted, the product cannot be restored through this API (requires database-level operation)

**What is returned:**
Returns success status.

**Permission requirements:**
Requires "manageProducts" permission on tasks and "api:write" scope.
