xarmian f76520f6e7 feat(cli,mcp): expose 'collection delete' via CLI and MCP catalog (TASK-1511) (#573)
* feat(cli,mcp): expose 'collection delete' via CLI and MCP catalog (TASK-1511)

Mirrors TASK-1510 (collection update). The HTTP handler at
handlers_collections.go::handleDeleteCollection already supported
DELETE on a collection (owner-only, soft-deletes the collection and
every item in it). Wires both agent-facing surfaces:

- internal/cli/client.go: new DeleteCollection client method.
- cmd/pad: new 'pad collection delete <slug>' Cobra subcommand
  (no --force; the help text is the confirmation contract).
- internal/mcp/catalog_collection: 'delete' action passes through
  to the CLI; tool description updated.
- internal/mcp/dispatch_http_routes: simple routeSpec entry for
  DELETE /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace}/collections/{slug}. No
  custom mapper needed — no body, no field coercion.

Pairs with TASK-1510 as the second adaptation primitive for the
/pad onboard playbook (TASK-1499): when the onboard interview
discovers a seeded collection that doesn't fit the project, the
agent now has a way to remove it before creating the right one.

Tests:
- TestRouteTable_CollectionDelete (route substitutes correctly)
- catalog_readonly bijection + liveCmdhelpDoc fake updated.

Parent: PLAN-1496.

* docs: correct collection delete contract per Codex review (round 1)

Two findings on PR #573 — both documentation, no code behavior change:

1. CLI Long help / Short blurb / MCP description claimed delete
   "removes seeded collections" and the onboard use case targets
   template-seeded collections. But store.DeleteCollection refuses
   any collection where is_default=true, and every template seed is
   is_default=true. The advertised use case wouldn't actually work.
   Updated docs to clarify: delete is for USER-CREATED collections;
   template seeds must be adapted via 'pad collection update'.

2. Both CLI help and MCP description claimed "AND every item in it"
   gets archived. The store delete path only sets collections.deleted_at
   and never touches items. The web UI hides them via the join, but
   raw API queries still surface them. Updated docs to be honest:
   items are NOT cascaded.

Captured the underlying behavior limitation as a follow-up: IDEA-1513
("Lift is_default restriction on collection delete or add a
cascade-items option") — surfaces options 1-4 for lifting the guard
plus the items-orphan issue.

* docs: tighten collection delete contract per Codex review (round 2)

Three P3 documentation-drift findings:

1. internal/cli/client.go::DeleteCollection Go doc still said "and
   all items in it" — missed it in round 1. Updated to describe the
   actual behavior (collections.deleted_at only; items orphaned with
   soft-deleted collection_id; is_default rejected).

2. CLI Long help and MCP description claimed restore is available
   "via the API," but there is no restore endpoint and no
   RestoreCollection client method. Recovery is database-backup only.
   Both docs updated.

3. catalog_collection.go:33 slug ParamDef only mentioned action=update;
   action=delete needs it too. And the headline description still
   said "list, create, and update" — three actions when there are
   now four. Both fixed.

* docs: update pad_collection action lists in instructions.md + README (round 3)

Codex round 3 finding: two top-level reference docs still advertised
pad_collection as list/create only. internal/mcp/instructions.md is
embedded into the MCP initialize() handshake instructions — stale
guidance there means MCP clients miss update/delete entirely. README's
catalog table had the same drift.
