Soft-delete a post
DELETE /posts/{id}
Removes the post from feed views. Member assets are not deleted (an asset may belong to multiple posts; storage pins are owned at the asset layer).
Accepts optional {reason} body captured
into deleted_reason for the admin recovery-window audit.

Section titled “Path Parameters ”Request Body
Section titled “Request Body ”Optional body on DELETE endpoints that soft-delete an entity.
The reason free-text string is captured verbatim into the
entity’s deleted_reason column so admin recovery-window
audits carry operator context.
The body itself is optional — a bare DELETE with no body is
still valid + writes deleted_reason = NULL. When present,
an empty-string reason is treated the same as missing.
object
Free-text explanation of why the entity was deleted. Max 500 characters; validated at the handler.
