Delete Taxonomy Block

post/extensions/roboledger/{graph_id}/operations/delete-taxonomy-block

Delete a taxonomy block and return a thin confirmation. cascade_facts=True also deletes Fact rows that reference the taxonomy's elements; default False fails the delete if such facts exist. Library-origin block types surface 501.

Idempotency: supply an Idempotency-Key header to make safe retries; replays within 24 hours return the same envelope. Reusing the key with a different body returns HTTP 409 Conflict.

Authentication

Authenticate in any one of these ways — not all of them:

API key in the X-API-Key header.
Bearer token in the Authorization header.
