DELETE https://api.craftkit.dev/v1/projects/{id}
Soft-delete a project. The row and everything under it (templates, renders, signature requests, API keys) is retained, but the project stops appearing in list and get, and every project-scoped call against it — including render and sign calls made with its ck_live_… keys — is rejected from that point on.
The slug is not freed. (userId, slug) is a non-partial unique index, so a soft-deleted project’s slug stays reserved for that account — POST /v1/projects with the same derived slug gets a numeric suffix instead of reusing it. This is intentional, documented behavior, not a bug.
