DELETE /v1/templates/{id}

Requires confirm + Idempotency-Key. Local draft delete vs provider delete are separate. Provider delete is fail-closed unless enabled for your account. A template used by a campaign, a message or an automation is refused with 422 template_in_use; an Idempotency-Key reused for another template answers 409 idempotency_conflict.
