Move a collection to the organisation's trash (soft-delete)

## Usage

```bash
ktm collections delete <uid> [flags]
```

## Examples

```bash
ktm collections delete --operator my-op <uid>              # refuses without --yes
ktm collections delete --operator my-op --yes <uid>        # moves to trash
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Required |
| --- | --- |
| `uid` | Yes |

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--operator` | string |  | Operator slug (required) |
| `--yes` | boolean |  | Confirm irreversible delete |

## Details

Move the collection to the organisation's trash collection. The collection
and its items are recoverable until the trash is emptied (a separate admin
action). Despite the "delete" name this is NOT a hard delete.

The command still refuses without --yes because agents should confirm scope
before moving collections around.
