Delete a draft

DELETE https://api.quorumtech.ch/attest/v1/drafts/{draftId}

Drop an uploaded draft.

Call this once the review is collected and the report is written. Drafts expire on their own after six hours, but a draft is unpublished writing, and there is no reason for it to stay resident a moment longer than the work needs.

Deleting a draft that is already gone returns deleted: false with a 200, so a retried cleanup never fails. Deleting a draft while its review is still running makes the review fail with inputs_deleted, so collect the result first.
