Overview

Delete a subject type. The record is soft-deleted and stops appearing in reads. The call is idempotent: deleting the same subject type again also returns 204. The organization's default subject type cannot be deleted; make another one the default first. A subject type that experiments, exposure SQL models, metric SQL models or protocols still reference cannot be deleted either; the refusal names the blockers.
