How do I safely delete notes from a notes database without leaving orphaned index entries?▼

Deleting notes requires an explicit confirmation step to prevent accidental data loss. The workflow validates configuration, resolves the notes_path, locates the target note in the index, and prompts for confirmation before removing the file and updating the index.
