Delete a comment (requires version) — leaves a tombstone
delete_commentDelete a comment (requires version) — leaves a tombstone.
The author or a project_admin may delete; an imported comment whose Jira author was not matched only a project_admin. The file stays with an empty body and deleted: true, so its seq and replies remain; the old text stays in history. Returns the tombstone.
Only when the user asked. The author or a project_admin may delete (403 not_author otherwise). Pass seq and version from list_comments. Leaves a tombstone: the body is emptied and deleted: true is set, so the seq, replies and links stay; the old text stays in history. 409 comment_deleted = already deleted.
WRITE: version must be the version from your latest read of this file (get_issue for issues, list_comments for comments, list_sprints for sprints, get_doc for project docs, read_file for md files). If the file changed since, the call fails with 409 version_conflict and the error contains the current file (details.current, details.current_version): re-read it, re-apply your change on top of the current content and retry with the new version. Never overwrite someone else's change blindly — if your change and theirs disagree, ask the user which to keep.
You act with exactly the rights of the user who owns this token; a project you cannot see returns not_found.
