timeline_delete
Deletes a timeline item from a Fusion 360 design; set force to remove it even when dependent features would break.
Instructions
Delete a timeline item (feature, sketch, construction element; a group with its contents).
Without force the item is first suppressed as a probe: if other items fall into the error state, nothing is deleted and the call fails with INVALID_PARAMS and details.dependents. The probe recomputes the model (slow on big designs). Items that cannot be suppressed are deleted without the check (dependents_checked = false). With force=true new problems are reported in problems_after.
Returns {"deleted": {"name", "type"}, "dependents_checked", "problems_after": [item], "marker_position", "count"}.
Example: timeline_delete(item=).
