## Path parameters

- `id` integer, required
- `step_id` integer, required

## Query parameters

- `mode` 'nodeOnly' | 'nodeAndAllChildren' | 'nodeAndPositiveChildren' | 'nodeAndNegativeChildren'

## Response `204`

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid id parameters, or a business-rule rejection.
- `401` — Unauthorized. The response body is empty; check the `WWW-Authenticate` header for the expected scheme.

- `404` — Step not found
- `409` — Step is locked or has children that prevent deletion
