| `stepLocked` | Step cannot be deleted |
| `stepLockedHasChildren` | Step has children that prevent deletion |

- object

## Other responses

- `400` — Body validation failure, or a business-rule rejection.
- `401` — Unauthorized. The response body is empty; check the `WWW-Authenticate` header for the expected scheme.
- `403` — User lacks required feature scope to modify this sequence
- `409` — A step in the sequence is locked and blocks bulk deletion
