MCP/client: bulk delete notes — DELETE_NOTE accepts many ids in one call

Live-verified on a scratch notebook: DELETE_NOTE is batch-capable and unexposed. Companion to #1995 (bulk source delete).
Verified wire shape
Single (_note_service.py:447) is [nb_id, None, [note_id]]; the id slot takes a list:
params = [notebook_id, None, [id1, id2, id3]]✅ 3 notes deleted in one call.
Proposal
- Client:
notes.delete(nb_id, ids: str | list[str])(mirrorlabels.delete, which already acceptsstr | list[str]). - MCP: plural mode on the note-delete surface, structured aggregate
{deleted, not_found}. not_foundfrom up-front resolution — the backend silently no-ops unknown ids (same as DELETE_SOURCE, #1995).- Lower priority than bulk add/delete-source, but the shape is confirmed.
Notes
- New
_idempotency_policy.pyclient-token slot (mirrors batchDELETE_LABEL). - Mind maps are note-backed — ensure the plural path doesn't fold interactive maps in unintentionally.
