DELETE/v2/strategies/{name}

By default, DELETE soft-deletes: the runner stops evaluating, but the strategy record and its positions remain queryable and individually closeable. This is the default because force-closing real positions on an accidental DELETE would be costly. Pass `?force=true` to soft-delete and force-close every open position belonging to this strategy in one call. Closed positions get `exit_reason: 'force_close'` and `shares_remaining: 0`.
