Subject: feat: add delete_prompt built-in meta-prompt
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a third built-in meta-prompt for interactively deleting custom prompts
with confirmation. This completes the prompt management trilogy (save, update,
delete).

Changes:
- Add delete_prompt meta-prompt with prompt_name argument
- Interactive workflow: show prompt → confirm → delete via delete_prompt tool
- Update test to expect 3 built-in prompts (was 2)
- Includes safety notes about built-in prompts and backups

The meta-prompt ensures users see what they're deleting and must explicitly
confirm before the delete_prompt tool is called.
