Deletes a comment, recounts the comments on its post and hands any attached media to the media cleanup hook.

The comment must belong to the post named in the path. The post comments_count is recalculated from the table rather than decremented, and the post updated_at is deliberately left untouched.

Endpoint

• Method: DELETE

• Path: /feeds/{feed_id}/comments/{comment_id}

• Edition: Core

• Controller: CommentsController@deleteComment

• Route source: fluent-community/app/Http/Routes/api.php:57

• Controller source: fluent-community/app/Http/Controllers/CommentsController.php

• The comment author can always delete; anyone else needs the delete_any_comment permission in the space.

• Destructive: the comment row is removed outright, and replies to it are orphaned rather than deleted.
