Validate a payment delete (dry run)
Checks whether a payment could be deleted, without deleting it.
Runs the first checks of DELETE /v1/payment/{paymentID} — the payment exists and has a project, the caller has access, the contract model allows deleting payments, and the instalment is not booked, on a draft invoice or carrying auto expenses on a draft invoice — and answers 200 with null.
Use it to:
- Ask before offering 'delete instalment' in a billing-plan UI
Not for:
- Deleting →
DELETE /v1/payment/{paymentID}
Behaviour:
- Idempotent.
- Safe to retry.
- Changes are visible to the next read immediately.
Call first: GET /v1/payment
Next: DELETE /v1/payment/{paymentID}

OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. JWT and reference tokens are both accepted. The token must carry the required scope (default tlp).
The token's sub claim is the acting user. A token WITHOUT sub (client-credentials) acts as the system service user. If the sub user cannot log in (inactive, locked, deleted), the request is rejected with 401 — it is no longer let through without a user.
