gbrain 0.44 with several sources (here `default` and `obsidian`). `gbrain get <slug>` found a page, but `gbrain delete <slug>` returned `Error [page_not_found]`, and the MCP delete_page/get_page tools also said not found. Cause: delete (and the MCP server) resolve one source (from --source / GBRAIN_SOURCE / .gbrain-source / path match / brain default), while the page lived in another source. Check with `gbrain get <slug> --source <name>` for each name in `gbrain sources list --timeout=60s`, then `gbrain delete <slug> --source <name>`. In a bulk loop, check each result for `soft_deleted` instead of discarding output: my first loop silently deleted nothing. Bulk deletes also hit intermittent failures that succeed on retry, so retry the failures.
