Fix HTTP DELETE endpoints to use query parameters

[Tim020]

Summary

• Fixed 8 HTTP DELETE endpoints that incorrectly used request body instead of query parameters
• Updated 9 frontend DELETE API calls to use URLSearchParams for query parameter construction
• Added explicit type validation with proper error handling for invalid IDs

Changes

Backend (6 files, 8 DELETE methods)

Controllers updated:

• acts.py - DELETE endpoint now uses query parameter
• cast.py - DELETE endpoint now uses query parameter
• characters.py - Both DELETE endpoints (Character and CharacterGroup) now use query parameters
• cues.py - Both DELETE endpoints (CueType and Cue) now use query parameters
  • Cue DELETE handles multi-parameter case (cueId + lineId)
• microphones.py - DELETE endpoint now uses query parameter
• scenes.py - DELETE endpoint now uses query parameter

Implementation:

• Changed from escape.json_decode(self.request.body) to self.get_argument("id", None)
• Added explicit int() conversion with try/except blocks
• Returns 400 error with "Invalid ID" message for non-numeric IDs

Frontend (2 files, 9 DELETE calls)

Files updated:

• show.js - 7 DELETE API calls
• script.js - 2 DELETE API calls (including multi-parameter DELETE_CUE)

Implementation:

• Uses URLSearchParams for query parameter construction
• Follows existing pattern from DELETE_SCRIPT_REVISION
• Removes request body from DELETE requests

Why This Matters

• HTTP Standards Compliance: DELETE requests should use query parameters, not request bodies
• Client Compatibility: Some HTTP clients and proxies strip bodies from DELETE requests
• Security: URLSearchParams automatically handles URL encoding
• Consistency: Matches existing pattern from issues Fix stage direction overrides DELETE endpoint to use query params #781 and Remove DELETE with body in delete script revision logic #762

Testing

• ✅ All 200 tests passing
• ✅ No regressions detected
• ✅ Existing DELETE tests already used query parameters

Deployment Notes

This is a breaking change - old clients will receive 400 errors when attempting DELETE operations.

• Deploy backend and frontend together in coordinated release
• Document in release notes/CHANGELOG
