docs(api): deleted-annotation history + KOReader deletion propagation
New media-items/deleted_annotations.md for the list/restore/purge
endpoints; endpoint index updated. The KOReader protocol page documents
deleted_highlights/deleted_bookmarks on the progress push and the
deletion-propagation contract: keys learned only from server pulls,
explicit arrays only (never absence), tombstone convergence via the
metadata fetch, no resurrection from stale replays, and the web history
as the restore path.

# Deleted Annotations History
List, restore, or permanently delete tombstoned annotations (highlights,
notes, bookmarks) for a book. Deletions — from the web or propagated from a
synced device — are soft-deleted and retained for the sync retention window
(default 30 days), powering the book page's "Recently deleted" list. A
restore returns the row to the active set on every synced device; a purge
removes it immediately and irreversibly.
All endpoints require user JWT authentication and operate only on the
caller's own annotations.
## List Deleted Annotations
**Endpoint**: `GET /api/media-items/:id/annotations/deleted`
Returns tombstoned annotations for the book, newest deletion first.
### Response (200 OK)
```json
{
"deleted_annotations": [
{
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"annotation_type": "highlight",
"display_text": "the chosen text",
"secondary_text": "user note",
"color": "#ffd54f",
"deleted_at": "2026-08-22T15:04:05Z",
"created_at": "2026-08-01T10:00:00Z"
}
],
"total": 1
}
```
| Field | Description |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| annotation_type | `highlight`, `note`, or `bookmark` |
| display_text | Highlighted text / note content / bookmark title |
| secondary_text | Note text (highlights) or notes field (bookmarks) |
## Restore Deleted Annotation
**Endpoint**: `POST /api/media-items/:id/annotations/:annotationId/restore`
Body (or query param) `annotation_type` must be `highlight`, `note`, or
`bookmark`. Clears the tombstone; the annotation reappears in the active
set and re-syncs to devices on their next pull.
```json
{ "annotation_type": "highlight" }
```
### Response (200 OK)
```json
{ "restored": true }
```
404 when no matching *deleted* annotation exists for this user and book.
## Permanently Delete Annotation
**Endpoint**: `DELETE /api/media-items/:id/annotations/:annotationId?annotation_type=highlight|note|bookmark`
Removes the tombstoned row from the history immediately. Irreversible —
unlike the tombstone itself, which is restorable until the retention window
lapses and the daily maintenance sweep purges it.
### Response (200 OK)
```json
{ "purged": true }
```
## Error Responses
| Code | Description |
| ---- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| 400 | Invalid IDs or missing/unknown `annotation_type` |
| 401 | Not authenticated |
| 404 | No matching deleted annotation |
