Delete a leaderboard

DELETE
/leaderboards/{leaderboardID}
Deletes a leaderboard in the API-key's community and returns the deleted ID.
Use this to permanently remove a leaderboard (e.g. cleanup after a campaign ends, or rolling back a mistakenly created leaderboard).
Authentication:
Bearer API key in Authorization header
API key must have the leaderboard permission
Community is resolved from the API key token — do not pass communityID
Returns 401 if the key is missing, invalid, or lacks the required permission
Side effects:
Removes the leaderboard document from the gamification service
Publishes the delete:leaderboard pub/sub event; the gamification service processes it and performs the DB delete
Returns 502 if the upstream gamification service is unreachable or the publisher times out
Rate limits:
Standard API rate limits apply
Constraints:
leaderboardID must be a valid Mongo ObjectId or string ID
Returns 404 if the leaderboard does not exist in this community
Deletion is permanent — no soft-delete or undo
Related endpoints:
GET /leaderboards — list leaderboards
GET /leaderboards/{leaderboardID} — read a single leaderboard
POST /leaderboards — create a leaderboard
PATCH /leaderboards/{leaderboardID} — update a leaderboard
