Summary

There is currently no way to delete or unpublish a cross-posted item from the remote platform. The MokoSuiteCrossServiceInterface only defines publish() — there is no deletePost() or unpublish() method.

When a user unpublishes or trashes a Joomla article, the cross-posted content remains live on all platforms.

Proposed changes

1. Add `deletePost()` to the service interface

// MokoSuiteCrossServiceInterface.php
public function deletePost(string $platformPostId, array $credentials): array;
// Returns: ['success' => bool, 'message' => string]

2. Implement in service plugins

Not all platforms support deletion — the interface method should have a default "not supported" response, and each plugin can override where the API allows it:

Platform	Supports delete?	API
Facebook	Yes	DELETE /{post-id}
Twitter/X	Yes	DELETE /2/tweets/{id}
LinkedIn	Yes	DELETE /ugcPosts/{id}
Mastodon	Yes	DELETE /api/v1/statuses/{id}
Bluesky	Yes	com.atproto.repo.deleteRecord
Telegram	Yes	deleteMessage
Discord	Yes	DELETE webhook message
Medium	No	API doesn't support
WordPress	Yes	PUT /wp/v2/posts/{id} status=trash
Dev.to	Yes	DELETE /api/articles/{id}
Mailchimp	N/A	Campaign-based

3. Hook into Joomla content events

onContentChangeState (unpublish) → optionally delete from platforms
onContentAfterDelete (trash/delete) → optionally delete from platforms
Component config toggle: "Delete from platforms when article is unpublished/trashed"

4. UI additions

"Delete from platform" button per post in the Post Queue view
Bulk "Delete from platforms" action

Acceptance Criteria

deletePost() method added to interface with default "not supported" return
Implemented for platforms that support deletion
Config option to auto-delete on article unpublish/trash
Manual delete button in Post Queue UI
Logs record deletion attempts and results
