Research direction

Start with the DELETE request in circles.ts and follow the trace through lib/FederatedItems/CircleDestroy.php, lib/Service/FederatedEventService.php, lib/Service/CircleService.php, and lib/Controller/LocalController.php. Reproduce deletion after removing a collective and inspect why the managed-by-another-app check returns HTTP 400. Done means the team can be deleted successfully in this scenario without the error.
