Delete Directory

Recursively delete a directory and all its contents. Missing paths are ignored by default (safe to call on a directory that may not exist). Enable 'Fail if missing' for audit-sensitive flows that must error when the path is absent. Refuses unsafe root paths (empty, /, , ., .., ~, drive roots like C:). Prefer this over RunPython('shutil.rmtree(...)') for temp-dir cleanup at the start or end of a workflow.
