The --cascade flag was documented but not working for single-issue
deletes. The bug had two causes:
1. CLI direct mode: Single-issue deletes bypassed the batch path where
cascade expansion actually happens. Fixed by routing cascade deletes
through deleteBatch() regardless of issue count.
2. Daemon/RPC mode: handleDelete() iterated through IDs individually
without expanding dependents. Fixed by using DeleteIssues() with
cascade flag when SQLite storage is available.
Now `bd delete <id> --cascade --force` correctly deletes the target
issue plus all issues that depend on it (recursively).
