Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Add message deletion feature (CLI & GUI)

Introduce a message-deletion feature across CLI and GUI. Adds a new CLI command (deletemessages) with channel/before/after options and console progress. Extends DiscordClient with GetCurrentUserAsync and DeleteMessageAsync (including rate-limit handling) to perform deletions and surface authorization outcomes. GUI additions include DeleteSetup dialog, its ViewModel, view, and wiring: App registration, View/ViewModel managers, DashboardViewModel command, and a Delete button in the dashboard; deletion runs per-channel (parallel, with progress) and reports success/failure summaries.

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] Adapt DeleteMessagesCommand to upstream CliFx + PowerKit
 changes

Upstream replaced CliFx.Attributes with CliFx.Binding and now
requires command classes to be partial. Pipe() was also moved
from DiscordChatExporter.Core.Utils.Extensions to PowerKit.Extensions.

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Handle non-fatal exceptions in delete command

Import DiscordChatExporter.Core.Exceptions and switch from a generic catch to catching DiscordChatExporterException only when it's non-fatal (catch (DiscordChatExporterException ex) when (!ex.IsFatal)). This ensures fatal exceptions propagate while non-fatal errors are counted and reported. Also clarified the channel option description by removing the incorrect 'in DMs' note about deletions.

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Make rate-limit header parsing null-safe

Use ParseOrNull helpers for X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset-After header values and make the TimeSpan conversion null-safe. This prevents exceptions when rate-limit headers are missing or malformed and keeps resetAfterDelay nullable while preserving existing rate-limit logic.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Add deletion messages localization and usage

Introduce ErrorDeletingTitle and SuccessfulDeletionMessage localization entries across English, French, German, Spanish, and Ukrainian files and expose corresponding properties in LocalizationManager. Update DashboardViewModel to use these localized strings (SuccessfulDeletionMessage via string.Format and ErrorDeletingTitle) instead of hardcoded messages when notifying the user and showing error dialogs.

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] Add delete dialog localization and bindings

Introduce localized strings for the Delete setup (warning title/subtext, date/time tooltips and DELETE button) across English, French, German, Spanish and Ukrainian resource files. Expose new Delete* properties on LocalizationManager. Update DeleteSetupViewModel to accept and expose a LocalizationManager instance for data-binding. Replace hard-coded texts in DeleteSetupView.axaml with bindings to LocalizationManager (warning text, tooltips, labels and buttons) so the delete dialog uses localized content.
