Research direction

Start by reproducing the assignment deletion through the GitHub Classroom CLI and capture the 406 response, then trace the deletion entry point and its GitHub Classroom API request. Done means a duplicated or non-functional assignment can be deleted or edited successfully without leaving an undeletable duplicate.
