Conversation
Consolidates docs updates for langchain-ai/deepagents#3659, #3691, and #3851, which added a Python-only `delete` tool (backends optionally implement delete/adelete) and later extended it to remove directories recursively, renaming it from `delete_file` to `delete`.

Add `delete` as a row in the overview tool table instead of a prose aside, and drop the "in Python" qualifier on sandbox pages since it read awkwardly alongside the other filesystem tools. Co-authored-by: open-swe[bot] <open-swe@users.noreply.github.com>
Replace inline 'Python also includes delete'/'in Python, delete' phrasing with :::python / :::js fenced sections so the delete tool only renders on Python pages, matching the pattern already used elsewhere (permissions.mdx, backends.mdx).

Description
Depends on: langchain-ai/deepagents #3659, #3691 #3851
Updates the built-in tool lists and tables across the Deep Agents docs (overview, permissions, backends, sandboxes, context engineering, CLI overview, and frontend sandbox pattern), and renames
delete_filetodeletein the Python human-in-the-loop examples.JS-specific content is intentionally left unchanged, as the deepagents JS SDK does not yet support the delete tool. Python-only code fences are used so these changes appear only in the Python documentation.
