Problem

Can append and load but never clean up. Long-running systems need stream archival, tombstoning, or deletion for GDPR compliance. The gdpr/ package uses crypto but doesnt support actual deletion.

Fix

Add Delete(ctx, streamID) to EventStore interface (or as separate interface)
Archive: move old events to cold storage
Tombstone: mark stream as deleted, reject future appends
GDPR: hard delete with audit trail

Acceptance

Delete method on stores
Tombstone support
All store implementations
Tests for delete + tombstone + re-creation guard
