#### Errors

- **AuthRequired**: The request has no valid service auth.
- **Forbidden**: The requesting user lacks the thread.manage permission.
- **ThreadNotFound**: No thread matches the given space reference.
- **CredentialsUnavailable**: The AppView cannot act as the community because its stored credentials are missing or unusable.
- **PdsUnavailable**: The community's PDS is unreachable or the AppView has no administrative access to it.
- **UpstreamFailure**: The community's PDS failed while deleting the thread's space.
