Original PR and review history: #8651.

WHY are these changes introduced?

Fixes https://github.com/shop/issues-develop/issues/23692

Theme deletion needs machine-readable outcomes without losing successful deletions.

WHAT is this pull request doing?

Separate service data from presentation and add strict JSON results, cancellation objects and complete environment batches. Preserve successful deletions and item errors when deletion partly fails.

The public output follows docs/cli/json-output.md; explicitly named environments use one {environments: [...]} object.

How to manually test your changes?

shopify theme delete --theme <theme-id> --store example.myshopify.com --json
shopify theme delete --json-schema

Differences in type declarations

We detected differences in the type declarations generated by Typescript for this branch compared to the baseline ('main' branch). Please, review them to ensure they are backward-compatible. Here are some important things to keep in mind:

• Some seemingly private modules might be re-exported through public modules.
• If the branch is behind main you might see odd diffs, rebase main into this branch.
