Allow explicit manual catalog metadata cleanup
An administrator may explicitly clear structural projections from the Metadata Catalog without changing the Workspace Database, its binding, or its secrets. A database selection can remove all Catalog Tables, cascading their Catalog Columns and Catalog Relationships, or remove only its Catalog Relationships; a table selection can remove its Catalog Columns or every incoming and outgoing Catalog Relationship. Each selection is atomic, and a later Schema Synchronization can rebuild the removed projection from the external schema.
This supersedes ADR-0005's broader invariant that physical membership cannot be edited manually. Synchronization remains authoritative when it runs, while manual cleanup intentionally permits an incomplete catalog between cleanup and the next successful synchronization.
