Deletion and Archive Sync

The plugin now properly distinguishes between deleted and archived bookmarks in Karakeep:

Deleted Bookmarks

When "Sync deletions" is enabled, the plugin detects bookmarks that have been completely deleted from Karakeep and handles them according to your "Deletion action" setting:

1. Delete file: Permanently removes the markdown file from your vault
2. Move to archive folder: Moves the file to a specified archive folder (useful for keeping a backup)
3. Add deletion tag: Adds a tag to the file's frontmatter to mark it as deleted (useful for manual review)

Archived Bookmarks

When "Handle archived bookmarks" is enabled, the plugin separately handles bookmarks that are archived (but not deleted) in Karakeep:

1. Do nothing: Leaves the file unchanged (useful if you want to keep archived bookmarks in Obsidian)
2. Delete file: Removes the file from your vault
3. Move to archive folder: Moves the file to a specified archive folder
4. Add archived tag: Adds a tag to mark the file as archived

This gives you fine-grained control over how your Obsidian vault reflects the state of your Karakeep bookmarks.
