marcus 1ab410621c perf: delete_category uses single API session (v0.4.13)
Previously delete_category made two separate login cycles (accgetallfamily
to verify + taskcategorydelete to delete) = 6 HTTP calls. Now both happen
in one session = 4 HTTP calls. Halves latency and eliminates the risk of
a compounding timeout when the API is temporarily slow.

FW_DEBUG=1 investigation confirmed the API itself is fast (<1s); the
reported 4-min timeout was transient API slowness amplified by the double
session overhead.

Also recreated 'Obst & Gemüse' (emoji 🍎) as taskCategory/23431854_4956806
after it was accidentally consumed by the debug script.

"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-familywall", "serve"]
}
}
}
```
## Verify
```bash
mcp-familywall check
```
## Debug logging

```bash
FW_DEBUG=1 mcp-familywall check
```
