 ### Added
 
 - `DeviceTreeBuilder.remove_capabilities()`: the inverse of `extend()`. A capability that becomes relevant at runtime can stop being relevant, and without this its node stayed advertised in `$description` with retained topics behind it. `Device.delete_node()` already clears those and re-announces, so what this closes is the bookkeeping: reaching around the builder to call it left `model_keys` and `created_groups` describing properties that no longer existed, and a later `remove()` working from that stale record. Idempotent like `extend()`, and named for capabilities rather than nodes because that is the declarative vocabulary. ([#78](https://github.com/electrification-bus/python-sdk/issues/78))
