if a connection string is removed from the json, it should be removed from the app services too

Summary: az webapp config connection-string set with JSON file only adds/updates connection strings but doesn't remove ones absent from the input — expected behavior is full replacement.

Status: Confirmed Bug (will fix)

Priority: P2

Next Steps: Fix planned — CLI should support removal of connection strings not present in the JSON input, enabling full declarative set semantics.
