Deployment Stacks

" summary

Preview shows exact claims: stacks what-if runs server side, compares desired vs current state using a maintained state file and a postdeploy GET for a three‑way diff, and will add auto noise filtering; stack actions distinguish delete resources (detach groups) from delete all (remove groups) and support deny settings to prevent accidental changes. A demo creates a cross‑scope stack with Bicep, what‑if flags the deletes, and the ADO/bicep deploy task integration is working in preview.
