Orphan vs Destroy
destroy deletes the AWS resources and the state record;
orphan deletes only the state record (AWS resources stay
intact, just no longer tracked by cdkd). Mirrors aws-cdk-cli's
cdk orphan.
Two orphan variants at different granularities:
cdkd orphan <constructPath>...— synth-driven, per-resource. Rewrites every sibling reference (Ref / Fn::GetAtt / Fn::Sub / dependencies) so the next deploy doesn't re-create the orphan.cdkd state orphan <stack>...— state-driven, whole-stack. Removes the entire state record. Works without the CDK app.
Both cdkd destroy (synth-driven) and cdkd state destroy
(state-driven, no synth) delete AWS resources + state.
