I'm having an issue with the CLI while trying to manage multiple databases within a single project. My goal is to simplify my local environment by only including the database i am currently working with in my appwrite.json/appwrite.config.json, but as soon as I remove the second database from the JSON, the CLI identifies it as missing and attempts to delete it from the server during the next push.

Hoping there is some sort of filter or configuration to allow me to prevent accidently updating the other databases in my project

TL;DR
Problem with Appwrite CLI: Removing databases from local config triggers server deletion. Developer seeking a way to prevent accidental deletion of databases when updating configurations.
