Description

### Resource Type

Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters

### Api Version

Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters@2025-01-01

### Issue Type

Property(s) do not have expected effect on deployment

### Other Notes

Experiencing intermittent false positive validations during deployment pipelines.
The `enableEncryptionAtHost` property under `agentPoolProfiles` is marked as immutable, but the deployment sometimes pass the what-if validations.

Error message: "Preflight validation check for resource(s) for container service XXX-aks in resource group XXXX failed. Message: Changing property 'properties.enableEncryptionAtHost' is not allowed"

This appears to be a resource type definition inaccuracy where ARM template deployment incorrectly handles the comparison of immutable properties.

The issue occurs redeploying the pipelines, deployment logs sometimes show:
```
~ properties.agentPoolProfiles: [
~ 0:
~ enableEncryptionAtHost: false => true
```
Despite no actual change being made in the template i can see the two options appearing intermittently.

### Bicep Repro

```bicep
resource aks 'Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters@2025-01-01' = {
name: 'example-aks'
location: location
properties: {
dnsPrefix: 'example'
kubernetesVersion: '1.22.6'
agentPoolProfiles: [
{
name: 'nodepool1'
count: 3
vmSize: 'Standard_DS2_v2'
mode: 'System'
enableEncryptionAtHost: true // This immutable property sometimes pass correctly
}
]
}
identity: {
type: 'SystemAssigned'
}
}
```

Research direction

Start with the provided Bicep repro for Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters@2025-01-01 and compare repeated what-if validation results for agentPoolProfiles.enableEncryptionAtHost. Done means unchanged templates produce consistent validation output and genuine changes to the immutable property are still rejected.
