### Expected behavior

CLI should fail gracefully when attempting to delete a project that is actively updating

```
josef ~/D/p/a/r/10098

Research direction

Start with the Amplify CLI delete command and trace how it handles an AWS stack in UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS. Reproduce the issue by pushing an update, then running `amplify delete --force` in a separate terminal. Done means the command exits with the concise expected error and does not emit a stack trace or unexpected-error report.
