Add a deprecation warning when --force / -f is used on app deploy and app release. The flag will be removed in Shopify CLI 4.0. Users should migrate to --allow-updates (for CI/CD) or --allow-updates --allow-deletes (when removals are also needed). The SHOPIFY_FLAG_FORCE env var is covered by the same check since oclif resolves it into flags.force. Closes shop/issues-develop#22362 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…pe, refresh oclif manifests - Rename 'does not show deprecation warning when only --allow-deletes is passed' to correctly reflect its args (--allow-updates --allow-deletes) in deploy.test.ts - Add separate test for --allow-deletes alone in deploy.test.ts - Fix duplicate --allow-updates test in release.test.ts (now tests --allow-updates --allow-deletes) - Fix Organization object literal: remove non-existent fields (website, apps, zeroPartyData, appsNext) and add required 'source' field in both test files - Regenerate oclif.manifest.json and README.md via pnpm refresh-manifests Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
