[Bug-NOK]: Deployment across mutiple clusters(each having 1 host) - EDIT operation to remove 1 cluster does not remove app from it.

[ss5829]

Bug Description

1. Onboard 2 hosts individually thereby creating 2 clusters(each with 1 host).
2. Perform a deployment operation, using NFD application, on both these clusters together.
3. Perform EDIT operation on that deployment & remove 1 of the cluster from the deployment.

Ideally the number of deployments "Running Instances", should have reduced to 1/1 from 2/2
But the operation doesn't proceed further. however the EDIT operation is seen as a success.

following is the log from orch-app-app-deployment-manager

another observation while deploying the observability application

observability application installs cert-manager as a dependency

1. deploy the observability application on these multiple clusters(each with 1 host)
2. wait for the cert-manager installation to be completed too.
3. now perform EDIT operation to remove observabiliity application from 1 cluster.
4. it can be seen cert-manager still shows 2/2.

it considers the deployment on whole and is removed only when the deployment of that observability application is removed.
