Good question, and the answer is usually simpler than it looks: those secrets are almost always YOUR OWN credentials for whatever third-party service the app talks to — not something the developer sends you.Here's the model: Marketplace apps aren't a...

The pattern is documented and you are right not to full refresh pipeline 2, but as written the deletion detection can never fire, and the full refresh is not why. spark.readStream.table("raw.contact") makes contact append-only, so no key ever leaves ...
