Hide azure-environment when all Azure resources use emulators #19617
Description
Description
When every Azure resource in an AppHost is configured to run as a local emulator, the dashboard still shows an azure-environment resource in the Not started state.
This adds noise to the resource list and suggests that part of the application has not started, even though no Azure provisioning environment is needed for the local run.
Expected behavior
azure-environment should be hidden when all Azure resources in the model use emulators and no resource needs Azure provisioning. Alternatively, it could be hidden by default unless it participates in the current run.
Actual behavior
azure-environment appears as a visible, Not started resource alongside otherwise running emulator resources.
Reproduction
Using Aspire CLI/SDK 13.5.2 with a TypeScript AppHost, configure Azure resources exclusively with local emulators, for example:
- Azure Cosmos DB with
runAsPreviewEmulator - Azure Storage with
runAsEmulator - Azure Event Hubs with
runAsEmulator
Start the AppHost and open the Resources page in the dashboard. The azure-environment resource remains visible in the Not started state.

Affected version(s): 13.5.2 (latest: 13.5 line, wrapping up)
Severity: S4 — cosmetic dashboard noise; the
azure-environmentresource shows Not started when all Azure resources are emulators. Misleading but non-blocking; obvious workaround (ignore the resource).Urgency: ⚪ backlog — no milestone
Reason: UX polish, not a regression and not S1/S2. Backlog is the default while 13.5 stabilizes.
