CLI expects services to be deleted prior to environment deletion

• Electric: Electric Cloud (hosted API; no server version exposed to the CLI)

Bug description
The Per-PR environments docs show teardown as a single step after provisioning a Postgres sync service:

electric environments delete "$ENV_ID" --force

In practice, deleting an environment that still contains services fails even when --force is passed. The CLI/API returns an error along the lines of “Delete all services first.” (exit code 5 / conflict).

Reproduction:

• Create an environment and a Postgres sync service (same flow as the docs):

ENV_ID=$(electric environments create \
  --project "$PROJECT_ID" --name "pr-123" \
  --json | jq -r '.id')
electric services create postgres \
  --environment "$ENV_ID" \
  --database-url "$DATABASE_URL" \
  --region eu-west-1 \
  --wait

• Attempt teardown exactly as documented:

electric environments delete "$ENV_ID" --force --json

• Observe failure: environment is not deleted; error indicates services must be removed first.
  The only reliable workaround is to list and delete every service manually before deleting the environment:

electric services list --environment "$ENV_ID" --json
electric services delete "$SERVICE_ID" --force
electric environments delete "$ENV_ID" --force

This contradicts the documented Per-PR teardown flow, which implies one environments delete --force call is sufficient. The --force flag is documented only as skipping the interactive confirmation prompt when using --json; it does not appear to cascade-delete child services, despite the Per-PR example suggesting otherwise.

Expected behavior

Either:

• environments delete ENV_ID --force should delete the environment and all services in it (cascade teardown), matching the Per-PR docs example; or
• The docs should explicitly require deleting services first, and the --force flag documentation should not imply that environment deletion alone is enough for teardown.
