Have you tried omitting all those default values? There is a difference between using a value that is the same as the default, and omitting the property to fall back to the default.

Also, you could try setting the alias first, without setting parent. Then update the code to add the parent opt. I don't know if it's needed for this, but it is needed for protected, so .. worth a shot?

Yeah my first attempt was just setting the `parent: pulumi.rootStackResource` field. The pulumi preview showed a delete+create as well.

I'll give it a shot now

No dice, but it's okay. I'll just nuke and recreate.
