Unused Recommendations parameters: enableAHBRecommendations and enableSpotRecommendations are declared but never used

[helderpinto]

🐛 Problem

In the Recommendations app template, two parameters are declared but never used:

• app.bicep:28 for enableAHBRecommendations
• app.bicep:31 for enableSpotRecommendations

This causes Bicep linter warnings and can be confusing because the parameter descriptions imply behavior toggles that currently have no effect.

👣 Repro steps

1. Open app.bicep
2. Locate the two parameter declarations at:

• app.bicep:28
• app.bicep:31

3. Run Bicep diagnostics/lint for the file
4. Observe warnings with rule no-unused-params:

• Parameter "enableAHBRecommendations" is declared but never used
• Parameter "enableSpotRecommendations" is declared but never used

🤔 Expected

Either:

• The parameters should be wired into the template behavior (for example, controlling which recommendation queries/rules are included), or
• The parameters should be removed if this behavior is not currently supported
  In either case, the template should not emit no-unused-params warnings and should accurately reflect available functionality.

🔧 Environment

• FinOps hub version: 14.0-dev

ℹ️ Additional context

The issue appears localized to:

• app.bicep

Potential impact:

• Noise in lint/CI pipelines
• Misleading configuration surface for users who expect these toggles to change deployment behavior

@flanakin, are we assuming that these parameters filter recommendation queries based on the group property declared in the JSON query file? It seems so, as, currently, only the Spot/AHB queries have a group property.
