I was just trying to set a backend alias for maven (since aqua is mostly behind with latest versions) and figured that i am not able to do so with the alias set command. While config set works, it is not obvious and does not allow for removal.

Bug: Alias Methods Fail to Update In-Memory State

The set_backend_alias and remove_backend_alias methods only update the TOML document. They miss updating the in-memory self.alias structure, which can lead to inconsistencies between the in-memory state and the persisted configuration. Existing methods like set_alias correctly update both.

Bug: Backend Alias Removal Causes Data Loss

The remove_backend_alias method has two issues. Unlike remove_alias, it updates only the TOML document, leaving the in-memory self.alias out of sync. Additionally, it removes the entire tool entry from the TOML, including any version aliases, instead of just the backend alias. This can lead to unexpected data loss and inconsistencies.
