Change-control checkpoint

Before any apply, state migration, import or destroy, confirm the account/project, region, backend, workspace and allowed resource scope. Treat state and saved plans as sensitive artifacts; do not commit credentials, state or secret variable files. Inspect a saved plan for replacements, deletions, IAM and network exposure, then apply only the reviewed plan to the authorized environment. Stop on backend/lock errors rather than disabling locking or force-unlocking another operation. Validate modules in an isolated test environment; a successful plan does not prove deployment safety or absence of charges.

Limitations

• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
