• 🔴 (20:45) User stated they sometimes need to use Terraform -target applies to get a job done, particularly when applying changes in a specific area.
• 🔴 [requested-scope-safety] (20:45) User wants to instruct Terraform that under no circumstances may it change the VPC when targeting vpc_flow_logs; only the VPC flow logs should change, and Terraform should abort if it cannot safely stay within that scope.
• 🔴 (20:45) User described the desired strict targeting behavior: Terraform may look up and refresh the vpc_flow_logs dependency hierarchy and calculate the delta, but must fail gracefully for investigation rather than apply changes outside the explicitly requested target.
• 🔴 (20:45) User stated their current workaround is to run terraform plan, verify programmatically that every proposed change affects only resources specified by the original -target, and proceed with apply only when that condition holds.
• 🟡 (20:46) Assistant found a required adjudication correction for opentofu-github-pr-727 (“Add the license to compare-release-versions.sh”): under the project’s SPDX boundary, adding a missing license header is attribution normalization unless the source changes license terms or licensing authority. Therefore PR 727 should receive a resolved non-institutional reject, contrary to both Luna coders’ license-edge interpretation.
