End-to-end workflow for making a change to an existing Terraform module resource: fetch provider docs, implement the change, write a pure-logic tftest fixture (no provider credentials needed), wire test discovery via Makefile, run the full validation cycle (terraform test → fmt → tflint), and update RELEASE_NOTES.md. Use when the user asks to add, update, or fix an argument on an existing Terraform resource, add a new behaviour to an existing resource block, ensure a resource re-syncs on upstream changes, or "update X to use the new Y argument". Trigger on phrases like "update this resource to use", "add X to my terraform resource", "ensure sync when", "how do I make terraform detect changes in", "update my tf code for provider version X", "write tests for this tf change". DO NOT use for: scaffolding new modules (use terraform-caf-azurerm-module), full provider version upgrades across a module (use eslz-module-upgrade), or pure validation runs without code changes (use terraform-validation-workflow).
