website: Reworking of the "terraform plan" docs, and related pages It's been a long time since we gave this page an overhaul, and with our ongoing efforts to make plan and apply incorporate all of the side-effects that might need to be done against a configuration it seems like a good time for some restructuring in that vein. The starting idea here is to formally split the many "terraform plan" options into a few different categories: - Planning modes - Planning options - Other options The planning modes and options are the subset that are also accepted by "terraform apply" when it's running in its default mode of generating a plan and then prompting for interactive approval of it. This then allows us to avoid duplicating all of that information on the "terraform apply" page, and thus allows us to spend more words discussing each of them. This set of docs is intended as a fresh start into which we'll be able to more surgically add in the information about -refresh-only and -replace=... once we have those implemented. Consequently there are some parts of this which may seem a little overwraught for what it's currently describing; that's a result of my having prepared this by just deleting the -refresh-only and -replace=... content from our initial docs draft and submitted the result, in anticipation of re-adding the parts I've deleted here in the very near future in other commits.

## Usage
command: New -compact-warnings option When warnings appear in isolation (not accompanied by an error) it's reasonable to want to defer resolving them for a while because they are not actually blocking immediate work. However, our warning messages tend to be long by default in order to include all of the necessary context to understand the implications of the warning, and that can make them overwhelming when combined with other output. As a compromise, this adds a new CLI option -compact-warnings which is supported for all the main operation commands and which uses a more compact format to print out warnings as long as they aren't also accompanied by errors. The default remains unchanged except that the threshold for consolidating warning messages is reduced to one so that we'll now only show one of each distinct warning summary. Full warning messages are always shown if there's at least one error included in the diagnostic set too, because in that case the warning message could contain additional context to help understand the error.

Automatically applying the effect of a refresh is risky, because if you have
misconfigured credentials for one or more providers then the provider may
be misled into thinking that all of the managed objects have been deleted,
and thus remove all of the tracked objects without any confirmation prompt.

command: Reorganize docs of the local backend's legacy CLI options We have these funny extra options that date back to before Terraform even had remote state, which we've preserved along the way by most recently incorporating them as special-case overrides for the local backend. The documentation we had for these has grown less accurate over time as the details have shifted, and was in many cases missing the requisite caveats that they are only for the local backend and that backend configuration is the modern, preferred way to deal with the use-cases they were intended for. We always have a bit of a tension with this sort of legacy option because we want to keep them documented just enough to be useful to someone who finds an existing script/etc using them and wants to know what they do, but not to take up so much space that they might distract users from finding the modern alternative they should consider instead. As a compromise in that vein here I've created a new section about these options under the local backend documentation, which then gives us the space to go into some detail about the various behaviors and interactions and also to discuss their history and our recommended alternatives. I then simplified all of the other mentions of these in command documentation to just link to or refer to the local backend documentation. My hope then is that folks who need to know what these do can still find the docs, but that information can be kept out of the direct path of new users so they can focus on learning about remote backends instead. This is certainly not the most ideal thing ever, but it seemed like the best compromise between the competing priorities I described above.

website: Reworking of the "terraform plan" docs, and related pages It's been a long time since we gave this page an overhaul, and with our ongoing efforts to make plan and apply incorporate all of the side-effects that might need to be done against a configuration it seems like a good time for some restructuring in that vein. The starting idea here is to formally split the many "terraform plan" options into a few different categories: - Planning modes - Planning options - Other options The planning modes and options are the subset that are also accepted by "terraform apply" when it's running in its default mode of generating a plan and then prompting for interactive approval of it. This then allows us to avoid duplicating all of that information on the "terraform apply" page, and thus allows us to spend more words discussing each of them. This set of docs is intended as a fresh start into which we'll be able to more surgically add in the information about -refresh-only and -replace=... once we have those implemented. Consequently there are some parts of this which may seem a little overwraught for what it's currently describing; that's a result of my having prepared this by just deleting the -refresh-only and -replace=... content from our initial docs draft and submitted the result, in anticipation of re-adding the parts I've deleted here in the very near future in other commits.

The `-refresh-only` option for `terraform plan` and `terraform apply` was
website: More accurate release versions for new plan options While we were working on and documenting these it wasn't clear exactly what Terraform CLI version they would land in, and so we used "Terraform v1.0" in the docs as a safe bound that was definitely going to include all of them. With everything now landed though, we can be more specific about which v0.15.x minor release each of these appeared in.

`terraform refresh` directly if you need this behavior, while taking into
account the warnings above. Wherever possible, avoid using `terraform refresh`
explicitly and instead rely on Terraform's behavior of automatically refreshing
existing objects as part of creating a normal plan.
