Previously the Go toolchain had no explicit support for "tools" and so we
used the typical Go community workaround of adding "tools.go" files (two,
for some reason) that existed only to trick the Go toolchain into
considering the tools as dependencies we could track in go.mod.
Go 1.24 introduced explicit support for tracking tools as part of go.mod,
and the ability to run those using "go tool" instead of "go run", and so
this commit switches us over to using that strategy for everything we were
previously managing in tools.go.
There are some intentional exceptions here:
- The protobuf-compile script can't use "go tool" or "go run" because the
tools in question are run only indirectly through protoc. However, we
do still use the "tool" directive in go.mod to tell the Go toolchain that
we depend on those tools, so that it'll track which versions we are
currently using as part of go.mod.
- Our golangci-lint Makefile target uses "go run" to run a specific
version of golangci-lint. We _intentionally_ don't consider that tool
to be a direct dependency of OpenTofu because it has a lot of indirect
dependencies that would pollute our go.mod file. Therefore that continues
to use "go run" after this commit.
- Both of our tools.go files previously referred to
github.com/nishanths/exhaustive , but nothing actually appears to be
using that tool in the current OpenTofu tree, so it's no longer a
dependency after this commit.
All of the dependencies we have _only_ for tools are now classified as
"indirect" in the go.mod file. This is the default behavior of the Go
toolchain and appears to be motivated by making it clearer that these
modules do not contribute anything to the runtime behavior of OpenTofu.
This also corrected a historical oddity in our go.mod where for some reason
the "indirect" dependencies had been split across two different "require"
directives; they are now all grouped together in a single directive.

HCL's diagnostic model now includes the idea of "extra information" which
works by attaching an initially-opaque interface value to each diagnostic
and then asking callers to type-assert against that value to sniff for
particular interfaces in order to discover additional machine-readable
context about a certain diagnostic message.
This commit echoes that idea into our tfdiags API, for now only for
diagnostics that are backed by an hcl.Diagnostic. All other implementations
of the diagnostic interface just always return nil, which means they never
carry any "extra information".
As is typical for our wrapping abstraction, we have here also a modified
copy of HCL's helper function for conveniently probing a diagnostic for
information of a particular type, designed to work with our diagnostic
interface instead of HCL's concrete diagnostic type.
Evaluate precondition and postcondition blocks in refresh-only mode, but
report any failures as warnings instead of errors. This ensures that any
deviation from the contract defined by condition blocks is reported as
early as possible, without preventing the completion of a state refresh
operation.
Prior to this commit, Terraform evaluated output preconditions and data
source pre/postconditions as normal in refresh-only mode, while managed
resource pre/postconditions were not evaluated at all. This omission
could lead to confusing partial condition errors, or failure to detect
undesired changes which would otherwise cause resources to become
invalid.
Reporting the failures as errors also meant that changes retrieved
during refresh could cause the refresh operation to fail. This is also
undesirable, as the primary purpose of the operation is to update local
state. Precondition/postcondition checks are still valuable here, but
should be informative rather than blocking.
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
