There is currently a bug in the apply engine that's causing a self-dependency error during promise resolution, which was a good reminder that we'd not previously finished connecting all of the parts to be able to unwind such problems into a useful error message. Due to how the work is split between the apply engine, the evaluator, and the execgraph package it takes some awkward back-and-forth to get all of the needed information together into one place. This compromise aims to do as little work as possible in the happy path and defer more expensive analysis until we actually know we're going to report an error message. In this case we can't really avoid proactively collecting the request IDs because we don't know ahead of time what (if anything) will be involved in a promise error, but only when actually generating an error message will we dig into the original source execution graph to find out what each of the affected requests was actually trying to do and construct a human-friendly summary of each one. This was a bit of a side-quest relative to the current goal of just getting things basically working with a simple configuration, but this is useful in figuring out what's going on with the current bug (which will be fixed in a future commit) and will probably be useful when dealing with future bugs too.

OpenTofu
OpenTofu is an OSS tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. OpenTofu can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
The key features of OpenTofu are:
-
Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
-
Execution Plans: OpenTofu has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what OpenTofu will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when OpenTofu manipulates infrastructure.
-
Resource Graph: OpenTofu builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, OpenTofu builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
-
Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what OpenTofu will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.
