Feature Description
Automate the injection of state bucket names into backend.tf files.
Use Case
During the bootstrap phase, developers are currently forced to run manual command-line sed replacements to swap out UPDATE_ME placeholders with actual bucket names.
Proposed Solution
Develop a lightweight Go or Bash pre-flight script to handle variable substitution in backend.tf files dynamically before terraform init is run.
Compliance & Deployment Context
- Target Deployment Type(s):
Reusability Check
Stellar Engine prioritizes reusability.
Alternatives Considered
Keeping the manual sed instructions in the README, which leads to user error.
Additional Context
This was explicitly requested in the legacy Feature Braindump from 2023.
