Scarab Diagnostic Suite Field Test #005: A Terraform Core Cache Boundary
The fifth field test of the Scarab Diagnostic Suite focused on a long-standing issue in Terraform core related to shared provider cache behavior. The test revealed that the problem was not merely about file permissions but involved deeper authority boundaries concerning provider cache and checksum validation. A candidate repair was proposed to prevent overwriting the global cache, ensuring safer operations in shared environments.
