How to Document Emergency Terraform Changes Made Outside the Pipeline

Emergency console edits can create drift that a later apply may unexpectedly revert.

Checks to make

Record actor, reason, resource, before and after values, and incident reference. Reconcile the intended state in code, review the resulting plan, and restore normal pipeline ownership. Avoid editing state manually to conceal drift.

When to get help
