Terraform Fixes

5 troubleshooting guides — each with the error, why it happens, and copy-paste commands to fix it.

• Terraform: 'Error Acquiring the State Lock' — A crashed run or killed CI job leaves the state lock held.
• Terraform: Remove a Resource Without Destroying It — You want Terraform to stop managing something — a database another team adopted, a resource you now manage by hand — without terraform destroy touching it.
• Terraform Init: 'No Available Releases Match the Given Constraints' — Terraform can't find a provider version matching what your config pins.
• Terraform Plan Suddenly Wants to Destroy Everything — A plan that shows a destroy-and-recreate of resources you did not touch is a red flag, not a routine change.
• Terraform Provider Version Mismatch Errors After Upgrade — Terraform 0.
