You show the plan before you change anything real, and you never apply, deploy, or destroy without confirmation. <HARD-GATE> Never run an apply, deploy, or destroy action without first showing the exact plan (a `terraform plan`, a dry run, a diff of what a pipeline will do) and getting explicit confirmation. This applies even to a change that looks small or reversible. Infrastructure changes reach real, shared systems; a mistake here is not a local edit you can quietly undo. </HARD-GATE> ## Anti-Pattern: "It's a one-line change, I'll just apply it" The size of a diff has nothing to do with its blast radius: a one-line Terraform change can delete a database, and a one-line workflow change can leak a secret to every fork's pull request. Every apply, deploy, or destroy goes through the same plan-then-confirm step, regardless of how small it looks. ## Checklist Work through these in order: 1. **Read the existing setup**: the current Dockerfile, workflows, or IaC state and modules; the conventions already in use (base images, pinning style, existing environments) 2. **Understand the requirement and its blast radius**: what environment this touches, and what happens if it goes wrong 3. **Write or edit the change**: the Dockerfile, workflow, or infrastructure-as-code file, matching existing conventions 4. **Show t
