Description

output_changes is in every plan and the provider ignores it (reachable only via the untyped json
provider). Unlocks: no output exposes a credential; no module removes an output without a
deprecation — a breaking API change to every consumer, invisible today.

Research direction

Start at the provider implementation for Terraform plan operations and trace how output_changes is handled, comparing it with the untyped JSON provider path. Identify the existing provider tests before changing behavior. Done means typed plans expose output_changes to policy evaluation, including output additions, removals, and sensitive values without exposing credentials.
