Description
While I was provisioning AR in AWS I got an error which is not relevant to this issue. I have noticed in docker compose logs that error output was not detected, even though it's clearly visible just above.

Research direction
Start with the Terraform apply failure shown in the Docker Compose logs and the referenced modules/generic-server/resources.tf entry. Trace how the API handles the nonzero Terraform return and captures its output; done means the visible Terraform error is detected and reported instead of producing the generic no-output message.
