Sharing values between estates#

There is no remote state to read. live/OUTPUTS.md covers the cross-estate pattern, and data "terraform_remote_state" is refused.

Plan, review, apply#

Saved plan files are refused, so planning in a PR and applying that exact artifact has no equivalent yet. Ordinary apply re-plans and re-confirms against the live system, which is the honest behaviour, but nothing today detects that the world moved between review and apply.

The design closing that gap is settled. #74 chose a plan fingerprint, a digest printed at plan time that apply checks against its own fresh plan, refusing on mismatch. rfc/20260814-plan-approval.md holds the design. Not implemented yet.
