Require a reviewed target scope, simulation and rollback plan before approving the automation. This instead targets the different case Review deployment blast radius and rollback. The described Detect drift with planned IaC comparison requirement specifically calls for Run a drift-aware plan against current resources and review an approved reconciliation action.

Classify the script as a read-only managed-device inventory/health report rather than an interface configuration updater. This instead targets the different case Interpret Catalyst Center device health report. The described Detect drift with planned IaC comparison requirement specifically calls for Run a drift-aware plan against current resources and review an approved reconciliation action.

Interpret the OR branch as creating svc_bot only when the id lookup fails. This instead targets the different case Bash user creation guarded by id. The described Detect drift with planned IaC comparison requirement specifically calls for Run a drift-aware plan against current resources and review an approved reconciliation action.

The reviewed candidate explicitly blocks Telnet whereas the previous line allowed it. That observation could confirm Unified diff shows removed firewall allowance, not the current Detect drift with planned IaC comparison case. For this case, the decisive observation is: The plan reports the unexpected live rule before any approved apply modifies it.

The transaction is reported failed and no unauthorized configuration change is claimed. That observation could confirm Interpret NETCONF rpc-error response, not the current Detect drift with planned IaC comparison case. For this case, the decisive observation is: The plan reports the unexpected live rule before any approved apply modifies it.

One suite reaches both lab routers using intended aliases without editing its test logic. That observation could confirm Testbed metadata for automated lab connections, not the current Detect drift with planned IaC comparison case. For this case, the decisive observation is: The plan reports the unexpected live rule before any approved apply modifies it.

The service module controls both immediate state and boot-time enablement. This relates to Ansible service started and enabled. In the current Detect drift with planned IaC comparison case the operative principle is: IaC plan compares declared desired state with discovered provider resources and tracked state.

Unified diff uses - for lines in the old version only and + for lines in the new version only. This relates to Unified diff shows removed firewall allowance. In the current Detect drift with planned IaC comparison case the operative principle is: IaC plan compares declared desired state with discovered provider resources and tracked state.

In the current Detect drift with planned IaC comparison case the operative principle is: IaC plan compares declared desired state with discovered provider resources and tracked state.

Miscounting context can exaggerate change scope or hide an actual deletion. This risk occurs in the different Unified diff context versus change lines situation. For the given Detect drift with planned IaC comparison requirement, the directly relevant risk is: Applying blindly can destroy emergency changes or preserve an unauthorized exposure.

Ignoring rpc-error can produce false-success automation logs. This risk occurs in the different Interpret NETCONF rpc-error response situation. For the given Detect drift with planned IaC comparison requirement, the directly relevant risk is: Applying blindly can destroy emergency changes or preserve an unauthorized exposure.

Misusing imperative provisioners as core state management makes drift and retries difficult. This risk occurs in the different Terraform versus Ansible responsibilities situation.
