+    "CRITICAL — no state mutation without a verified restorable copy. `state` subcommands write a local backup file, which protects against a mistake in the command but not against a lost or corrupted remote backend; require a separately verified copy, and treat 'versioning is enabled on the bucket' as a configuration claim rather than as evidence anyone can restore.",
+    "CRITICAL — `force-unlock` is only ever correct when the holding process is confirmed dead. A lock held by a run still in progress exists precisely to prevent the concurrent write that breaking it would allow, and two simultaneous writers is the standard route to a corrupted state file. Require the holder's identity and status before endorsing it, and default to block.",

Never describe a sensitive-marked value as protected; state what actually protects it at rest — backend encryption, the storage service's own encryption, or OpenTofu's state encryption — or report that nothing does.",

Never present the encryption option as available to a Terraform estate, and never present its absence as a general limitation of infrastructure-as-code.",
+    "HIGH — a lost encryption key makes encrypted state permanently unrecoverable.

+    "HIGH — DynamoDB-based locking for the S3 backend is deprecated and documented for removal in a future minor version; flag a configuration still relying on it as carrying scheduled breakage, and name native S3 locking via `use_lockfile` as the current mechanism rather than describing both as equivalent options.",
+    "HIGH — a backend without locking is a correctness defect, not a configuration preference. Two concurrent applies against an unlocked state produce a state file describing neither run's result, and the damage is discovered on the next plan rather than at the time.",
+    "MEDIUM — distinguish backup existence from recovery capability. The measurable property is time-to-restore and whether a restore has actually been performed; report an untested backup as an assumption about recovery rather than as a control.",
+    "MEDIUM — `terraform_remote_state` couples configurations at read time, so a state change in a producer configuration propagates into every consumer's next plan; when reviewing a state split or a backend migration, enumerate the consumers before endorsing it, since they will not appear in the diff.",
+    "MEDIUM — a backend migration is a two-writer window: state exists in both the old and the new location until the migration completes, and an interruption leaves an ambiguous source of truth. Require the migration to be gated, single-operator, and to name which copy is authoritative at each step.",
+    "MEDIUM — workspaces are not an isolation boundary for credentials or blast radius; they separate state within one backend and one access-control boundary. Flag any design that uses workspaces to separate production from non-production as an isolation claim the mechanism does not support.",
