+## Configuration Issues
+
+### Circular Dependencies
+
+**Issue:** Component A references Component B, and Component B references Component A.
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Error: Cycle detected in component dependencies
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Break the circular reference** by refactoring components:
+
+```hcl
+# Before (circular dependency)
+component "vpc" {
+  source = "./modules/vpc"
+  inputs = {
+    security_group_id = component.app.security_group_id  # References app
+  }
+}
+
+component "app" {
+  source = "./modules/app"
+  inputs = {
+    vpc_id = component.vpc.vpc_id  # References vpc
+  }
+}
+
+# After (broken circular reference)
+component "vpc" {
+  source = "./modules/vpc"
+  inputs = {
+    # Remove reference to app
+  }
+}
+
+component "security_group" {
+  source = "./modules/security-group"
+  inputs = {
+    vpc_id = component.vpc.vpc_id
+  }
+}
+
+component "app" {
+  source = "./modules/app"
+  inputs = {
+    vpc_id             = component.vpc.vpc_id
+    security_group_id  = component.security_group.id
+  }
+}
+```
+
+2. **Use intermediate components** to break the dependency chain
+3. **Refactor modules** to remove the circular dependency at the module level
+
+### Validation Errors on Variables
+
+**Issue:** Variable block validation errors during `terraform stacks validate`.
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Error: Unsupported argument
+  on variables.tfcomponent.hcl line 5:
+  5:   validation {
+
+Validation blocks are not supported in Stack configurations
+```
+
+**Solution:** Remove `validation` blocks from variable declarations. Stacks do not support validation blocks:
+
+```hcl
+# Incorrect
+variable "instance_count" {
+  type = number
+  validation {
+    condition     = var.instance_count > 0
+    error_message = "Instance count must be positive"
+  }
+}
+
+# Correct
+variable "instance_count" {
+  type        = number
+  description = "Number of instances (must be positive)"
+}
+```
+
+Move validation logic into the underlying modules if needed.
+
+### Missing Type in Variable Declarations
+
+**Issue:** Variables fail validation when `type` is not specified.
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Error: Missing required argument
+  on variables.tfcomponent.hcl line 3:
+  3: variable "region" {
+
+The argument "type" is required in Stack variable declarations
+```
+
+**Solution:** Always specify `type` for variables - it's required in Stacks (unlike traditional Terraform):
+
+```hcl
+# Incorrect
+variable "region" {
+  default = "us-west-1"
+}
+
+# Correct
+variable "region" {
+  type    = string
+  default = "us-west-1"
+}
+```
+
+### Provider Configuration in Modules
+
+**Issue:** Modules with embedded provider blocks cause errors.
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Error: Provider configuration not allowed in module
+
+Modules used with Terraform Stacks cannot contain provider blocks
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. **Remove provider blocks from modules** - configure providers in Stack configuration instead
+2. **Use modules that don't contain provider blocks** (most public registry modules are compatible)
+3. **Fork and modify modules** if necessary to remove provider blocks
+
+## Deployment Issues
+
+### Cannot Destroy Deployment from UI
+
+**Issue:** The HCP Terraform UI doesn't provide an option to destroy Stack deployments.
+
+**Why:** Stack deployment destruction is only available through configuration, not the UI.
+
+**Solution:** Set `destroy = true` in the deployment block and upload the configuration:
+
+```hcl
+deployment "old_environment" {
+  inputs = {
+    aws_region     = "us-west-1"
+    instance_count = 2
+    role_arn       = local.role_arn
+    identity_token = identity_token.aws.jwt
+  }
+
+  destroy = true  # Marks deployment for destruction
+}
+```
+
+**Workflow:**
+
+1. Add `destroy = true` to the deployment block
+2. Run `terraform stacks configuration upload`
+3. HCP Terraform creates a destroy run automatically
+4. Approve the destroy run (if auto-approve is not configured)
+5. After destruction completes, remove the deployment block entirely
+6. Upload configuration again to clean up the deployment definition
+
+**Important:** You cannot destroy deployments from the UI. This is by design to prevent accidental destruction.
+
+### Deployment Stuck in "Planning" State
+
+**Issue:** Deployment remains in "planning" state indefinitely.
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+
+1. **Provider authentication failed** - Check OIDC configuration and IAM roles
+2. **Module download failed** - Verify module sources are accessible
+3. **Provider version conflict** - Check `.terraform.lock.hcl` matches required providers
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+# Get deployment step diagnostics
+terraform stacks deployment-run list
+# Note the run ID, then:
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-runs/{run-id}/stack-deployment-steps" | \
+  jq '.data[] | {id, status: .attributes.status, component: .attributes["component-name"]}'
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Check diagnostics for the stuck step
+2. Verify provider authentication is configured correctly
+3. Ensure all module sources are accessible
+4. Check provider lock file matches required providers
+
+### Deployment Requires Approval But No Approval Prompt
+
+**Issue:** Deployment is waiting for approval but CLI doesn't show approval prompt.
+
+**Why:** CLI monitoring commands are non-blocking and don't automatically prompt for approval.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+**Option 1: Approve via CLI**
+```bash
+# Approve all pending plans in a deployment run
+terraform stacks deployment-run approve-all-plans -deployment-run-id=sdr-ABC123
+
+# Or approve all plans in a deployment group
+terraform stacks deployment-group approve-all-plans -deployment-group=canary
+```
+
+**Option 2: Configure auto-approve** (Premium feature)
+```hcl
+deployment_auto_approve "safe_changes" {
+  deployment_group = deployment_group.canary
+
+  check {
+    condition = context.plan.applyable
+    reason    = "Plan must be successful"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Provider and Authentication Issues
+
+### OIDC Authentication Failing
+
+**Issue:** Provider authentication fails with OIDC/workload identity.
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+Error: Error assuming role with web identity
+Error: Failed to retrieve credentials
+Error: Invalid identity token
+```
+
+**Diagnosis Steps:**
+
+1. **Verify identity token configuration:**
+
+```hcl
+# Check identity_token block exists
+identity_token "aws" {
+  audience = ["aws.workload.identity"]
+}
+
+# Check deployment references the token
+deployment "production" {
+  inputs = {
+    identity_token = identity_token.aws.jwt
+  }
+}
+```
+
+2. **Verify provider configuration:**
+
+```hcl
+provider "aws" "this" {
+  config {
+    region = var.aws_region
+    assume_role_with_web_identity {
+      role_arn           = var.role_arn
+      web_identity_token = var.identity_token
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. **Check IAM role trust policy:**
+
+**AWS - Verify trust policy includes HCP Terraform:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Principal": {
+        "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::<account-id>:oidc-provider/app.terraform.io"
+      },
+      "Action": "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity",
+      "Condition": {
+        "StringEquals": {
+          "app.terraform.io:aud": "aws.workload.identity"
+        },
+        "StringLike": {
+          "app.terraform.io:sub": "organization:<org-name>:project:<project-name>:stack:<stack-name>:deployment:<deployment-name>"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Azure - Verify federated credential:**
+- Application ID matches the one in provider configuration
+- Subject matches: `organization:<org>:project:<project>:stack:<stack>:deployment:<deployment>`
+- Issuer is `https://app.terraform.io`
+
+**GCP - Verify workload identity pool:**
+- Provider configuration includes correct workload identity provider
+- Service account has necessary IAM permissions
+- Attribute mapping includes `google.subject` from token claims
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Fix IAM role trust policy to include correct HCP Terraform OIDC provider
+2. Ensure audience matches between identity_token block and IAM trust policy
+3. Verify subject pattern matches your organization/project/stack/deployment names
+4. Check that the role_arn is correct in provider configuration
+
+### Provider Version Lock File Issues
+
+**Issue:** Provider version conflicts or "could not retrieve provider" errors.
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+Error: Failed to install provider
+Error: Provider version not found
+Error: Checksum mismatch for provider
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Regenerate provider lock file:**
+
+```bash
+terraform stacks providers-lock
+```
+
+2. **Add additional platforms** (if deploying from different OS):
+
+```bash
+terraform stacks providers-lock \
+  -platform=linux_amd64 \
+  -platform=darwin_amd64 \
+  -platform=darwin_arm64
+```
+
+3. **Verify required_providers block:**
+
+```hcl
+required_providers {
+  aws = {
+    source  = "hashicorp/aws"
+    version = "~> 5.7.0"  # Ensure version constraint is valid
+  }
+}
+```
+
+4. **Commit `.terraform.lock.hcl`** to version control
+
+## Module Compatibility Issues
+
+### Public Registry Module Errors
+
+**Issue:** Modules from the Terraform public registry cause errors during plan or apply.
+
+**Common Errors:**
+```
+Error: Unsupported attribute
+Error: Invalid reference
+Error: Missing required argument
+```
+
+**Known Problematic Modules:**
+- `terraform-aws-modules/alb/aws` - Some versions have compatibility issues
+- `terraform-aws-modules/ecs-service/aws` - May have issues with certain configurations
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Test modules in dev deployment first** before using in production
+
+2. **Check module compatibility** by reviewing recent issues on the module repository
+
+3. **Use specific module versions** rather than latest:
+
+```hcl
+component "alb" {
+  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/alb/aws"
+  version = "8.7.0"  # Use specific version known to work
+  # ...
+}
+```
+
+4. **Consider using raw resources** for critical infrastructure:
+
+```hcl
+# Instead of using a module that has issues
+component "alb" {
+  source = "./modules/alb"  # Create local module with raw resources
+  # ...
+}
+```
+
+5. **Fork and fix modules** if you have the resources to maintain them
+
+6. **Report compatibility issues** to module maintainers
+
+### Local Module Not Found
+
+**Issue:** Stack can't find local module sources.
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Error: Module not found
+  Could not load module ./modules/vpc
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Verify module path is relative** to Stack root:
+
+```hcl
+# Correct
+component "vpc" {
+  source = "./modules/vpc"
+}
+
+# Incorrect (absolute paths don't work)
+component "vpc" {
+  source = "/Users/username/project/modules/vpc"
+}
+```
+
+2. **Ensure module directory exists** with proper structure:
+
+```
+my-stack/
+├── components.tfcomponent.hcl
+└── modules/
+    └── vpc/
+        ├── main.tf
+        ├── variables.tf
+        └── outputs.tf
+```
+
+3. **Check file permissions** on module directories
+
+## State and Dependency Issues
+
+### Component Output Not Available
+
+**Issue:** Component output is not available to referencing component.
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Error: Reference to unknown component
+  Component "vpc" has not been defined
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Verify component exists** in configuration:
+
+```hcl
+component "vpc" {
+  source = "./modules/vpc"
+  # Must define component before referencing it
+}
+
+component "app" {
+  source = "./modules/app"
+  inputs = {
+    vpc_id = component.vpc.vpc_id  # Now valid
+  }
+}
+```
+
+2. **Check output is defined in module:**
+
+```hcl
+# In modules/vpc/outputs.tf
+output "vpc_id" {
+  value = aws_vpc.main.id
+}
+```
+
+3. **For components with for_each**, reference specific instance:
+
+```hcl
+component "regional" {
+  for_each = var.regions
+  # ...
+}
+
+component "app" {
+  inputs = {
+    # Correct - reference specific instance
+    vpc_id = component.regional["us-west-1"].vpc_id
+
+    # Incorrect - can't reference for_each component directly
+    # vpc_id = component.regional.vpc_id
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Deferred Changes Not Converging
+
+**Issue:** Deployment with deferred changes doesn't complete after multiple iterations.
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Error: Maximum deferred change iterations reached
+```
+
+**Cause:** Dependency cycle or values that never stabilize.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Review component dependencies** for logical cycles
+2. **Check for computed values that change on every run**
+3. **Refactor to break dependency chain**
+4. **Consider multi-stage deployments** if resources truly can't be created together
+
+## API and CLI Issues
+
+### Empty Diagnostics Response
+
+**Issue:** API request for diagnostics returns empty results.
+
+**Request:**
+```bash
+curl "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-steps/{step-id}/stack-diagnostics"
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "data": []
+}
+```
+
+**Solution:** Add required `stack_deployment_step_id` query parameter:
+
+```bash
+curl "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-steps/{step-id}/stack-diagnostics?stack_deployment_step_id={step-id}"
+```
+
+### Cannot Retrieve Stack Outputs
+
+**Issue:** No CLI command to retrieve Stack outputs after deployment.
+
+**Why:** Currently no direct CLI command for outputs retrieval.
+
+**Solution:** Use the artifacts API endpoint:
+
+```bash
+# Get final apply step ID first
+APPLY_STEP=$(terraform stacks deployment-run list --json | \
+  jq -r '.[0].deployment_steps[] | select(.operation_type == "apply") | .id' | tail -1)
+
+# Get outputs
+curl -L -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-steps/$APPLY_STEP/artifacts?name=apply-description" | \
+  jq -r '.outputs | to_entries | .[] | "\(.key): \(.value.change.after)"'
+```
+
+### CLI Watch Commands Hang in CI/CD
+
+**Issue:** Commands like `terraform stacks deployment-run watch` never return in CI/CD pipelines.
+
+**Why:** Watch commands stream output indefinitely and are designed for interactive use.
+
+**Solution:** Use API polling instead of watch commands. See `api-monitoring.md` for complete workflow.
+
+### Artifacts Endpoint Returns 404
+
+**Issue:** Request to artifacts endpoint returns 404 Not Found.
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+
+1. **Step hasn't completed yet** - wait for step status to be "completed"
+2. **Wrong artifact name** - use one of: plan-description, plan-debug-log, apply-description, apply-debug-log
+3. **Invalid step ID** - verify step ID from deployment-steps endpoint
+
+**Solution:**
+
+```bash
+# Check step status first
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-steps/{step-id}" | \
+  jq '.data.attributes.status'
+
+# Only request artifacts when status is "completed"
+if [ "$STATUS" = "completed" ]; then
+  curl -L -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+    "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-steps/{step-id}/artifacts?name=apply-description"
+fi
+```
+
+### HTTP 307 Redirect Not Followed
+
+**Issue:** Artifacts endpoint returns redirect response instead of artifact content.
+
+**Why:** The endpoint returns HTTP 307 redirect to the actual artifact URL.
+
+**Solution:** Configure HTTP client to follow redirects:
+
+```bash
+# curl: Use -L flag
+curl -L -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-steps/{step-id}/artifacts?name=apply-description"
+
+# Python requests: allow_redirects=True (default)
+import requests
+response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, allow_redirects=True)
+
+# Node.js fetch: redirect: 'follow' (default)
+const response = await fetch(url, {
+  headers: headers,
+  redirect: 'follow'
+});
+```
+
+## Getting Additional Help
+
+### Enable Debug Logging
+
+For more detailed error information, enable debug logging:
+
+```bash
+# CLI commands
+TF_LOG=DEBUG terraform stacks validate
+TF_LOG=DEBUG terraform stacks configuration upload
+
+# API artifacts
+# Request the debug-log artifact instead of description
+curl -L -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  "https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/stack-deployment-steps/{step-id}/artifacts?name=apply-debug-log"
+```
+

+
+To scaffold a new Terraform provider with Plugin Framework:
+
+1. If I am already in a Terraform provider workspace, then confirm that I want
+   to create a new workspace. If I do not want to create a new workspace, then
+   skip all remaining steps.
+1. Create a new workspace root directory. The root directory name should be
+   prefixed with "terraform-provider-". Perform all subsequent steps in this
+   new workspace.
+1. Initialize a new Go module..
+1. Run `go get -u github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework@latest`.
+1. Write a main.go file that follows [the example](assets/main.go).
+1. Remove TODO comments from `main.go`
+1. Run `go mod tidy`
+1. Run `go build -o /dev/null`
+1. Run `go test ./...`
+
