This file is a checklist, not a complete provider workflow. - Copyright is IBM Corp. The repository LICENSE at this revision is MPL-2.0. No review was executed. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - .agents/maintainer.md (complete file) - LICENSE opening: Copyright IBM Corp. 2014, 2026, then Mozilla Public License Version 2.0 - Re-read 2026-10-13 at the same pin: the file has no description field, so upstreamDescription is now its opening sentence, quoted contiguously, instead of two fragments joined by an ellipsis. The file is byte-identical at the repository head that day. ### Our findings - The security check names secrets in code, logs and version control. - The constraint says not to contribute PRs. ### Not established by this review - The persona was not loaded. - The sibling contributor file was not read. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Use the role in your project. [Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/972faab3f6e4e37aff0453fe05366f3bd3fc2b97/.agents/maintainer.md) - Read .agents/maintainer.md at the reviewed revision before copying it into a host. - Treat it as a review checklist. The file says not to contribute pull requests. - The @contributor file was not part of this review. Do not assume it was inspected. ### Before you start - The provider change you want reviewed ### Compatibility A host that can load a Markdown role description ### Host-mediated read of a provider change - The file does not declare a tool allowlist. - It says not to open pull requests. It does not grant cloud credentials. ### Cost model Definition can be reused under MPL-2.0. Host and model usage may incur charges. Those charges were not measured. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
