Terraform Drift Detection and Reporting
summary
Tool built in Go uses terraform-exec to run Terraform programmatically, scans a project directory for .tf modules, runs init/plan/show per module in parallel and diffs backend state against the generated plan. Output is the CLI tool clairvoyance that reports per-project counts of added changed deleted resources, prints a table to stdout, runs ~10+ projects in ~40s in demos, and is functional now with plans for Discord reporting and containerized cron execution.
