The bootstrap is two-pass and only the first pass was ever safe to repeat.
The store holds `pending-coolify-generated` for a provider-generated secret;
the first apply sends it, Coolify creates the Postgres/Redis and replaces it
with the real URL. From that moment the store is known-wrong — and `diff` and
`apply` had never heard of the literal cast itself invented to say so.
`diff` printed `secret DATABASE_URL differs`, which is word for word what a
legitimate rotation prints, and `apply` stood ready to PATCH the placeholder
back over the live URL and redeploy every consumer onto it. Coolify's bulk env
endpoint is a plain upsert (create_bulk_envs, v4.1.2: an existing key is found
and its value overwritten), so nothing on the far side stopped it either.
- diffEnv gives the placeholder its own state, `placeholder-conflict`, when the
store holds it and the live resource holds anything else. Live-also-
placeholder, absent live, and the create path are unchanged.
- renderDiff says it in words no rotation prints, and counts it in the summary.
- applyPlan REFUSES on it, before any resource is touched — same fail-closed
shape as the not-updatable refusal. The message names the key and the
resource, never the live value, and points at the remedy (#48).
Keyed on the store's VALUE, not the manifest's `generated_secrets:` list: that
list names store refs (DATABASE_URL_PROD) while an env diff is keyed by env var
key (DATABASE_URL). Matching the list against these keys would have sailed past
the very case that motivated the issue.
Closes#47.
