Proposed fix: [Terraform] 'Incomplete lock file information for providers' / provider install fails on another OS/arch — .terraform.lock.hcl only has checksums for the platform where init ran
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Run `terraform providers lock` with a -platform flag for every platform that will run init (e.g. linux_amd64, darwin_arm64) and commit .terraform.lock.hcl.
Option: Pre-populate lock file hashes for all platforms [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Teams/CI on multiple OS/arch
Steps:
1. terraform providers lock -platform=linux_amd64 -platform=linux_arm64 -platform=darwin_arm64 -platform=windows_amd64
2. Review and commit .terraform.lock.hcl
Expected: init succeeds on all listed platforms
