Martin Atkins	b802237e03	plans: Track an optional extra "reason" for some planned actions ... Previously we were repeating some logic in the UI layer in order to recover relevant additional context about a change to report to a user. In order to help keep things consistent, and to have a clearer path for adding more such things in the future, here we capture this user-facing idea of an "action reason" within the plan model, and then use that directly in order to decide how to describe the change to the user. For the moment the "tainted" situation is the only one that gets a special message, matching what we had before, but we can expand on this in future in order to give better feedback about the other replace situations too. This also preemptively includes the "replacing by request" reason, which is currently not reachable but will be used in the near future as part of implementing the -replace=... plan command line option to allow forcing a particular object to be replaced. So far we don't have any special reasons for anything other than replacing, which makes sense because replacing is the only one that is in a sense a special case of another action (Update), but this could expand to other kinds of reasons in the future, such as explaining which of the few different reasons a data source read might be deferred until the apply step.	5 years ago
