Avm.Authoring

0.10.4

Cross-platform PowerShell 7 CLI that consolidates the authoring and CI tooling for Azure Verified Modules (https://aka.ms/avm). A single avm command (alias: avm) works across both ecosystems and ships: environment diagnostics (avm version, avm doctor); a checksum-pinned managed-tool resolver (avm tool list/which/install) that downloads and verifies the exact terraform
Cross-platform PowerShell 7 CLI that consolidates the authoring and CI tooling for Azure Verified Modules (https://aka.ms/avm). A single avm command (alias: avm) works across both ecosystems and ships: environment diagnostics (avm version, avm doctor); a checksum-pinned managed-tool resolver (avm tool list/which/install) that downloads and verifies the exact terraform, terraform-docs, tflint, conftest and mapotf binaries a module needs; and a fully wired Terraform authoring chain - avm pre-commit fixes and checks a module locally (convention checks, HCL transforms via mapotf, terraform fmt and terraform-docs) while avm pr-check adds tflint, APRL/AVMSEC policy checks and terraform validate. No Docker, make or porch required. The Bicep facade is in active development. Requires PowerShell 7.4+ (Core). See https://github.com/Azure/azure-verified-modules-tools for status and docs.

Release Notes

### Changed

- `no_entire_resource_output_tffr2` joins `Get-AvmDeferredAzapiRule` as a third family, so it is reported as a non-failing notice with file and line instead of failing the lint gate. Like the AzAPI families, it was dormant until 0.10.0 dropped `disabled_by_default` and flipped TFLint from allow-list to deny-list semantics. A scan of 205 non-archived AVM Terraform module repositories found 79 with at least one whole-resource output and only 2 suppressing the rule locally, so it blocks 77 repositories — roughly 38% of the fleet — across at least 123 individual violations. 61 of those violations are a single output named `resource`, which is a copy-pasted convention rather than scattered mistakes. The spec point, TFFR2, is tagged `Severity-SHOULD`, but the ruleset reports it as an error because almost every rule inherits `tflint.DefaultRule`; satisfying it means removing public outputs, which is a breaking change per module. The rule stays enabled, so new violations still surface. See [#80](https://github.com/Azure/azure-verified-modules-tools/issues/80); enforcement returns once the output burn-down lands, independently of the AzAPI migrations.
