Greptile Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive Terraform integration guide to the Infisical documentation. The changes include:

  1. Navigation Update: Adds documentation/guides/terraform to the docs.json file to make the new guide discoverable through the documentation website's navigation menu
  2. New Guide Creation: Creates a detailed terraform.mdx file with extensive examples covering Terraform integration with Infisical

The new guide is structured using accordion components and covers multiple aspects of Terraform usage with Infisical:

  • Bootstrap setup with ephemeral resources (requiring Terraform >= 1.10.0)
  • Project organization patterns
  • Static secrets management with practical code examples
  • Production-ready implementation patterns

The documentation follows modern Terraform best practices and provides copy-paste ready examples for common use cases. This fits well within Infisical's documentation ecosystem as a comprehensive getting-started guide that complements existing integration documentation.

PR Description Notes:

  • The PR description lacks a summary of changes and doesn't describe what was added
  • The Tests section is empty with only placeholder content
  • No mention of the comprehensive nature of the guide or its key features

Confidence score: 3/5

• This PR has documentation issues that should be addressed before merging
• The guide content appears solid but has structural problems and typos that need fixing
• Files need attention: terraform.mdx (incomplete structure, spelling errors)

logic: File appears incomplete - the AccordionGroup started on line 44 is never closed. This will likely cause rendering issues in the documentation.

Greptile Summary

This PR provides a comprehensive update to the Terraform integration guide for Infisical. The changes transform a basic guide into a production-ready implementation reference that covers the full spectrum of Terraform provider capabilities.

Key improvements include:

  • Restructured organization: Moves "What It Covers" section to the top for better user orientation and creates a logical flow from quick start to advanced features
  • Enhanced security practices: Removes legacy service token authentication in favor of more secure machine identity methods
  • Comprehensive feature coverage: Adds extensive sections on app connections, dynamic secrets, secret rotation, secret syncing, and access controls with real-world examples
  • Production-ready examples: Provides copy-paste ready code snippets for enterprise features and complex use cases
  • Better user guidance: Includes detailed prerequisites, best practices, and troubleshooting information

The guide now serves as a complete reference for teams implementing Terraform with Infisical in production environments, addressing user feedback for more comprehensive examples and better organization of complex provider capabilities.

Confidence score: 1/5

• This PR has a critical structural issue that will break documentation rendering
• The AccordionGroup opened on line 41 is never closed, causing the entire document structure to be malformed
• Files need attention: terraform.mdx (incomplete AccordionGroup structure must be fixed)

what is the motivation behind this guide? it looks like it is going over generic resources and showing how to set it up which normal TF docs already do here https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Infisical/infisical/latest/docs? are you finding that users are struggling to connect the dots between individual resources?

one of the concerns i have with redundancy between this and the main TF docs is that it will quickly become stale since we'd have to update there and here

```tf
# Required versions
terraform >= 1.10.0 # For ephemeral resources support
infisical >= 0.4.0 # Latest provider features
