Upstream Patches

---
name: upstream-patches
description: Create, amend, remove, and rebase patches for Terraform provider submodules using `./scripts/upstream.sh`. Use when `upgrade-provider` or manual patch work needs owning-patch lookup, patch conflict fixes, patch/hunk removal, or upstream rebase.

# Upstream Patches

`upstream/` is a git submodule pointing to the upstream Terraform provider. `patches/` contains patch files applied on top of it. Use `./scripts/upstream.sh` to manage patch state.

## Default Behavior

- If fixing a regression introduced by an existing patch, amend the owning patch commit.
- Do not create a new patch unless the user explicitly asks.
