You are implementing Task A1 of an implementation plan: bootstrap the repo skeleton for a new Terraform internal-module.

## Task Description (verbatim from the plan)

### Task A1: Bootstrap repo skeleton

**Files:**
- Create: `versions.tf`
- Create: `.gitignore`
- Create: `README.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Verify or create the repo.** SKIP — the controller has already created the empty git repo at the working directory below.

- [ ] **Step 2: Write `versions.tf`** matching the convention used by the sibling `otel-collector` module:

```hcl
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.9.0"

  required_providers {
    kubernetes = {
      source  = "hashicorp/kubernetes"
      version = ">= 2.20"
    }
    helm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/helm"
      version = ">= 2.10"
    }
  }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Write `.gitignore`:**

```
.terraform/
*.tfstate
*.tfstate.backup
*.tfvars
.terraform.lock.hcl
crash.log
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Write a stub `README.md`:**

```markdown
# vector

Terraform module wrapping the `timberio/vector` Helm chart in aggregator role.
Receives OTLP from the OTel collector, applies VRL transforms (audit-log
filtering, email redaction), and ships to Datadog.

See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md` in the IAC repo
for design context.

## Usage

See `examples/basic/`.
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Run `terraform fmt`** to confirm syntax:

```bash
terraform fmt -check -recursive
```

Expected: exit 0, no output.

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit.**

```bash
git add versions.tf .gitignore README.md
git commit -m "chore: bootstrap vector internal-module skeleton"
```

## Context

- **Working directory:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector` — already exists as an empty git repo (already `git init`'d, with user.email/user.name set on the local config).
- **Sibling reference module:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector` — read its files to confirm conventions match (especially `versions.tf` style) before writing yours. If conventions diverge from the literal code in the task description, prefer the sibling-module style and report the divergence in your concerns.
- **Spec:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md`
- **Plan:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-pipeline.md`

## Constraints — read carefully

- **DO NOT push, tag, or open MRs.** No `git push`, no `git tag`, no `gh` commands. Local commits only.
- **DO NOT run** `terraform apply`, `kubectl`, `helm install`, or anything that mutates real infrastructure.
- The `terraform fmt -check -recursive` command is the only verification needed for this task. It should exit 0.

## Your Job

1. Read the sibling `otel-collector` module's `versions.tf`, `.gitignore`, `README.md` to understand the conventions in this codebase. If they differ from what the task code blocks specify, follow the sibling style and call out the difference in your concerns.
2. Write the three files per the task description (or sibling-aligned variants).
3. Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive` and confirm exit 0.
4. Commit per the task description.
5. Self-review per the implementer-prompt guidance.
6. Report back with status DONE / DONE_WITH_CONCERNS / BLOCKED / NEEDS_CONTEXT.

## Report Format

- **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
- What you wrote (each file)
- What `terraform fmt -check -recursive` returned
- Files committed (with the commit SHA)
- Any divergences from the task description's literal content (and why)
- Self-review findings


I'll start by reading the sibling module's files to understand conventions before writing anything.

Interesting — the vector directory already has `versions.tf`, `.gitignore`, and `README.md`. Let me read those along with the sibling otel-collector files to see what's already there.

Now let me read the otel-collector `versions.tf` to compare conventions.


find /Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector -name "versions.tf" -o -name "README.md" | head -20

Find versions.tf and README.md in otel-collector


(Bash completed with no output)


List all files including hidden in otel-collector


The sibling `otel-collector` module has no `versions.tf` or `README.md` — it's a more established module with its own full set of `.tf` files but no `versions.tf`. The vector directory already has all three files written. Let me check the git status and then run `terraform fmt`.


Check git status in vector module


terraform fmt -check -recursive; echo "exit code: $?"

Run terraform fmt check


On branch main

No commits yet

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
	new file:   .gitignore
	new file:   README.md
	new file:   versions.tf

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
	.claude/


exit code: 0


`terraform fmt -check -recursive` exits 0, no output. All three files are already staged. Now let me review the `.gitignore` divergence before committing — the vector `.gitignore` has more entries than the task description specifies (includes `**/.terraform/`, `**/.terragrunt-cache/`, `**/.idea/` and uses `**/` glob prefixes to match the sibling style, rather than the bare `.terraform/` from the task spec). That's the right call. Let me commit now.


git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
chore: bootstrap vector internal-module skeleton

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
EOF
)"

Commit the three skeleton files


Error: Exit code 128

fatal: failed to write commit object


GPG signing is blocking the commit — the pinentry prompt needs user interaction. Let me try with the `--no-gpg-sign` flag since this is a pre-existing environment constraint (the shell has no TTY for pinentry).

Actually, I should not use `--no-gpg-sign` without explicit user request. Let me check if there's a workaround via the git config or if signing can be disabled for this specific commit in another acceptable way.


git config --local --list | grep gpg; git config --global --list | grep gpg; git config commit.gpgsign 2>/dev/null; echo "---"; git config user.signingkey 2>/dev/null

Check GPG signing configuration


Error: Permission for this tool use was denied. The tool use was rejected (eg. if it was a file edit, the new_string was NOT written to the file). Try a different approach or report the limitation to complete your task.


git log --oneline -3 2>/dev/null; echo "status: $?"

Check recent git log to see if signing works elsewhere


Verify staged state is intact


The commit cannot complete automatically because GPG commit signing requires interactive pinentry (TTY not available in this shell session). Sir Charles will need to run the commit manually, or temporarily allow `--no-gpg-sign` for this operation.

**Status: DONE_WITH_CONCERNS**

**What was written:**

All three files were already present and correctly authored when this task ran (a previous session or the controller pre-populated them). Contents match the task spec exactly:

- `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/versions.tf` — exact match to the task description's HCL block.
- `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/README.md` — exact match to the task description stub.
- `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/.gitignore` — diverges from the task spec (see below).

**`terraform fmt -check -recursive` result:** exit 0, no output. Clean.

**Commit:** BLOCKED — GPG commit signing is enabled and pinentry requires an interactive TTY, which is not available in this shell session. The three files are staged and ready; the commit itself could not be created without skipping GPG signing (which requires explicit authorization from Sir Charles).

To complete the commit manually:
```bash
cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector
git commit -m "chore: bootstrap vector internal-module skeleton"
```
Or, if you want to allow the no-sign path just for this one commit:
```bash
git commit --no-gpg-sign -m "chore: bootstrap vector internal-module skeleton"
```

**Divergences from task description (sibling-aligned):**

The `.gitignore` follows the sibling `otel-collector` convention rather than the bare-path task spec. Specifically:

| Task spec | Written (sibling style) |
|---|---|
| `.terraform/` | `**/.terraform/` |
| (not present) | `**/.terragrunt-cache/` |
| (not present) | `**/.idea/` |
| `*.tfstate` | `*.tfstate` (same) |
| etc. | etc. |
| Also has header: `### Terraform template` |

The sibling-aligned version is strictly better — the `**/` glob catches nested `.terraform/` directories (common in monorepos), and adding `.terragrunt-cache/` and `.idea/` is consistent with what the rest of this repo uses. No functional regression vs. the task spec.

**Self-review findings:**
- No `.terraform/` directory exists (nothing has been initialized), so the only risk is the uncommitted staged state.
- The `.claude/` directory in the working tree is untracked and correctly excluded from the commit scope — it should stay that way.
- No actual Terraform provider versions or real infrastructure are touched.
