Add OpenTofu counterparts of terraform_docs and terraform_validate. tofu_docs generates module READMEs with terraform-docs, and tofu_validate runs tofu validate in each changed module directory, running tofu init -backend=false first when needed. tofu_validate also matches *.tofu.json files.

Both are POSIX shell scripts, so on Windows they need a POSIX shell, like their Terraform counterparts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the Windows shell guidance to include tofu_validate among builtins that require a POSIX shell.

### Shell commands on Windows

On Windows, a string command runs through `cmd.exe` unless the step sets `shell`. A command that is a plain program with arguments behaves the same there, but POSIX shell syntax such as `$(...)`, `for` loops, `[ ... ]`, `trap`, or `/dev/null` does not. A few builtins are written as POSIX scripts and need a POSIX shell on Windows: `go_fmt`, `go_imports`, `jq`, `pkl`, `terraform_docs`, `terraform_validate`, `terragrunt_hcl_fmt`, `terragrunt_hcl_validate`, `tf_lint`, `typos`, and `yq`. `just_format` also needs a POSIX shell, with `xargs`, and `nix_fmt` has no Windows commands. Other builtins run as they are.

Update the pirate variant stamp.

tofu_validate is already present in docs/pirate/configuration.md. The variant's sourceHash is unchanged, so stamp it against the updated English page:

cd docs && node .vitepress/pirate-pages.mjs stamp configuration.md

P2 JSON changes skip documentation

tofu_docs never runs when only *.tf.json or *.tofu.json files change because neither matches this glob. Both are configuration files recognized by the new tofu_validate builtin. Add these patterns so JSON-only changes also trigger README checks and updates.

Suggested change
glob = List("**/*.tf", "**/*.tofu", "**/.terraform.lock.hcl")
glob = List("**/*.tf", "**/*.tf.json", "**/*.tofu", "**/*.tofu.json", "**/.terraform.lock.hcl")

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

P2 Native files lack test coverage

Every tofu_docs test writes main.tf, so none checks whether terraform-docs reads the newly matched *.tofu files. Add a test using main.tofu and assert that its variable appears in the generated README. Checking only the exit code or checking the README with the same command would miss silently omitted variables.
