Walkthrough

This PR updates a developer guide on managing Kinde configuration as code. It refreshes the introduction to emphasize repeatable setup, expands JavaScript seeding instructions with execution details, adds comprehensive Terraform IaC coverage (community provider and local-exec approaches), introduces GitHub Actions automation for environment-specific seeding, and refreshes verification and FAQ sections with updated guidance.

Changes

Configuration-as-Code Guide Expansion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guide frontmatter and introduction
src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/manage-kinde-configuration.mdx
Frontmatter metadata (title, sidebar label, TOC settings) and guide introduction are refreshed to emphasize isolated dev/staging/prod environments and repeatable Management API-based configuration seeding.
JavaScript seeding script instructions
src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/manage-kinde-configuration.mdx
JavaScript seeding instructions are reorganized with added notes on optional scope properties, config file creation, and a dedicated numbered execution step that includes terminal output blocks.
Terraform Infrastructure as Code approaches
src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/manage-kinde-configuration.mdx
Terraform IaC section expands to cover two options: Option 1 using community Kinde provider with resource examples and workspace isolation; Option 2 invoking the Node seed script via Terraform null_resource and local-exec with environment variable mapping.
GitHub Actions CI automation
src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/manage-kinde-configuration.mdx
GitHub Actions section is added with a seed-kinde.yml workflow_dispatch workflow to trigger seeding per environment, along with instructions for configuring repository secrets and viewing workflow execution logs.
Verification and FAQ updates
src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/manage-kinde-configuration.mdx
Dashboard verification subsections are updated to describe what gets created, FAQs are revised to clarify limitations and scope of configuration-as-code coverage, and Free-plan environment limits are refreshed.

586-586: 💤 Low value

Unused environment variable in local-exec.

KINDE_ENV is set to terraform.workspace but the seed script doesn't reference this variable. If it's intended for logging or future use, consider adding a comment explaining its purpose. Otherwise, remove it to avoid confusion.

line 586, The KINDE_ENV environment variable is being exported in the local-exec
block but never used by the seed script; either remove the KINDE_ENV =
terraform.workspace assignment or document its intent. Locate the local-exec
block that sets KINDE_ENV and either delete that line (if unused) or add a
clarifying comment near KINDE_ENV explaining it's reserved for logging/future
use and ensure the seed script (the seed script invoked by local-exec) reads it
if intended (e.g., reference KINDE_ENV inside the seed script). Make the change
consistent with how other env vars are handled in the same local-exec block.

316-318: 💤 Low value

Consider clarifying scope vs scopes terminology.

The aside mentions "scope property" but the context involves the KINDE_SCOPES environment variable (plural). In the script, line 102 uses scope: KINDE_SCOPES (singular key) for the OAuth request, which is correct. Consider rewording to: "The KINDE_SCOPES environment variable lets you define a subset of scopes..." to avoid confusion between the OAuth parameter name and the environment variable.

parameter (e.g., scope: KINDE_SCOPES) to avoid confusion between the env var and
the OAuth key.

539-596: ⚡ Quick win

Clarify workspace workflow for multiple environments.

The guide creates a staging workspace at line 552 but doesn't explain how to seed other environments (dev, prod). Users may not understand they need to run terraform workspace select dev before terraform apply for each environment.

📝 Suggested addition after step 7

Add a note:

**To seed other environments:**

Switch workspace before applying:
```bash
terraform workspace select dev
terraform apply

terraform workspace select prod  
terraform apply

Each workspace uses its corresponding config file: ./config/${workspace}.json
