# What this does
Dynamic parameters caches the `./terraform/modules` directory for parameter usage. What this PR does is send over this archive to the provisioner when building workspaces.
This allow terraform to skip downloading modules from their registries, a step that takes seconds.

# Wire protocol
The wire protocol reuses the same mechanism used to download the modules `provisoner -> coder`. It splits up large archives into multiple protobuf messages so larger archives can be sent under the message size limit.
# 🚨 Behavior Change (Breaking Change) 🚨
**Before this PR** modules were downloaded on every workspace build. This means unpinned modules always fetched the latest version
**After this PR** modules are cached at template import time, and their versions are effectively pinned for all subsequent workspace builds.
Upgrades to slog v3 which includes a small, but backward incompatible API change to the acceptible call arguments when logging. This change allows us to verify via compile time type checking that arguments are correct and won't cause a panic, as was possible in slog v1, which this replaces (v2 was tagged but never used in coder/coder).
It also updates dependencies that also use slog and were updated.
I've left the `aibridge` dependency as a commit SHA, under the assumption that the team there (cc @pawbana @dannykopping ) will tag and update the dependency soon and on their own schedule.
Other dependencies, I pushed new tags.
Provisioner steps broken into smaller granular actions.
Changes:
- `ExtractArchive` moved to `init` request (was in `configure`)
- Writing `tfstate` moved to `plan` (was in `configure`)
- Moved most plan/apply outputs to `GraphComplete`
Prior to this, every workspace build ran `terraform init` in a fresh
directory. This would mean the `modules` are downloaded fresh. If the
module is not pinned, subsequent workspace builds would have different
modules.
Refactors all Terraform file path logic into a centralized tfpath package. This consolidates all path construction into a single, testable Layout type.
Instead of passing around `string` for directories, pass around the `Layout` which has the file location methods on it.
