Description (required)

Adds docs for the newly published Kinde Terraform provider (kinde-oss/kinde v0.1.0).

  • New guide: Manage Kinde with the Terraform provider (developer-tools/guides/terraform-provider.mdx) - M2M setup and required scopes, install/auth, first apply, users/orgs/roles, connections, import (incl. composite IDs), multi-environment, FAQs.
  • Config-as-code page: replaces the stale community axatol/kinde 0.0.1 section with the official provider and links to the new guide.
  • Adds Terraform to the homepage SDK grid (sdkList.ts + official HashiCorp logomark icon), the SDK index, and About Kinde APIs.

Build and link validation pass locally.

Updates Terraform configuration guidance and adds provider references to API and SDK documentation. The guidance uses the maintained provider, version ~> 0.1, supported resources, and seed-script coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ff18a

The PR adds Terraform guidance, but the current guide still shows a client secret being entered on the command line and includes workflow instructions that can apply unintended configuration while overstating rollback behavior. Users could leak credentials or make unsafe changes, so the PR is not merge-ready until these instructions are corrected; provider pinning and resource ownership also need follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit checks each Terraform line,
With scopes and roles in neat design.
The provider guide now shows the way,
While links connect each page today.
Plans and state stay clear and bright.

In `@src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/manage-kinde-configuration.mdx`:
- Line 425: Update the Terraform options guidance to define ownership clearly:
Terraform owns applications, APIs, roles, and permissions, while the seed script
is limited to unsupported settings such as environment variables, feature flags,
and API scopes. Apply this clarification consistently in the combined-management
guidance and the corresponding Option 1 section.

In `@src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/terraform-provider.mdx`:
- Around line 429-430: Update the Terraform workflow steps so the plan command
saves its output to a plan file, and the apply command consumes that exact saved
plan instead of recalculating it; configure required reviewers for the prod
environment on the apply job or environment.
- Line 127: Update the Terraform provider version constraint in the documented
configuration from ~> 0.1 to ~> 0.1.0 so only patch updates within the 0.1
minor release are permitted.
- Line 363: Update the failed-creates documentation to state that rollback is
best effort and scoped to the resource: kinde_organization_user attempts to
remove a membership when role assignment fails, while kinde_user_role failures
do not undo an already-created membership. Advise users to run terraform plan
after an apply error before resuming or destroying remaining resources.

In `@src/data/sdkList.ts`:
- Around line 180-186: Update the Terraform entry in sdkList.ts to use the same
category as the Terraform entry in our-sdks.mdx, replacing the inconsistent
"Back end" type with the shared category value so both SDK surfaces place
Terraform in the same section.

Use the same Terraform category across SDK surfaces.

src/content/docs/developer-tools/about/our-sdks.mdx places Terraform under Other, but this entry sets type to "Back end". If sdkList.ts drives the SDK grid or filters, Terraform will appear in different sections. Set both surfaces to the same category.

- Line 76: Update the prose descriptions to hyphenate the compound modifiers:
use “machine-to-machine” at both referenced occurrences, and “back-end” and
“single-page” at the additional occurrence.
- Around line 114-118: Update the Terraform provider authentication example to
avoid placing KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET in a pasted shell command. Keep the non-secret
environment variables, and direct users to secret-manager or CI injection; for
local usage, provide a method that reads the secret without exposing it on the
command line.
