Detect an out-of-band resize and reconcile actual infrastructure with configuration.

The Challenge

Incident: api-prod was provisioned from Terraform as a medium instance, but an operator resized it to xlarge directly in FakeCloud. Terraform state and the provider's actual backend now disagree.

In /home/labuser/terraform-lab, run a refresh-aware terraform plan, read the drift report, and apply the declared configuration to restore the instance to medium. Finish with a clean no-change plan, then run check.
