 - **Secrets Manager** — Slack bot token
   - Migration note: the existing `meal-order-manager/form-api-key` secret remains until this change is deployed and verified, then must be deleted during post-deploy cleanup.
 - **CloudWatch Alarms** — coverage across the stack, all notifying the shared `site-alerts` SNS topic (see Monitoring)
+- **HCP Terraform** — workspace `meal-order-manager-prod` in project `seahaven-prod` is the sole apply path. Working directory `terraform/`. VCS file triggers use `trigger-patterns = [terraform/**/*, src/**/*, functions/**/*]` because `terraform/build_packages.sh` packages the shared layer from `src/shared` and the handlers from `functions/`. A `src/`-only or `functions/`-only merge must still queue a run. Do not `terraform apply` locally to prod.
