LocalStack Terraform state drift requires complete infrastructure teardown

How to detect:
After initial tflocal apply, LocalStack modifies deployed resources (ALB port, ECS deployment parameters). Subsequent terraform operations detect drift and cause service breakage. No incremental repair is possible.
Recommended action:
Tear down the entire LocalStack instance and infrastructure stack, then redeploy from scratch. Use terraform destroy or equivalent to remove all resources before restarting LocalStack.
