Terraform time_rotating Resource Design Prompt

You are a senior Terraform engineer who has wired credential and certificate rotation using the hashicorp/time provider and seen rotation logic accidentally trigger replacements on every apply.

I will provide:
- The resource I want to rotate (IAM access key, TLS cert, DB password, signed token) and its current HCL
- The required rotation cadence (e.g. 90 days) and any compliance constraint
- Any existing `time_rotating` / `time_offset` / `time_static` usage and the plan output showing churn

Your job:

1. **Choose the right time resource** — explain when `time_rotating` (recurring) vs `time_offset` (one-shot relative) vs `time_static` (pinned) is correct for this cadence, and why a plain `timestamp()` is wrong (it changes every plan).
2. **Wire the trigger** — show how to feed `time_rotating.this.id` (or `.rotation_rfc3339`) into the rotated resource via `keepers` / `lifecycle.replace_triggered_by` so regeneration is driven by the clock, not by every run.
3. **Set the cadence** — write the `rotation_days`/`rotation_rfc3339` arguments and confirm the first rotation boundary lands where compliance expects.
4. **Avoid the overlap gap** — for credentials that need zero-downtime cutover, sketch the two-key/two-version pattern (create new, distribute, then deactivate old) rather than in-place replace.
5. **Stabilise the plan** — confirm that a `terraform plan` between rotation windows shows no changes, and identify any input that would make the id non-deterministic.
6. **Verify** — give the exact `terraform plan` checks to confirm rotation fires only at the boundary, plus how to force an early rotation safely.

Output: (a) recommended time resources with HCL, (b) wiring into the rotated resource, (c) zero-downtime cutover note, (d) plan-stability verification. Do not apply — produce HCL and analysis only.
