tenv, An OpenTofu Installed, Signature-Checked, And Run
tenv on EL 10 from the GitHub release; get_url refuses it unless its SHA-256 is in the vendor's checksums file, and the live test re-checks it, then has tenv tofu install fetch OpenTofu 1.8.7 (the OpenPGP check runs when cosign is absent), lists it and runs it. Shims are opt-in so nothing shadows the host's tofu. Pinned. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Documentation
tenv
tofuutils tenv on EL 10 from the vendor's release, checked against the
published SHA-256, pinned to a version, installed as root's binary
in /usr/local/bin. Original role for EL 10, live-tested with podman on
Rocky Linux 10.
No package worth the name. EL 10 carries no tenv, and a
third-party repository is one more key to trust. This role takes the
release from github.com/tofuutils/tenv, has Ansible's get_url refuse the asset unless
its SHA-256 is the published one, and the live test checks the asset on
disk against the same published value again.
Pinned. tenv_version is what gets installed, kept in a directory
of its own so the checksum file and the asset it names stay together. A
newer release is a variable change and a run; the same version is
changed=0.
Proven to run. The live test runs tenv tofu install 1.8.7 and expects
"Installation of OpenTofu 1.8.7 successful" - the binary ran all the way to the point where it
needed something this host does not have.
An OpenTofu installed through tenv, signature-checked, and run.
The live test gives tenv a TENV_ROOT of its own and has tenv tofu install 1.8.7 fetch OpenTofu: with no cosign on the host tenv falls back to the
OpenPGP check (it fetches the SHA256SUMS signature and OpenTofu's key,
which the test expects to see in the output), tenv tofu list names the
version, and the binary under TENV_ROOT answers OpenTofu v1.8.7. The
shims are opt-in (tenv_shims), so the role never shadows the opentofu
or terraform-cli roles in this catalogue.

Related modules
ansible-atmos
atmos on EL 10 from the GitHub release, get_url refuses it unless its SHA-256 is the one in the vendor's SHA256SUMS, and the live test re-checks it, then writes an atmos.yaml, a stack and a component, validates the stacks and describes the component with no Terraform installed. Pinned. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-checkov
Checkov pinned in /opt/checkov, a virtual environment apart from the system Python. The live test runs pip check, scans a one-resource module with the built-in checks and --skip-download and expects a 'Failed checks:' summary with no network, and asserts the system Python cannot import it. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-conftest
conftest on EL 10 from the GitHub release, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in the project's checksums.txt, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test, which then writes a one-rule Rego v1 policy and a one-line document, runs conftest test and expects the denial in the report. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-consul-cli
consul on EL 10 from releases.hashicorp.com: the client binary, not a server. HashiCorp's key lives in a GnuPG home of its own, pinned by fingerprint; the SHA256SUMS signature is verified before get_url checks the zip against that file, and the live test verifies it again, then runs consul members against nothing and expects the refused connection. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-gh-cli
gh on EL 10 from the release tarball, refused by Ansible's get_url unless its SHA-256 is the one in GitHub's checksums file, and re-checked with sha256sum -c by the live test; one more file to trust and no more repositories. Tokens are per user; gh auth status with none stops at 'not logged into any GitHub hosts', the live test's proof the client ran. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
ansible-glab
glab on EL 10 from the GitLab-hosted release, get_url refuses it unless its SHA-256 is the one in the vendor's checksums file, and the live test re-checks it, then runs auth status to the 401 gitlab.com returns and round-trips a config value offline. Pinned. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
