Dynamic PostgreSQL Credentials with the Root Password Rotated Away

The credential Vault connects with is still a password somebody knows until Vault rotates it; a role with no max TTL issues credentials that renew forever; and creation statements are the privilege, so a careless one is a superuser factory.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.
