Nonsensitive function fails in Terraform

The article details a specific Terraform issue where using the nonsensitive() function on an output fails, even when intended. It explains that when a sensitive value (like an Azure AD client secret) is inside a list created by a conditional resource (using count), the nonsensitive function only removes the outer list's sensitivity marker, not the inner value's, causing Terraform to error. It provides the technical reasoning and a look at the underlying data structure.
