 The docs for the `check` goal have been updated to state that third-party type stubs must be installed in the same resolve as the code.
 
+Deprecate the `--export-py-hermetic-scripts` option in favor of the new `--export-py-non-hermetic-scripts-in-resolve` option which allows configuring the hermetic scripts logic on a per-resolve basis.

 #### Terraform
 
 The default version of terraform has been updated from 1.7.1 to 1.9.0.
