Is there a way to determine what kind of operation pulumi is doing when it's running your code?  I have an `index.ts` file that pulumi is running but when I do a `pulumi up`  I want to know whether the current run of the code is because of `pulumi refresh` or `pulumi deploy`  for example

Your code isn't run during a refresh or destroy.

You can use pulumi.isDryRun() to determine if it's a preview or up.

sorry i typed `refresh` and `deploy` but meant `preview` vs. `update` . isDryRun seems like it's the answer
