Hey, so I have another custom-provider related question. I'm saving my API token in the provider config. Trouble is, the provider gets recreated along with all it's resources when I need to update that token. From what I've gathered from <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-go-provider/issues/409|this issue> it seems I need to "implement DiffConfig", but I'm unsure on how to do that. I see no mentions of DiffConfig in the documentation, nor in example or even real world providers.

This DiffConfig? <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-go-provider/blob/06cebfac49a32ae88871f555e222a9b507e96123/provider.go#L730>

And if you need to make a change once and not cause a global replacement, the pattern is:
• Create a 2nd provider with the new config and `pulumi up` it.
• Export the stack state (and back it up).
• Search and replace all uses of the old provider URN with the new provider URN.
• Import the stack state.

yup, that one :slightly_smiling_face: . Might be useful to add some extra documentation for those on
