Hey all, got a quick question. Say we run `pulumi preview`  with `--target`  flags. If a resource is not in the targets list and is not in the dependency path, will its state still be read? I know its state is not included in the CLI output but I'm wondering if it is read at all.

After scanning the code I see the state from the last snapshot is read but it's unclear if the resource state in the cloud provider is read

I mean even if it was targeted a preview doesn't read any cloud state by default
