`@pulumi/tailscale/TailnetKey` is the specific resource I’d like to _not_ store / recompute on each reference.

I can see how this may not be supported due to causing churn in state.

you probably can utilise something from `random` with `keepers` set to e.g. current timestamp.
Like, create a `random.RandomUuid` resource (which will be recreated every time the timestamp of the pulumi run changes - which means every `up`) and have your `TailnetKey`  either be a child of that UUID or depend on it.
wdyt?

I'm not familiar with those two packages, but from what you describe I can see how it would work. Thanks for the suggestion!

I actually ended up going a different route; though it's not necessarily what I'll stick to going forward. I ended up making the key reusable and having a longer shelf life. The prior settings had been my preferred production settings; and I was forcing myself to use them in a development context which was unnecessarily painful.
