Why is storing Terraform state locally a problem for a team, and what is the standard fix?
Local state is a single file on one person's machine, so another engineer can apply against stale or missing state and create conflicting changes. The standard fix is a remote backend that stores state centrally and supports locking. For the S3 backend, current Terraform supports native lock files with `use_lockfile = true`; DynamoDB-based locking is deprecated. The backend should also encrypt state and keep recoverable versions because state can contain sensitive values.
