At what point in the Terraform workflow are Sentinel (or similar policy-as-code) checks evaluated, and why does that timing matter?
Policy checks evaluate against the plan, the output of `terraform plan`, before `terraform apply` actually provisions anything, which means a policy violation blocks the run from proceeding to apply at all. Evaluating against the plan rather than the already-applied state is what makes this a preventive control instead of a detective one; the non-compliant resource is stopped before it exists, not flagged for cleanup afterward once it's already live and potentially already been exploited or has already incurred cost.
