Run Terraform locally against Spacelift remote state without using private workers

We want to run plans or other commands against the remote state that Spacelift manages, we have to go through Spacectl and the private worker. That means a lot of development and testing work is also counted against our worker usage and P95, even when it is not production critical.

What we would like is a way to run Terraform locally, against the same remote state that Spacelift manages, without consuming private worker capacity. Think about the way Terraform Cloud or Terraform Enterprise let you use the CLI locally, still talking to remote state. Our ideal flow would be

• Developers run day to day commands locally, against Spacelift remote state

• Production and more critical workloads continue to run on the private workers

• We keep the same security model, audit and access control, just without having to push every single run through the workers

This would let us keep the worker focused on the important workloads, while still using Spacelift as the source of truth for state.
