A team uses a module from the public registry with `version = ">= 1.0.0"`. They run `terraform init` and Terraform installs version 1.2.0. Later, they change the version constraint to `version = ">= 1.5.0"` and run `terraform init` without `-upgrade`. What will happen?

Terraform will fail because the lock file is incompatible with the new constraint.

Terraform will install the highest version available, such as 2.0.0.

Terraform will install version 1.5.0 or higher because the locked version no longer satisfies the constraint.

Terraform will keep using version 1.2.0 because the lock file is authoritative.

A developer is writing a Terraform configuration for a proof-of-concept. They have a module stored in a sibling directory named `modules/network` relative to their root module. They want to reference this module without publishing it to a registry or pushing it to a Git remote. Which module source string should they use?

source = "github.com/org/modules/network"

source = "registry.terraform.io/org/modules/network"

source = "file:///modules/network"
