A team manages a large Terraform codebase with multiple modules. They are planning to upgrade the AzureRM provider from v3 to v4, which has breaking changes. They want to minimize the risk of unexpected failures. They have already updated the version constraint in the root module's `required_providers` block. What additional step should they take to ensure a smooth upgrade?

Update the version constraint in every module's `required_providers` block.

Run `terraform apply` directly to see if the upgrade works.

Delete the `.terraform.lock.hcl` file and run `terraform init`.

Run `terraform init -upgrade` and then `terraform plan` in each module directory to identify breaking changes.

A team is migrating from a community provider to an official HashiCorp provider for the same service. The community provider is `community/example` and the official one is `hashicorp/example`. They have updated the `required_providers` block to use `source = "hashicorp/example"`. What else must they consider?

They only need to run `terraform init -upgrade` to switch providers.

They must delete the `.terraform` directory and reinitialize.

They must update all resource blocks to use the new provider source.

The state file will need to be migrated because the provider source is part of the resource address.

A team wants to use a provider that is not in the public Terraform Registry. They have a private registry at `registry.internal.example`. The provider is named `custom` and is in the namespace `corp`. What is the correct `source` value in the `required_providers` block?

`registry.internal.example/custom`

`registry.internal.example/corp/custom`
