Description

Explicit the influence of mock_outputs_merge_strategy_with_state when a state exists

Builds on feedback obtained in #4521

TODOs

Read the Gruntwork contribution guidelines.

  • I authored this code entirely myself
  • I am submitting code based on open source software (e.g. MIT, MPL-2.0, Apache)]
  • I am adding or upgrading a dependency or adapted code and confirm it has a compatible open source license
  • Update the docs.
  • Run the relevant tests successfully, including pre-commit checks : I ran the pre-commit hook but I have to admit I didn't run the docs toolchain as my change seems extremely minor and that stack isn't turnkey to run on my work laptop.
  • Include release notes. If this PR is backward incompatible, include a migration guide: I think it's not useful for documentation update

1245-1246: Refine wording for precision and flow

Small re-phrase makes the sentence crisper and removes the parenthetical pause.

-The value of `mock_outputs_merge_strategy_with_state` defines how mocks are combined (or not) with outputs from an
-existing state.
+The `mock_outputs_merge_strategy_with_state` attribute determines how mock outputs are combined—or deliberately
+not combined—with the outputs obtained from an existing state.

1255-1256: Tighten bullet text & apply “as-is” convention

Minor style/grammar tweaks while keeping semantics unchanged.

-  - `no_merge` (default) - any existing state will be used as is. If the dependency does not have an existing state (it
-    hasn't been applied yet), then the mocks will be used. If a state exists, then the mocks will not be used.
+  - `no_merge` (default) – use the existing state **as-is**. Mocks are used only when no state file is present
+    (e.g., the dependency has not been applied yet).
