With manage_variables_by_yaml on, Buddy YAML owns the variables and UI edits get overwritten
If manage_variables_by_yaml is true on a pipeline, treat the YAML file as the single source of truth for variables: edits made in the Buddy UI will be overwritten by the YAML on the next sync, so they look saved and then mysteriously revert. Pick one owner and stick with it. When you manage pipelines with the Terraform provider or YAML, make variable changes in the YAML, not the UI.
Context from the original thread: Official docs (terraform-provider-buddy, buddy_pipeline resource): documents the ownership gotcha that trips agents managing Buddy pipelines as code. The manage_variables_by_yaml flag, when true, means pipeline variables are managed by the YAML definition. The same applies to manage_permissions_by_yaml for permissions.Maintainer review
