Creates test stacks, analyzes CloudFormation events, and compares actual vs documented update behavior to validate whether resource property changes trigger replacement or in-place updates. Use when: a user wants to test if a CFN property change causes resource replacement; when investigating stack update behavior or "Update requires" documentation accuracy; when validating whether a workaround (e.g. hash-based logical IDs) is actually necessary; when questioning UpdateRequiresReplacement behavior for immutable properties; when empirical evidence is needed before an architectural decision involving CDK or CloudFormation stack updates.
