Spent several days switching backdoor scripts to `experimental_shell_command` only to be reminded when building a docker image that it doesn't generate resources, it generates files :sob:

That's what started my proposal, it's just been so long since I had to remember this fact

not at all satisfying, but you could I suppose add your own `shell_command` plugin that generates resources

or upstream a PR that lets users choose, as a short term gross workaround

I've been meaning to propose a rename anyways

intermediate target types to convert `files` to `resources` and vice versa would be a useful stopgap.

This is `config` and his... Uh alter-ego `config-resource`

mm… i think i might not have seen that iteration of the document… which one is this?

Admittedly it still needs some thought and polish in a few areas. And honestly I have no idea how we'd implement it and roll it out incrementally with volunteering effort :disappointed:
