Advanced AI Prompt for Automating Terraform Cloud State Management via API

Act as a DevTools Automation Engineer. Write a robust script (Python or Node.js) that interacts exclusively with the Terraform Cloud (TFC) REST API to programmatically manage state for the [TFC_ORG] organization and [TFC_WORKSPACE] workspace. The script must securely pass the [API_TOKEN] via bearer headers and execute the following sequence: 1) Query the `/api/v2/workspaces` endpoint to fetch the current active state version. 2) Download the raw JSON state file. 3) Push/upload a newly modified state version back to TFC. 4) Execute an API call to forcibly lock, and subsequently unlock, the workspace. Write a technical summary justifying the use of API state management (e.g., custom CI/CD integrations, centralized disaster recovery) over the standard Terraform CLI.
