init fails with "...hashicorp/aws: the previously-selected version 4.15.1 is no longer available"

Similar to #49 - with a fresh clone (as of af9294ca38741185c566b94c9b81a99241e2ba71), I'm getting a hashicorp/aws-related error with init

If I try terraform init -upgrade, I get

I'm on terraform v1.2.7

It's an issue with my environment. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I couldn't reproduce it on another machine or with another user on the same machine.

In my case, I had an old version of hashicorp/aws cached in ~/Library/Application Support/io.terraform/plugins/registry.terraform.io that was overriding external lookup of all things registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws.

Removing the conflicting cached files allowed a successful terraform init Closing.
