BUG FIXES:
- `tofu show -json <planfile>` now works again when ephemeral resources are present in the configuration. ([4623](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/pull/4623)).
- Ephemeral output values are now always re-evaluated during the apply phase, instead of sometimes using stale values from the planning phase. ([#4582](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/issues/4582))
