  "how": {
    "incantation": "For targeted Run Queue discovery or execution, use Terragrunt’s unified `--filter` expressions for paths, files read, and dependency traversal. Use `--filters-file` for newline-delimited filters; a legacy excludes file needs conversion to filter expressions.",
    "examples": [
      "terragrunt find --filter '{./<path>}'",
      "terragrunt find --filter 'reading=<file>'",
      "terragrunt run --all --filters-file <filters.txt> -- <tofu-command>"

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v0.97.0",
      "Availability: The --filter flag is generally available; legacy queue flag aliases will not be removed before Terragrunt 1.0.",
      "--filter <expression>: Select units/stacks with a filter expression; repeat the flag to combine filters. Path inclusion uses `{./path}`, exclusion uses `!{./path}`, file-read matching uses `reading=<file>`, and graph traversal uses `...` around a target.",
      "--filters-file <file>: Read filter expressions from a newline-delimited text file; the docs show empty lines and `#` comment lines are ignored.",
      "reading=<file>: Attribute expression that matches units/stacks that read the named file.",
      "...: Graph traversal operator; after a target includes its dependencies, before a target includes its dependents. Both directions are supported by surrounding the target.",
      "Prerequisite: Terragrunt v0.97.0 or later for the generally available `--filter` flag.",
      "Prerequisite: Filters files contain newline-delimited expressions; the v0.97.0 release note says a `--queue-excludes-file` file does not directly translate to a `--filters-file` file.",
      "A file used for `--queue-excludes-file` does not directly translate to a file usable with `--filters-file`.",
      "Legacy queue flag aliases remain for backwards compatibility and will not emit deprecation warnings.",
      "Docs conflict: Current docs describe graph expressions as `...<target>` for dependents and `<target>...` for dependencies; this differs from the v0.97.0 release note’s `{./**}...` and `...{.}` examples. Use the release-note mappings for v0.97.0."
