This helps when diagnosing cycle errors. This option is supported only when selecting one of the real graph operaton types using the -type=... option. What good is that option if it errors on a cycle ### References https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77960427/cannot-draw-terrform-cycle-with-colors-using-terraform-graph-with-plan-output
