…lstk Sweeps the AWS docs for lingering references to the legacy `localstack` CLI and the `awslocal`/`tflocal`/`cdklocal` wrapper scripts that have lstk equivalents: - getting-started/faq.mdx: `localstack start`/`localstack --version` commands. Left the `--debug` flag and `auth show-token` mentions alone, since lstk has no documented equivalent for either. - getting-started/ci-cd.mdx: rewrote the CI provider tabs to mirror the already-migrated per-provider guides under /aws/ci-pipelines/. - services/elb.mdx: GATEWAY_LISTEN startup example now uses LOCALSTACK_GATEWAY_LISTEN with lstk start. - security-testing/iam-policy-simulator.md and iam-policy-enforcement.md, developer-tools/aws-replicator/index.mdx, quickstart-library/k8s-quickstart.md, getting-started/local-development.mdx, getting-started/ai-workflows.mdx: awslocal/tflocal -> lstk aws/lstk terraform. Left tutorials/ephemeral-application-previews.mdx untouched: it documents Ephemeral Instances, which the lstk migration guide lists as not yet supported by lstk, so its awslocal/cdklocal usage is still correct.

For me this doesn't forward the environment variable in the LocalStack container. You probably have to use a lstk config file to achieve this.

Summary
Sweeps the AWS docs for remaining mentions of the legacy
localstackCLI and theawslocal/tflocal/cdklocalwrapper scripts that havelstkequivalents:localstack start/localstack --version→lstk start/lstk --version. Left the host-side--debugflag andlocalstack auth show-tokenalone — neither has a documentedlstkequivalent./aws/ci-pipelines/.GATEWAY_LISTEN=... localstack startexample now usesLOCALSTACK_GATEWAY_LISTEN=... lstk start, matching howlstk startforwardsLOCALSTACK_-prefixed host env vars into the container.awslocal/tflocal→lstk aws/lstk terraform.Deliberately left unchanged:
tutorials/ephemeral-application-previews.mdx. The ticket flagged itsawslocal/cdklocalmentions, but the whole tutorial documents Ephemeral Instances, which the lstk migration guide explicitly lists as not yet supported bylstk(thelocalstackCLI is still required). Converting those mentions would document a workflow that doesn't actually work. cc @mmaureenliuLinear ticket
