Expected Behavior
The github_organization_repository_role resource should be created successfully on the first terraform apply and tracked correctly in state, allowing subsequent applies to be idempotent.
Actual Behavior
On the first apply, Terraform fails with: Provider produced inconsistent result after apply: Root object was present, but now absent. Despite the error, the role is actually created in GitHub.
A second apply fails with: 422 Name has already been taken
because Terraform attempts to recreate the role it failed to record in state.
