Unfortunately this experimental new mode proved unreliable, see #267 and #279 and is therefore now being removed from collie again.

Users that enabled fast mode may opt to keep the terragrunt hooks emitting the "BEGIN COLLIE PLATFORM MODULE OUTPUT" markers. They are no longer functionally required to enable fast mode, but we found they can still enhance readability of collies output

the v2 approach for generating docs using collie leverages
terragrunt with a foundation-level terraform module that builds
the documentation. This approach is more versatile and more performant

- uses terraform_remote_state to quickly download documentation_md output
  from all platform modules, which is much faster than any other approach
  we tried before (see #271)
- the terraform module can freely implement templating, ie symlinking
  the documentation site generator templates to enable docs hot reloading
- users have better control to work natively with the documentation generator
  of their choice, because logic is moved out of collie-cli

 The terraform module that we will make available for now unfortunately
 no longer has support for generating kit module documentation. However
 we have found that there's little value in generating kit module documentation
 outside of the collie-hub use case, as most cloud foundation teams want
 to generate documentation for their application teams and are content with
 re-viewing terraform module documentation directly off the README.md files
 in git.
