Documentation Review

I've reviewed this WIP technical blog post on package installation. Here are my findings:

Issues Found

Line 21: TODO placeholder links

Two TODO placeholders need to be replaced with actual documentation links:

• Line 21: [plugins](TODO: docs page for source based plugins)
• Line 29: [source based plugins](TODO: docs page for source based plugins)

Suggestion: These should link to actual documentation. If the documentation doesn't exist yet, consider either creating it first or linking to general plugin documentation at /docs/iac/concepts/plugins/ or /docs/iac/packages-and-automation/pulumi-packages/.

Line 32: Typo - "then" should be "than"

Line 29: Actually delivering on that promise is harder then you might think

Actually delivering on that promise is harder than you might think, and it's all due to [source based plugins](TODO: docs page for source based plugins).

Line 84: Syntax error - extra backtick

Line 84: message: args.message,` has an extra backtick after the comma.

      message: args.message,

Line 180: Content appears incomplete

The section "Mutable DAG traversal" (line 174) ends with just "..." suggesting the content is unfinished. Since this is marked as WIP, this is expected, but it's the main technical content that readers will be looking for.

Positive Observations

• Clear structure: The progression from problem statement → anatomy → complexity → solution is logical
• Good use of examples: The TypeScript example effectively demonstrates the dependency chain
• Visual aids: Mermaid diagrams clearly illustrate the DAG concept
• Accurate technical content: The code snippets and technical explanations appear correct
• Proper frontmatter: All required fields are present (title, date, authors, meta_desc, meta_image)

Recommendations for Completion

1. Complete the "Mutable DAG traversal" section: This is the payoff section where you explain the actual algorithm implementation
2. Add a conclusion: Summarize key takeaways and perhaps mention performance improvements or future work
3. Replace TODO links: Either create the missing docs or link to existing plugin documentation
4. Consider adding: A brief introduction to what problem this solves for users (before diving into technical details)

Style Compliance

• ✅ Headings follow sentence case (H2+)
• ✅ Code examples are properly formatted
• ✅ Frontmatter is complete and correct
• ✅ Mermaid syntax is correct
• ✅ Links use proper Markdown format
• ✅ File will end with newline (confirmed from diff)

Once the content is complete and the TODOs are resolved, this will be a solid technical deep-dive that complements the user-facing documentation.
