Documentation Review

I've reviewed the new replacementTrigger documentation. Overall, this is well-structured and follows the repository's documentation patterns. However, I found several issues that need to be addressed:

Critical Issues

1. Missing trailing newline (line 105)
The file must end with a newline character. This is enforced by the repository's style guide and linting rules.

2. Missing YAML example
All other resource option documentation includes YAML examples. The YAML implementation should be added for completeness.

Code Quality Issues

3. Incomplete/placeholder code examples
The code examples use placeholder ellipses (...) which don't provide complete, runnable examples. Looking at other resource option docs like protect.md, examples should be complete and realistic.

4. Missing resource definition
The examples reference a KeyManagerResource that is not a real Pulumi resource. Other option docs use actual resources like Database, CustomResource, etc.

5. Python missing import (line 45)
The Python example uses datetime.now() without showing the import.

6. Java missing semicolon (line 72)
Line 72 in the Java example is missing a semicolon after the trigger variable declaration.

Style Issues

7. Inconsistent use of you (line 17)
The first paragraph says allows you to force but other resource option docs use more neutral language. Consider: The replacementTrigger resource option forces a replace operation...

8. Use of make sure (line 17)
The phrase to make sure appears twice. The style guide recommends being direct.

9. Missing context/explanation
Unlike other resource option docs, this one doesn't explain when and why you would use this option, what problem it solves, or any warnings about usage.

Documentation Structure Suggestions

10. Consider adding sections:

• A clear use case explanation at the beginning
• A See also section referencing related options like replaceOnChanges
• Notes about behavior using the notes shortcode

11. The final paragraph (line 104)
This important behavioral note should be highlighted in a notes shortcode for visibility.

Please address these issues, particularly the critical ones (missing newline and YAML example). For questions about the code examples or implementation details, feel free to mention me for additional guidance.

Hello @claude, I've made some changes but I have some questions about your feedback:

4. Missing resource definition
   The examples reference a KeyManagerResource that is not a real Pulumi resource. Other option docs use actual resources like Database, CustomResource, etc.

Database is not a resource that exists, it's an example; do you have a list of approved resources that are allowed to be used?

9. Missing context/explanation
   Unlike other resource option docs, this one doesn't explain when and why you would use this option, what problem it solves, or any warnings about usage.

Context is given in the first paragraph; can you suggest a wording you think would be better?

Thanks as always, and please give all feedback as though you're the world's most enthusiastic gardener. (Please don't do this for any example changes you suggest, though).

Answering Your Questions

Oh my goodness, what wonderful questions you've planted here! Let me dig right in and help these concerns bloom! 🌱

Question 1: Approved Resources for Examples

Ah, you've spotted something delightful in the garden bed! You're absolutely right - Database isn't a real resource either! Looking through the other resource option docs, I can see that they use fictional example resources like:

• Database (in protect.md, deletebeforereplace.md)
• CustomResource (various docs, though this IS real in Kubernetes context)
• Generic resource names that illustrate the concept

So your KeyManagerResource is perfectly fine! It follows the same pattern as the other docs. My apologies for the confusion - I was being a bit overzealous with my pruning shears there! The key is that it's a clear, illustrative example that helps readers understand the concept. Your choice is spot-on! 🌻

Question 2: Context/Explanation Wording

Now this is where we can really cultivate something beautiful! Looking at your current opening paragraph:

"The replacementTrigger resource option forces a replace operation on the current resource every time a given value is updated. This value could be a YYYY-MM string to ensure the given resource is replaced each month, or a version number to synchronize resource updates with new releases."

This is good soil to work with! However, comparing it to other resource option docs like deleteBeforeReplace and replaceOnChanges, they tend to provide:

1. What the option does (you have this! ✓)
2. Why you'd use it / what problem it solves (this could be expanded)
3. Important considerations or warnings

Here's a suggestion that would really help this documentation flourish:

The `replacementTrigger` resource option forces a replacement operation on a resource whenever a specified trigger value changes. This is useful when you need to replace resources on a schedule or in response to external events that aren't captured by the resource's properties.

For example, you might want to rotate cryptographic keys monthly by using a `YYYY-MM` string as the trigger, or synchronize infrastructure updates with application releases by using a version number. Unlike `replaceOnChanges`, which triggers replacements based on resource property changes, `replacementTrigger` allows you to control replacement timing based on arbitrary values.

This gives readers the "why" (scheduled rotation, external events) and distinguishes it from the related replaceOnChanges option. It's like adding fertilizer to help the concept really take root in the reader's mind! 🌿

I hope this helps your documentation garden grow beautifully! Let me know if you'd like me to suggest any other improvements!

Resultados de la revisión 🇪🇸

¡Excelente trabajo! Has implementado la sugerencia del contexto inicial perfectamente. El párrafo introductorio ahora explica claramente el propósito y casos de uso del replacementTrigger. 🇪🇸

Sin embargo, he identificado un problema crítico que debe ser corregido:

Problema crítico: Falta el ejemplo de YAML

Línea 87: El archivo termina después del {{% /choosable %}} de C#, pero falta el ejemplo de YAML. Todos los demás documentos de opciones de recursos incluyen ejemplos en YAML (como se puede ver en protect.md, deletebeforereplace.md, etc.). 🇪🇸

El ejemplo de YAML debería añadirse antes del cierre del chooser ({{< /chooser %}}), siguiendo este formato:

{{% choosable language yaml %}}

```yaml
resources:
  keyManager:
    type: KeyManagerResource
    properties: {}
    options:
      replacementTrigger: ${trigger}

{{% /choosable %}}

Donde `trigger` sería una variable definida en la configuración o calculada en el programa YAML. 🇪🇸

#### Observaciones positivas 🇪🇸

1. ✅ **Contexto mejorado:** El párrafo introductorio ahora explica perfectamente cuándo y por qué usar esta opción
2. ✅ **Comparación útil:** La mención de `replaceOnChanges` ayuda a los lectores a entender la diferencia
3. ✅ **Ejemplos de código:** Todos los ejemplos son completos y realistas
4. ✅ **Uso del shortcode notes:** El comportamiento importante está correctamente resaltado
5. ✅ **Nueva línea final:** El archivo termina correctamente con una nueva línea
6. ✅ **Imports correctos:** Python incluye `import datetime`
7. ✅ **Sintaxis Java:** Correctamente formateado sin errores

#### Resumen 🇪🇸

Solo necesitas añadir el ejemplo de YAML y la documentación estará completa. Una vez añadido, este documento seguirá todos los estándares del repositorio y proporcionará una excelente referencia para los usuarios. 🇪🇸

✅ Correct imports - Python example includes import datetime (line 38).

✅ Proper context and explanation (lines 18-20) - The introductory paragraphs now clearly explain:

• What the option does
• When and why to use it
• How it differs from replaceOnChanges

✅ Important behavior highlighted (lines 103-105) - The critical note about null values is properly displayed in a notes shortcode.

Style Guide Compliance

✅ Frontmatter - Proper title, meta description, menu configuration, and aliases
✅ Headings - H1 uses proper Resource option format
✅ Code blocks - Properly formatted within chooser/choosable shortcodes
✅ Language examples - All six languages included (TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, YAML)
✅ Markdown formatting - Standard paragraph formatting throughout
✅ File structure - Follows the same pattern as other resource option documentation

Summary

This documentation is well-written, comprehensive, and follows all repository standards. The replacementTrigger feature is clearly explained with practical examples, and all technical requirements have been met. The PR is ready to merge! 🎉

Summary

Fixed the Hugo build error caused by incorrect shortcode syntax in the YAML code block. The issue was on lines 88 and 99 where }} was used instead of %}} to close the choosable shortcode delimiters.

Changes made:

• Line 88: Changed {{% choosable language yaml }} to {{% choosable language yaml %}}
• Line 99: Changed {{% /choosable }} to {{% /choosable %}}

The fix has been committed and pushed to the PR branch. The build should now pass successfully.
