Review the documentation for clarity, grammar, and spelling. Make sure that the documentation is easy to understand and follow. There is currently a migration underway from the Jekyll based documentation in docs to the Starlight + Astro based documentation in docs-starlight. Make sure that the docs-starlight documentation is accurate and up-to-date with the docs documentation, and that any difference between them results in an improvement in the docs-starlight documentation.

404-415: LGTM! The updated error output improves documentation accuracy.

The new error output and Run Summary are more concise and align well with the PR objective to show the actual error output from the dependency example. The content maintains clarity while providing:

  • Helpful guidance (suggestion to use dependencies block)
  • Clear error diagnostics (unknown variable message)
  • Summary of execution results (2 units, 1 succeeded, 1 failed)

The changes successfully replace verbose diagnostics with a clearer, more accurate representation of what users will actually see, while maintaining the tutorial's educational flow.

377-389: Fix indentation inconsistency in the code example.

Line 379 uses single-space indentation while the rest of the file's HCL examples use two-space indentation (see lines 249-251, 260-262, etc.).
