There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think this is a clean enough diagram to really explain how things interact with each other.
It comes very close to the information trying to convey in this pr: #5881
Assuming you're both at the PyCon sprints. Maybe you two could discuss?
I simplified the diagram to make it cleaner and easier to read. Here is the updated version: - Changed the layout from top-to-bottom to left-to-right - Removed the extra auto-triggers arrow to reduce complexity - Made it clearer which boxes are commands and which are files
