Explanation

Explanation articles provide background and reasoning. They contain no steps — read them to understand how the pieces fit together and why they behave the way they do.

• Why dsc-databricks is a trimmed Databricks CLI — what the DSC engine demands of a resource, and why that rules out wrapping the official CLI.
• What the fork keeps and drops — the inventory, and where the line between this binary and the dsc engine falls.
• About Microsoft DSC resources and this module — the resource model, manifests, the _exist convention, and custom versus synthetic test.
• About what-if predictions — native projections, the whatIfArg mechanism, and the limits of prediction.
• About Unity Catalog resource dependencies — the securable chain, create-only properties, write-only secrets, and grant convergence.
