Important

This PR requires a human review decision — auto-merge is NOT armed. Its fixes include judgment-class changes (claim corrections, structural repairs), so approving does not merge it by itself: the PR-review sweep arms auto-merge only after its own gates pass, or a human merges manually.

Fixes applied

Claim / finding	Authoritative source	Correction
Claim (c8, L47): EscClient.CreateDefault() first looks for the PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable, and if it is not present, falls back to Pulumi CLI credentials on t…	gh api repos/pulumi/esc-sdk/contents/sdk/csharp/Pulumi.Esc.Sdk/EscAuth.cs; repos/pulumi/esc-sdk/contents/sdk/csharp/Pulumi.Esc.Sdk/EscClient.cs	Replaced the L47 sentence: CreateDefault() now documented as reading PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN only and throwing InvalidOperationException when it isn't set, with no CLI-credential fallback. Matches EscAuth.GetDefaultAccessToken() on the default branch and at the released v0.14.0 tag (the fallback was removed from all SDKs in pulumi/esc-sdk#137); wording mirrors the already-corrected Go sibling page.
Claim (c9, L47): If PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN is not set, EscClient.CreateDefault() falls back to the Pulumi CLI credentials on the machine if the user has logged in using the Pu…	gh api repos/pulumi/esc-sdk/contents/sdk/csharp/Pulumi.Esc.Sdk/EscAuth.cs (L21-31); repos/pulumi/esc-sdk/contents/sdk/csharp/Pulumi.Esc.Sdk/EscClient.cs (L109-120)	Same L47 sentence as c8; resolved by the single edit above.

Findings not applied

• Vale wordiness (L59): 'All of' is too wordy. — Style nag without a deterministic fix; rewording is an editorial call. (context: 'All of' is too wordy.)
• Readthrough missing-step (L101-121): "Expected at least 2 revisions for environment {projName}/{envName}" — Readthrough findings are banked for the glow-up lane; adding a dependency note between examples is a structural change for human review. (context: At L103, add a sentence saying this example uses the sdk-dotnet-example environment from the Manage environment example, so run that example first. Creating …)
• Readthrough orphaned-structure (L33-37): "### Initializing ESC SDK client" — Readthrough findings are banked for the glow-up lane; promoting the heading changes page structure (siblings share the same outline). (context: Change ### Initializing ESC SDK client to an H2 (## Initialize the ESC SDK client) so it sits next to ## Install the SDK package instead of under it.)
• Readthrough self-redundancy (L16): "The SDK supports C#, F#, and Visual Basic." — Readthrough findings are banked for the glow-up lane; deleting the repeated sentence on L31 is an editorial call. (context: Delete the duplicate sentence 'The SDK supports C#, F#, and Visual Basic.' from L31. L16 already says this.)

The items above are banked for the automated glow-up lane, which executes a page's accumulated deferrals under human review — or run /glow-up content/docs/esc/languages-sdks/dotnet.md to work them now.

Screenshot check

No images. The page source references no screenshots, diagrams, or other content images (only the generic shared meta_image card, if any), so there is nothing to verify. (Determined from the source; the screenshot pass was skipped.)

Rendered content

Ran make build and checked public/docs/esc/languages-sdks/dotnet/index.html and index.md. The only render-time residue is the esc-sdk-config-note callout ("Use the ESC SDK to retrieve environment values from your application workloads at runtime ... use config instead of the SDK"), which renders in both views; its link target /docs/esc/guides/pulumi-iac/ exists. No checkable factual claims in the residue are wrong, so no shared-source fix was applied (the shortcode is used on 5 pages). The L47 correction renders as expected in both views.

Verification

• make lint: ✅ make lint re-verified by the workflow on 146b6f9

Sentinel — merge gate status (preview)

Warning

⚠️ Preview mode — this check is NOT blocking your merge

The Sentinel is in preview (report-only) mode: its check-run concludes neutral whatever the gates below say, so nothing here gates this PR. The rows are informational and safe to ignore for now. It would have concluded success.

This will be enforced in the near future. Once it is, every row below has to be green before this PR can merge. The rows are the sign-offs a merge needs — some yours, some a reviewer's or a deploy's. Tell us in #docs if one looks wrong.

All gates green — nothing would block this merge.

	Gate	What it needs
✅	G1 review-ran	Nothing to do: review current at 5ba0e2dcc.
✅	G2 findings-answered	Nothing to do: every finding answered.
✅	G3 right-approver	Nothing to do: approved by CamSoper, who has write access.
➖	G4 infra-evidence	Doesn't apply to this PR: no changed path affects the deploy.
➖	G5 oversized-ack	Doesn't apply to this PR: not oversized.

Reviewer's guide v1 — not for the author

Tip

Check the ⚠️ items, then approve. Your approval covers only those; links, shortcodes, metadata, and verified claims were checked by machine (receipts on the evidence page). Code samples are read, not compiled.

PR author: nothing here is yours. Your to-do list is the "Author action guide" comment.

Approval needed from: @pulumi/docs-guild — any member's approval satisfies the merge gate.

Note

What this PR changes:

• .NET ESC SDK auth note: names the on-disk pulumi login credentials as the dropped fallback and pins the change to v0.14.0.

A wrong version or credential source would leave .NET readers unable to authenticate after upgrading. Fact-check and frontmatter/mechanics passes ran; the sibling Python and JavaScript SDK pages were not separately re-read.

Review confidence:

Dimension	Level	Notes
mechanics	HIGH
facts	HIGH
cross-sibling consistency	MEDIUM	Sibling SDK pages not re-read this run

⚠️ Check these before approving

Nothing needs a human eye beyond the rubber-stamp list below.

✅ What you can rubber-stamp

• Facts: 1 factual claim checked — 1 verified clean.
• Mechanics: frontmatter sweep ran; no internal links added.
• Style: 0 advisory suggestions left with the author; never blocking.

Pre-existing issues in touched files: 0 — details on the evidence page.

Full evidence: verification trail, investigation log, review history.

Author action guide v1 — nothing blocks merge

Note

Nothing here needs an answer. Automation opened this PR; a human reviewer still approves the merge.

This automated content-review PR clarifies that Pulumi.Esc.Sdk v0.14.0 no longer reads the on-disk pulumi login credentials; the review checked the version claim and the page's mechanics.

Full evidence: verification trail, investigation log, review history.
