    "incantation": "When you need to preinstall the plugins required by the current Pulumi project, run `pulumi plugin install --parallel <N>` from that project. It installs concurrently, with a default maximum of 4; the release note reports improved rendering for simultaneous progress bars.",

    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v3.259.0",
      "--parallel <int>: Maximum concurrent installs; default 4. Values less than 1 mean unbounded parallelism.",
      "[kind name [version]]: Optional specific plugin selector. Omitting it lets Pulumi compute plugins required by the current project; a specified version must be an exact version, not a range."
    ]
  },
  "why_it_matters": "Install Pulumi plugins for a repository's development environment while tracking concurrent installation progress.",
  "before": "Without a specific plugin selector, Pulumi computes the set of plugins required by the current project. The release note says parallel installs previously had flickering progress rendering.",
