Minor incorrectness of diagram legend

Where is the problem?

Section "A page as a Dependency Tree" of Asynchronous Operations Introduction

What is the problem?

The legend is not entirely correct. The block Screenshot 2022-08-26 at 14 24 24

is true for "Render component A" -> "Fetch A cache misses via cURL", but not for "Fetch A cache misses via cURL" -> "Identify A cache misses". The second dependency is actually backwards, "Identify A cache misses" depends on "Fetch A cache misses via cURL" to have run.

I get the meaning intended, but I would suggest having another arrow type, with a different legend, because this can be a little confusing when comparing this diagram with the others that follow. Also, if other diagrams can be provided with a legend, the page would be brilliant.

Btw, leaving here my appreciation to that page, I think it's very helpful to understand how hack asynchrony works :).


Please don't change anything below this point.
