10. Expand on Best Practices and Common Pitfalls with Inputs. While the content shows how to define and override inputs, it does not discuss best practices or potential mistakes. For example, what should be considered when choosing default values, how to handle sensitive data in inputs, or how to avoid mismatches between input files and control logic?

Recommendation: Include best practices for input management (e.g., version control, naming conventions, separation of environment-specific data), and warn about common pitfalls such as accidentally exposing secrets, misaligning input types, or failing to update input files when requirements change.

11. Demonstrate Inputs Usage in More Complex and Realistic Scenarios. The examples focus on simple cases (version, modules, admin users), but real-world profiles often require more complex input structures (nested arrays, hashes, conditional logic).

Recommendation: Add examples or guidance for using inputs with more complex data types (e.g., hash maps for user roles, arrays of objects for server configurations), and show how to handle conditional logic in controls based on input values. This will help learners scale their profiles for enterprise use cases.
