did you mean component resources? Are your child resources setting `parent = this` everywhere?

Yes, extending `pulumi.ComponentResource` , and setting {parent: this} on the child resources.
Should this also include a dependsOn as well?

Hmmm I think it's worth a try. I know pulumi has 2 different concepts of their resource graph. There is a parent/child graph (for display purposes) and a dependency graph (for provisioning purposes). Which is necessary so that a resource can depend on multiple other resoruces.

So if `--target-dependents` works only on the latter graph than it might make sense that it isn't recognizing the dependents of your `pulumi.ComponentResource`. A `dependsOn` would add that explicit dependency

Okay, that would still align with my mental model of how this works. Will give that a shot.
