The dependencies.<job>.outputs[...] key for job-to-job dependencies within the same stage is documented elsewhere as '<step-name>.<variable-name>' (no job-name prefix). Using ['A.passOutput.myOutputVar'] here appears inconsistent with expressions.md and variables.md examples, and is likely to produce a lookup miss at runtime. Consider reverting to ['passOutput.myOutputVar'], or (if the intent is cross-stage) switch the example to stageDependencies and include the stage/job qualifiers accordingly.

Suggested change
myVarFromJobA: $[ dependencies.A.outputs['A.passOutput.myOutputVar'] ]
myVarFromJobA: $[ dependencies.A.outputs['passOutput.myOutputVar'] ]

Same issue as above: for job-to-job dependencies within a single stage, the outputs key is typically '<step-name>.<variable-name>' (for example dependencies.A.outputs['passOutput.myOutputVar']). Prefixing the job name (A.passOutput...) is inconsistent with other docs in this repo and likely incorrect for this scenario.

myVarFromJobA: $[ dependencies.A.outputs['passOutput.myOutputVar'] ]
