P2: Cloud availability is overstated for several gated features: Scoped MCP Servers, Ask DataHub Plugins, and the Data Observability Agent are Private Beta rather than generally available to Cloud customers.

P2: OSS users are incorrectly told that the Logical Models UI is Cloud-only. The linked guide documents creating and editing logical models in the UI when `LOGICAL_MODELS_ENABLED` is set on `datahub-gms`; only Centralized Management is identified as the Cloud enhancement. This row should mark the UI as available in OSS (or narrow the feature name to the specific Cloud-only capability).</violation>

P2: The comparison makes GitHub Context Document import look unavailable in OSS, although the linked guide explicitly documents the open-source github-documents importer and limits only sync-back to Cloud. Marking import available in both columns and qualifying PR sync-back as Cloud-only would preserve the actual distinction.

P2: OSS users are incorrectly told that the Logical Models UI is Cloud-only. The linked guide documents creating and editing logical models in the UI when LOGICAL_MODELS_ENABLED is set on datahub-gms; only Centralized Management is identified as the Cloud enhancement. This row should mark the UI as available in OSS (or narrow the feature name to the specific Cloud-only capability).

P3: The language statuses conflict with the linked canonical guide, which calls these translations Beta rather than Private Beta. Using the same Beta label avoids incorrectly implying access is gated.

Refreshes the OSS vs Cloud comparison guide to reflect the current feature set.
Checklist
docs/how/updating-datahub.mdSummary by cubic
Restructures the OSS vs Cloud comparison guide to match the current feature set and make differences easier to scan. Adds a new Context Platform pillar and refreshes Discovery, Observability, and Support content with clearer availability and deep links.
Written for commit 248a0ea. Summary will update on new commits.
