A reader's joy with each keystroke!

❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Linked Issues check	⚠️ Warning	The PR description states it adds periods to metrics, converts Notes to info hints, and changes 'Windows-only' to 'Windows only' for the out_plot plugin docs, but linked issue #2139 concerns the WINSTAT input plugin documentation, which is unrelated.	Clarify whether this PR is intended to address issue #2139. If not, remove the issue reference; if yes, ensure all changes align with creating WINSTAT input plugin documentation and updating Summary.md.
Out of Scope Changes check	⚠️ Warning	The PR modifies pipeline/outputs/plot.md with editorial updates unrelated to the linked issue #2139, which requires WINSTAT input plugin documentation and Summary.md updates.	Either scope the PR to address issue #2139 by adding WINSTAT documentation and updating Summary.md, or remove the issue reference and focus solely on out_plot documentation updates.

pipeline/outputs/plot.md (4)

29-30: Potential oversight: missing periods in parameter descriptions.

The PR objectives mention "Add periods to metric description sentences." Lines 29–30 describe the output format parameters but lack terminal periods:

• timestamp is a floating-point Unix timestamp
• value is the numeric value extracted from the specified key (or the first field if Key isn't specified)

Since these lines are not marked as changed, this may be an unintended gap. Consider adding periods for consistency, or clarify whether they should remain unpunctuated as part of a list.

---

125-132: Info hint block syntax is correct.

The conversion of the Notes section to a Jekyll/GitBook info hint block is well-structured and properly closed. The content is preserved accurately, and the formatting is clean and readable.

---

7-7: Editorial changes are clear and maintain consistency.

The wording refinements (e.g., "lets you"), consistent use of contractions ("isn't" vs "is not"), and formatting improvements (backticks around PNG) enhance readability without altering the technical meaning or accuracy. The changes align with modern technical documentation style.

Also applies to: 15-15, 30-30, 32-32, 123-123

---

1-132: Verify PR objective coverage.

The PR objectives mention changing "Windows-only" to "Windows only," but this change does not appear in this file. Confirm whether:

• This change is in a different file within the PR, or
• It applies to a separate documentation update related to issue Missing Windows System Statistics input plugin doc #2139 (Windows System Statistics input plugin).
