Code Review
This pull request introduces comprehensive updates to the Home Assistant best practices documentation, including a new reference guide for Scenes (scenes.md) and extensive additions to the automation patterns, dashboard guide, and helper selection references. The reviewer's feedback focuses on optimizing token-efficiency for LLMs by suggesting that bulleted lists in helper-selection.md, scenes.md, and dashboard-guide.md be converted into comma-separated paragraphs.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
