Walkthrough

Adds a fourth “How to enable” column to the distribution table. Updates the generation script to derive per-entry enablement guidance from conditional provider IDs, adjust default-enabled flags accordingly, and render the new column. Non-conditional providers remain “Yes” with “N/A”. Documentation regenerated to reflect the new column.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Docs: Distribution table update distribution/README.md	Expanded the table from 3 to 4 columns by adding “How to enable”. Populated each row with either “N/A” or a guidance string aligned with the provider’s conditional configuration.
Docs generator: Table logic and data model scripts/gen_distro_docs.py	Extended entry tuples to include how_to_enable. Added detection of conditional provider IDs, deriving env var guidance and flipping enabled_by_default to “No”. Updated header/separator and row rendering to output the new column. Minor regex/variable name adjustments.

Poem

I thump the docs with gentle cheer,
A fourth small column now appears.
If vars are set, the paths are clear—
If not, a note will nudge your ear.
I nibble tuples, neat and able,
Then hop away—complete the table. 🐇📜

The table structure is correct with the new "How to enable" column properly formatted. The content accurately reflects conditional and non-conditional providers.
