Doc: admin-guide: pm: Remove unnecessary backticks and fix a spell (2026-08-14 12:36:43 -0600)
----------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a not-too-busy cycle for docs; here's the highlights:
- A (hopefully) consensus change to our LLM-attribution requirements,
removing the specific model name from the Assisted-by tag.
- A couple of new realtime documents
- Various docs-build-system fixes
- Ongoing work with the Chinese, Portuguese, and Japanese translations.
...and lots of typo fixes, grammar tweaks, etc.
Expect a conflict with the char-misc tree, which also made changes to
Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst.
