🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
docs/reference/yaml-template.md (1)
110-126: Alphabetical order nit-pick for the PHP tool entriesThe new PHP tool entries were added as
phpmd phpcs
phpcsshould come beforephpmdto keep the list in (case-insensitive) alphabetical order, matching the rest of the template.- phpmd: - enabled: true - phpcs: - enabled: true + phpcs: + enabled: true + phpmd: + enabled: truedocs/tools/flake8.md (1)
24-31: Format CLI options as code for consistency & readabilityThe option flags
--selectand--extend-ignorerender as plain text.
Surrounding them with back-ticks matches the rest of our docs style and lets them render as code.-- Select / ignore rule filtering (--select, --extend-ignore) +- Select / ignore rule filtering (`--select`, `--extend-ignore`)docs/reference/configuration.md (2)
2853-2891: Minor wording / breadcrumb inconsistencyMost tool sections use the pattern “Review > Tools > Tool-Name > Enable” for Location.
Here it reads “Review > Tools > Enable Flake8”, dropping the intermediate tool name segment.
Consider aligning it for search consistency:- <td>Review > Tools > Enable Flake8</td> + <td>Review > Tools > Flake8 > Enable</td>Same applies to Default row directly above ‑ no change needed.
3715-3794: Section ordering breaks PMD’s flowThe new PHPMD and PHPCS blocks were inserted between the Enable PMD subsection and PMD’s Config File subsection.
This splits PMD’s documentation in two and can confuse readers.Recommend moving the PHPMD / PHPCS blocks below the entire PMD section (after the PMD Config File table) or giving them their own top-level heading outside of the PMD section.
No diff supplied because the move spans large non-contiguous regions.

@hardikkgupta - i noticed this in one of the nitpick comments above. I think this is important to fix: "The new PHPMD and PHPCS blocks were inserted between the Enable PMD subsection and PMD’s Config File subsection. Recommend moving the PHPMD / PHPCS blocks below the entire PMD section (after the PMD Config File table) or giving them their own top-level heading outside of the PMD section." |

@hardikkgupta - this seems important to fix too: "Format CLI options as code for consistency & readability The option flags --select and --extend-ignore render as plain text. |
