In @.coderabbit.yaml:
- Around line 48-58: Reword the documentation guidance under the
"**/*.{cpp,hpp}" instructions to improve clarity: change "which gives a high
level overview of how the implementation works." to "Provide a high-level
overview of the implementation."; tighten the next sentence to "Use single-line
// comments sparingly to explain the why (not the what or how) when it is
non-obvious." and clarify the final sentence to "Docstrings are required for all
classes in public headers within non-detail namespaces; warn when a class or
function lacks a docstring or has an insufficient one." Ensure these phrases
replace the current lines in the instructions block so the intent and grammar
are clearer.
