  3. Re-test documentation sections

For This Sprint

  1. Address Medium Priority issues from DOCUMENTATION_FIXES_NEEDED.md
  2. Implement verification checklist items
  3. Schedule Phase 2 fixes

For Long-term

  1. Implement automated documentation testing
  2. Keep docs in sync with code changes
