I’ve run the preflight command, so the lint issue should be resolved.

I know the line originates from Rockstar Games, but I included it as it feels like a human expression, meant respectfully. For me, it resonates most in moments like a sudden API error or an LLM hallucination.

I can appreciate an homage to good video game, and I think this one is a bit more subtle 👍

Hi team,

Since the customwitty issue has been resolved and is now ready for the upcoming release, I believe it’s important to have proper documentation for it. I’ve prepared a PR for this — please have a look when you get a chance.

Thanks!
