+      Text added or changed under docs/1-getting-started/ or
+      docs/2-handbook/ names a specific code unit or describes how the code
+      works inside: a source path or file (`src/…`, `*.rs`, a module), a
+      function, struct, type or enum, a table or column, a queue subject or
+      wire field, or the mechanics of a protocol or migration. That detail
+      belongs in docs/4-implementation/, with a link from the operator
+      page. A command, flag, nix option, endpoint, service, systemd unit or
+      file an operator runs, sets, sees or edits is not a code unit, and
+      neither is the name of a crate or binary used as the service's name.
+      A diff that adds or changes nothing under those two directories makes
+      the question not applicable, and so do docs/4-implementation/,
+      docs/5-project/ and the options reference.
