- Troubleshooting: connect a symptom to checks, causes, and recoveries.
Split a page when these purposes compete. A short context paragraph may introduce
a task, but do not bury the first action under a conceptual essay.

- Lead with what the reader can accomplish or needs to know.
- Address the reader as `you` for user actions. Name GitLab or another component

- State facts and achievable outcomes. Qualify perfo
