📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Documentation updates to reflect CLI option changes and filter mechanism updates. The terminology guide clarifies the run --filter syntax for unit selection and renames a dependency output flag. A migration guide replaces the deprecated --queue-include-dir example with the new --filter approach.

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Description check	⚠️ Warning	The description is largely incomplete, containing only a vague statement 'Updating terminology to modernize it a bit' without explaining what specific terminology changes were made or their rationale.	Expand the description to detail the specific terminology updates: the shift from --include-dir/--exclude-dir to --filter, the --fetch-dependency-output-from-state to --dependency-fetch-output-from-state rename, and the rationale for these changes.
Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The title 'Updating terminology to modernize it a bit' is vague and generic, using non-descriptive terms that don't convey specific information about what terminology was actually changed.	Replace with a more specific title that identifies the key terminology changes, such as 'docs: Update --include-dir/--exclude-dir to --filter and rename dependency flag'.
