From 8408a2717d0c2d53808138fece2688f5f300a2e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Picciolli Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 23:42:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: drop the renamed tools migration section The rename from "save" to "database" shipped in #23; the migration table is no longer needed for new readers. Also reformats the tools table and switches an emphasis marker to the Biome/Prettier style.
