…v#14179) Fix typos, grammar errors, and broken RST directives found across 37 documentation files including how-to guides, reference docs, examples, explanations, and project root files. Notable fixes: - Broken RST directives (``.. note:`` → ``.. note::``) - Subject-verb agreement errors - Missing/incorrect articles and prepositions - Incorrect verb forms ("teared down" → "torn down") - Duplicate words and extra spaces - Wrong URL in changelog (pytest → pytest-xdist) - Ordinal typo ("3th" → "3rd") (cherry picked from commit b2310f2)
