## Summary of the Pull Request - #39572 updated check-spelling but ignored: > 🐣 Breaking Changes [Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning Ruleset](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset) If you use SARIF reporting, then instead of the workflow yielding an ❌ when it fails, it will rely on [github-advanced-security 🤖](https://github.com/apps/github-advanced-security) to report the failure. You will need to adjust your checks for PRs. This means that check-spelling hasn't been properly doing its job 😦. I'm sorry, I should have pushed a thing to this repo earlier,... Anyway, as with most refreshes, this comes with a number of fixes, some are fixes for typos that snuck in before the 0.0.25 upgrade, some are for things that snuck in after, some are based on new rules in spell-check-this, and some are hand written patterns based on running through this repository a few times. About the 🐣 **breaking change**: someone needs to create a ruleset for this repository (see [Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning Ruleset: Sample ruleset ](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset#sample-ruleset)). The alternative to adding a ruleset is to change the condition to not use sarif for this repository. In general, I think the github integration from sarif is prettier/more helpful, so I think that it's the better choice.

Adding New Module Documentation
When adding documentation for a new module:
- Create a dedicated markdown file for the module (e.g.,
modulename.md) - If the module has specialized debugging tools, consider creating a separate tools document (e.g.,
modulename-tools.md) - Update this index with links to the new documentation
- Follow the existing documentation structure for consistency
