+Any documentation published to Chainguard Academy is reviewed carefully for accuracy. GUI procedures, API commands, and CLI code snippets in a draft are run and tested thoroughly — by both the author and the reviewer — to confirm they work exactly as written. This helps ensure that readers can follow along and get the same results. See the [`edu` repo's README](https://github.com/chainguard-dev/edu#testing).
