Poem

I’m a rabbit with docs in my paws,
Hopping through sign-in’s new paths and laws.
Flows can change without builds in the air,
With pages and workflows arranged with care.
New links bloom bright in the sidebar’s glow—
Configure, connect, and onward we go!

[pesickaa]

There's a code rabbit suggestion, which may be useful to implement. Otherwise, this is fairly clear. Good job.
