This includes, but is not limited to, documenting any additions made to the <code>tweaks</code> section and corresponding <code>undo tweak</code>, so users are able to remove the newly added tweaks if necessary, and comprehensive documentation is required for all code changes. Document your changes and briefly explain why you made your changes in your Pull Request Description. Failure to adhere to this format may result in the denial of the pull request.
