Merge 71e9ecd027 into 6ac4c26b69

- step-auto-finalize.md: reflow the bundle-mode `dw_ids` note so the
  inline-code span no longer wraps across a line break (was rendering as
  "dw ids") and restore the dropped list-continuation indent (augment).
- step-03-triage.md: reword the third consecutive "If" to "When" to break
  the repeated sentence opening; logic and {auto_mode} gate unchanged
  (coderabbit nitpick).
