LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.

Note

Standardizes Java and Kotlin docs to SDK-specific phrasing, simplifying hooks/options, and clarifying hints, draining, sampling, PII, and timeouts.

• Java docs:
  • Configuration:
    • draining.mdx: Reworded to “the SDK” and background thread behavior.
    • filtering.mdx: Clarified callbacks/event processors wording; generalized breadcrumb hints.
    • options.mdx: Simplified hook descriptions; clarified transport; set shutdown-timeout-millis default to 2s.
    • sampling.mdx: Sampling context now varies by integration.
  • Data Management:
    • sensitive-data/index.mdx: Rephrased PII defaults; streamlined scrubbing guidance; removed mobile privacy alert.
  • Enriching Events:
    • breadcrumbs/index.mdx: Added linkified hint reference; clarified hint usage.
    • context/index.mdx: Simplified truncation note (SDK can truncate).
    • identify-user/index.mdx: Simplified IP handling ({{auto}}, default null); note requires send-default-pii.
    • scopes/index.mdx and scopes/index__v7.x.mdx: Updated descriptions to “the SDK” phrasing.
  • Tracing:
    • performance-metrics.mdx: Simplified intro to “the SDK supports…”.
  • Usage:
    • sdk-fingerprinting/index.mdx: Simplified wording; removed “supported SDKs” language.
• Kotlin Multiplatform guides:
  • configuration/draining.mdx: Same “the SDK” rewording.
  • configuration/options.mdx: Simplified hook descriptions.
  • data-management/sensitive-data/index.mdx: Kept mobile privacy alert; minor wording cleanup.
  • enriching-events/breadcrumbs/index.mdx: Linkified hint reference.
  • enriching-events/context/index.mdx: Simplified truncation note.
  • enriching-events/scopes/index.mdx: Updated descriptions to “the SDK” phrasing.
