The Best Practices section in rate-limiting-controls.md was a dense run-on paragraph containing four distinct operational recommendations. This change restructures that content into a scan-friendly format without changing meaning.

  • What changed

    • Replaced the single prose paragraph under ## Best Practices with a 4-item numbered list.
    • Added bold lead-ins per item to improve rapid scanning for security/configuration workflows.
  • Guidance preserved (no semantic change)

    • Start conservative, then increase limits as needed.
    • Use environments for high-risk operations.
    • Layer controls across rate limits, concurrency, timeouts, and safe outputs.
    • Monitor run and cancellation signals to tune controls.
  • Resulting structure (example)

    1. **Start conservative:** Begin with lower limits and increase as needed.
    2. **Use environments for high-risk operations:** Require environments for workflow dispatches, cross-repo operations, and production systems.
    3. **Layer controls:** Combine rate limiting with concurrency, timeouts with stop-after, and safe output limits with environments.
    4. **Monitor signals:** Track workflow runs, safe output logs, and rate limit cancellations to identify needed adjustments.
