Connect the manifesto's rejection of algorithmic manipulation to the
detailed explanation of how Grove inverts those patterns. Adds the link
after "I think that's disgusting" in the machines section, and updates
related articles in frontmatter.

PR Review: Documentation Enhancement

Summary

This PR adds a contextual link from the manifesto to the "Why Grove is Different" article, creating a natural bridge between philosophical rejection and technical implementation. The change is small but meaningful—it transforms a moment of conviction ("I think that's disgusting") into a doorway for readers who want to understand how Grove implements those values.


Code Quality ✅

Strengths:

  • Precise placement: The link appears exactly where it should—right after the emotional pivot point, when the reader is most motivated to understand the alternative
  • Natural voice: The phrasing "Here's how Grove is different" maintains the manifesto's conversational, authentic tone
  • Proper frontmatter update: Added why-grove-is-different to the related articles list, maintaining bidirectional discoverability

Style adherence:

  • Follows Grove's documentation voice perfectly (warm, grounded, conversational)
  • Uses italics appropriately for the inline link treatment
  • Maintains existing formatting conventions

Content Verification ✅

Link validation:

  • ✅ Target article exists at docs/help-center/articles/why-grove-is-different.md
  • ✅ URL path /knowledge/help/why-grove-is-different matches the slug
  • ✅ Content connection is strong—manifesto rejects algorithmic manipulation, linked article explains Grove's technical inversion of those patterns

Contextual fit:

  • The linked article provides exactly what a reader would want at this point: concrete details on how Grove avoids the "machines" and "harvesting" described above
  • Flow works well: manifesto → emotional conviction → practical implementation

Potential Issues 🔍

None identified. This is a clean, focused documentation improvement.

Minor considerations (not blocking):

  • The link uses /knowledge/help/ which assumes the help center routing structure—verify this matches your current routing implementation (likely fine based on existing links in the file)
  • If the help center URL structure ever changes, this link would need updating (but that's true of all internal links)

Testing ✅

Verified:

  • Target article exists and contains relevant content
  • Frontmatter relationship is bidirectional (both articles reference each other)
  • Commit message follows conventional commits format: docs(manifesto): add link to "Why Grove is Different" article
  • PR description clearly explains the change and rationale

Security Concerns ✅

None. This is a documentation-only change with no code execution, no user input, and no external dependencies.


Performance Considerations ✅

None. Adding one markdown link has zero performance impact.


Test Coverage

N/A for documentation changes. Consider:

  • Manually verifying the link renders correctly in the help center UI
  • Checking that the link works in both light and dark modes
  • Testing on mobile to ensure the inline link is tappable

Recommendation

Approve and merge. This is a high-quality documentation improvement that:

  • Enhances reader experience with timely, relevant navigation
  • Maintains Grove's authentic voice
  • Follows all project conventions
  • Has no technical risks

The connection between manifesto conviction and technical implementation is exactly the kind of thoughtful documentation architecture that makes help centers genuinely helpful.


Grove Voice Check ✅

The added text ("I think that's disgusting. Here's how Grove is different.") is perfect Grove voice:

  • Warm: Uses conversational language ("I think")
  • Grounded: States a clear conviction without being preachy
  • Authentic: Feels like a natural thought, not performative
  • Helpful: Immediately offers the reader what they need next

This is exactly how documentation should feel—like a trusted friend showing you the way.
