- Delete doc/devdocs/modules/powerdisplay/cli.md and doc/devdocs/cli-conventions.md; CLI usage is discoverable via --help and the two only cross-referenced each other. - PowerDisplay.Cli.UnitTests: remove dead StringWriter/IDisposable from IpcDispatchTests CaptureOutput (never written, never disposed); discard the unused read result in CliPipeClientTests. - PowerDisplay.Ipc.UnitTests: consolidate three duplicated IMonitorManager stubs (NoOpManager/FailingManager duplicated across two files, plus CliRequestHandlerTests' FakeManager whose failure path was never exercised) into shared NoOpManager.cs / FailingManager.cs; drop the now-unused usings. - PowerDisplay.Contracts/CliError.cs: correct the Message/Hint doc comments to reference MessageId (not Code), matching how CliErrorLocalizer keys the localized text.

Adding New Module Documentation
When adding documentation for a new module:
- Create a dedicated markdown file for the module (e.g.,
modulename.md) - If the module has specialized debugging tools, consider creating a separate tools document (e.g.,
modulename-tools.md) - Update this index with links to the new documentation
- Follow the existing documentation structure for consistency
