1. title uses title case 📘 Rule violation ✧ Quality
The new blog post front matter sets title in Title Capitalization instead of the sentence capitalization required by the central style guide. This can create inconsistent page titles across the site.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The blog post front matter uses Title Capitalization for `title`, but the style guide requires sentence capitalization for `title` and Title Capitalization for `linkTitle`.
## Issue Context
`website_and_docs/content/documentation/about/style.en.md` explicitly defines capitalization rules for `title` vs `linkTitle`.

2. Unused reference links 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability
The post defines [bindings], [team], and [BiDi] reference links but never uses them in the document body, leaving dead Markdown definitions. This adds maintenance noise and suggests the intended links are missing.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
The blog post defines reference-style link labels that are never referenced in the content (`[bindings]`, `[team]`, `[BiDi]`). These should either be removed or the corresponding links should be added in the article body.
### Issue Context
`[downloads]` is referenced in the body, but the other three reference labels appear only as definitions at the bottom of the file.

| If you have not checked your Selenium or Appium version recently, take a moment to do it today. |

1. Unexplained appium callout 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability
Line 51 expands the call-to-action to “Selenium or Appium” even though the post attributes the root cause to the Selenium client and never discusses Appium, which makes the guidance ambiguous about what readers should update and where to find the right Appium info.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The post is scoped to Selenium client upgrades, but the final CTA mentions Appium without any explanation or Appium-specific link, which can confuse readers.
## Issue Context
Earlier sections explicitly frame the problem and question as being about the Selenium client/version, and the only referenced resource is Selenium’s downloads page.
## Fix Focus Areas
- website_and_docs/content/blog/2026/selenium-client-update-psa.md[49-51]
- website_and_docs/content/blog/2026/selenium-client-update-psa.md[64-64]
## Suggested fix
Either:
1) Remove “or Appium” from the sentence, keeping the CTA consistent with the post’s Selenium-only scope, **or**
2) Add 1–2 sentences explaining why Appium users are included (e.g., relationship/dependency), and add an explicit Appium resource link (and optionally update tags/categories if that’s the editorial standard).
