Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the documentation by replacing a static image diagram with a Mermaid code block. This change aims to improve the flexibility and maintainability of the diagram, making it easier for future contributors to understand and modify the visual representation of the two-phase commit process in TiDB.

Highlights

  • Diagram Format Conversion: The 2PC sequence diagram in the optimistic-transaction.md file has been converted from a static PNG image to a dynamic Mermaid code block. This improves maintainability and allows for easier updates to the diagram directly within the markdown.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • optimistic-transaction.md
    • Replaced the PNG image of the 2PC sequence diagram with an embedded Mermaid code block.

To improve clarity and readability, I've made several wording adjustments, corrected typos, and ensured consistent capitalization throughout the diagram. This makes the sequence of events in the 2PC process easier to follow.
