Reference
GlossaryEvery term these docs use, defined once.
CLI referenceEvery command and flag.
Known limitationsWhat Watcher does not do, stated plainly.
These pages are for looking something up rather than reading through. The glossary defines every Watcher-specific term the documentation uses, so you can arrive at any page and decode it. The CLI page lists every command with what it needs configured. The limitations page states, without hedging, what Watcher does not do — worth reading once before you rely on it for something important.
