The PR description says the /yolo documentation should note that its enabled state persists across /restart, but this isn’t mentioned anywhere in this chapter (there are no other /restart references). Consider adding that persistence note to the /yolo row (or nearby) to match the stated behavior in v1.0.20.

This table’s descriptions generally don’t end with a period; the new /yolo row does. Consider dropping the trailing period to keep formatting consistent across the table.
