WalkthroughAdded clarifying, student- and instructor-facing text to two Virtual Coach documentation pages: a student-facing note that responses may be AI-generated and should be verified, and an instructor-facing paragraph describing the AI model (Anthropic’s Claude), a research link, and a privacy claim about PII handling. No code, settings, workflows, or control flow were changed. Changes
Estimated code review effort🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes Suggestions: confirm the privacy claim wording (source/attribution), ensure the research link is formatted consistently, and consider adding a short “verification tips” bullet for students to improve clarity. 📜 Recent review detailsConfiguration used: Path: .coderabbit.yaml Review profile: CHILL Plan: Pro 💡 Knowledge Base configuration:

12-12: Use an rst admonition and tighten the wording for claritySwitch to an admonition so the disclaimer stands out; use direct, second-person language and point to verification sources.
-Coach responses may be generated by AI, and students should carefully evaluate the recommendations provided. +.. note:: + Virtual Coach responses may be AI-generated. Always verify suggestions against your assignment, course materials, and instructor guidance.Minor related nitpick: Line 14 says “bottom-right” while the image alt text on Line 18 says “bottom left corner.” Consider making these consistent.

🧩 Analysis chain
Break up the paragraph, convert the URL to an rst link, and avoid unverified vendor/privacy claims
- The current paragraph is dense; split it and use bullets for readability.
- Replace the bare URL with proper rst link syntax.
- The absolute claim “No student's PII is stored by Anthropic” is high‑risk if policies change. Prefer institution/Codio policy references and an admonition advising not to include PII. If you keep the vendor claim, please verify it against up-to-date privacy docs and legal guidance.

- The page meta description (Line 2) says “Hint-Bot” while the page title/section use “Virtual Coach.” Consider standardizing terminology.

Refactor the “Virtual Coach” section for clarity and consistency
- Split the dense paragraph into an introductory sentence, a bulleted list of use cases, and a concise summary of outcomes.
- Replace the bare URL with an rst inline link.
- Remove the absolute PII-storage claim and instead add a note advising against including PII and pointing readers to institutional/Codio privacy policies.
- Optional: standardize “Hint-Bot” (meta description, lines 2,27–28) to “Virtual Coach” for consistency.
