PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
General	Fix filename typo The filename contains a typo: "bidi-roadmp.md" should be "bidi-roadmap.md". This could affect URLs and links to the blog post. website_and_docs/content/blog/2025/bidi-roadmp.md [1] -website_and_docs/content/blog/2025/bidi-roadmp.md +website_and_docs/content/blog/2025/bidi-roadmap.md [To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually] Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a typo in the filename ("roadmp" instead of "roadmap"). This is important to fix as it affects the URL of the blog post and could impact discoverability and linking.	Medium
	Fix heading structure The blog post is missing a proper heading structure. The "Roadmap" heading appears to be a duplicate of the title and lacks proper Markdown formatting (it should be a level 2 heading with ## prefix). website_and_docs/content/blog/2025/bidi-roadmp.md [1-12] +--- +title: "Roadmap for adopting WebDriver Bidi" +linkTitle: "Proposed roadmap for adopting WebDriver Bidi and deprecating WebDriver Classic" +date: 2025-03-11 +tags: ["selenium"] +categories: [] +author: Diego Molina [@diemol](https://www.diemol.com) +description: > + A roadmap for how and when Selenium will adopt WebDriver Bidi and deprecate WebDriver Classic. +--- + -+Roadmap ++## Introduction Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the "Roadmap" heading is redundant with the title and lacks proper Markdown formatting.
