How can I customize these reviews?

Check out the Hyperlint AI Reviewer docs for more information on how to customize the review.

If you just want to ignore it on this PR, you can add the hyperlint-ignore label to the PR. Future changes won't trigger a Hyperlint review.

Note specifically for link checks, we only check the first 30 links in a file and we cache the results for several hours (for instance, if you just added a page, you might experience this). Our recommendation is to add hyperlint-ignore to the PR to ignore the link check for this PR.

- PCAPs will fail on Windows if you have another third-party packet capture tool (such as, Packet Monitor `pktmon`) running.

- [`capture-default.pcap`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/remote-captures/#limitations:~:text=capture%2Ddefault.pcap) (packet captures on the default network interface) is not available for devices configured with a non-English language. The WARP client runs `pktmon list --json` to query network adapters, but because `pktmon` uses the system language settings directly, systems configured with a non-English language are not compatible with our English-only parser.

Pcaps on other interfaces could also fail with a non-English language, so we can probably leave out any specific interface information.

I think something like this should be enough:
"On Windows, packet captures may fail on devices configured with a non-English language due to limitations with the underlying PktMon tool"
