[nitpick] The wording of the added notes varies across steps (e.g., "You don't need to implement these", "you don't need to add them", "you don't need to add this code", "you don't need to add tests"). Consider standardizing a single closing sentence (e.g., "You don't need to change the sample project; these examples are for your future reference.") and apply it consistently to lines 282, 330, 388, 436, and 466 for improved clarity and uniform reader experience.
