Important: MDX files are generated

The src/content/docs/**/*.mdx files are generated artifacts produced by tools/convert.mjs from the upstream Apache JMeter xdocs/ XML. A nightly workflow (.github/workflows/sync-upstream.yml) regenerates them and opens a sync PR.

Direct edits to MDX files will be overwritten by the next sync run. To make a lasting change to documentation content:

• Prefer fixing the converter in tools/convert.mjs so the change applies to all generated pages and survives syncs.
• Or upstream the change to apache/jmeter xdocs/ so it flows down naturally.
• Or open an issue describing the desired change so maintainers can decide the best path.

Changes to non-generated files (components, styles, tools, tests, config) are not affected by the sync and can be edited directly.
