 # Configuration for github/issue-labeler - body-based labels
 # See: https://github.com/github/issue-labeler
 # Uses regex patterns to match PR/issue body content
-# All checkbox patterns require ## Type of change header first to avoid matching examples
+# Checkbox patterns use (.|[\r\n])*? for cross-line matching ([\s\S] may not work in all engines)
