This commit updates the documentation for manually editing custom modes (`.roomodes`) to improve clarity and help users avoid some parsing pitfalls discovered during real-world testing. The key changes include: * Adding a new "Troubleshooting & Known Limitations" section to centralize practical advice. * Clarifying that YAML Anchors & Aliases (`&`, `*`) are not supported by the parser. * Warning that the complex `fileRegex` permission syntax is unstable and recommending a simpler, more reliable alternative (`groups: [read, edit]`). * Adding guidance on basic details like ensuring UTF-8 file encoding and avoiding invisible characters in indentation. These updates provide an accurate reflection of the YAML parser's behavior and will lead to a better user experience.

@HumanSpark why not just fix the limitation? |

Good question. Lack of confidence mostly! I've never used git before, and haven't "coded in anger" in decades. |

Should be fixed by RooCodeInc/Roo-Code#5099 |
