@pauby Would you be able to give this a final lookover? I can look to get it merged after.

The failing GitHub Workflow Action for the yarn npm audit will be addressed in a separate PR, so I am ok with bypassing this here.

This will go out with choco-theme 2.9.0.

It's the same typo in most of them.

I also stopped adding a comment for the dates to be updated, but if we're updating one we need to update them all of course.

@pauby For future reviews, anything located in the /dist folder does not need to be reviewed 1 by 1, since those are artifacts that are automatically generated from running yarn build. It is important though to ensure that those artifacts are generated after all review comments have been addressed. These are the files that end up in the different packages we publish.

Use the Site and associated services for purposes of managing organizational computers. Organizations using Chocolatey products should not use the Chocolatey Community Repository directly, instead using other repositories, such as their own internal repositories. Exceptions to this include:
<li>
The use of package repository solutions that use the Chocolatey Community Repository as an "upstream" to cache packages locally on that repository server.
</li>
<li>
Managing software on your personally-administered work computer using Chocolatey CLI, outside of centralized organizational IT controls.
</li>
