This updates a batch of user-facing text defects across docs and specs, including typos, grammar, casing, and one broken documentation link. It also aligns the integration test assertions with updated Endpoint prevention message text.

  • Helm docs cleanup

    • Corrected grammar/wording in deploy/helm/elastic-agent/CONTRIBUTING.md for the helm-docs workflow guidance.
  • Architecture doc corrections

    • Fixed providers typo and corrected the broken link target in docs/architecture.md (component-specs.md).
  • Hybrid Agent Beat receiver text fixes

    • Replaced repeated typo variants in docs/hybrid-agent-beats-receivers.md (harcoded, sub-processe, overidden) with correct wording.
  • Endpoint prevention message grammar

    • Updated specs/endpoint-security.spec.yml messages from requires Elastic Agent be ... to requires Elastic Agent to be ... across Linux/macOS/Windows prevention entries.
  • Cloudbeat description normalization

    • Updated specs/cloudbeat.spec.yml descriptions:
      • CIS elastic Kubernetes monitoringCIS EKS monitoring
      • CIS AZURE monitoringCIS Azure monitoring
      • AWS Vulnerabilities managementAWS vulnerability management
  • Integration test alignment

    • Updated mirrored message expectations in testing/integration/ess/endpoint_security_test.go to match the revised Endpoint prevention strings.

Example of the message normalization applied across spec + test:

# before
message: "Elastic Defend requires Elastic Agent be installed at the default installation path"

# after
message: "Elastic Defend requires Elastic Agent to be installed at the default installation path"
