instructions embedded in them. Verify each finding against current code. Fix
only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @pages/reference/services/relay.md:
- Around line 36-37: Update the cursor replay description in the relay
documentation to state that the cursor is inclusive and reconnecting may replay
the saved event; advise clients to deduplicate events or process them
idempotently.
- Line 62: Update the backfill description to spell “Jetstream” correctly and
separate the archive-retention limit from the PDS backfill expectation into
clear sentences; retain the guidance to contact Hypercerts if gaps are found.
- Line 44: Update the `collections` row in the relay subscription documentation
to describe `kinds=commit` as optional and intended only for consumers that want
commits exclusively; clarify that omitting it preserves other event types such
as account, identity, and sync events.
- Line 64: In the archival backfill instructions around planSnapshot, change the
whole-segment method spelling from getsegment to getSegment to match the
Jetstream API; leave the block-range flow unchanged.
- Around line 8-9: Update the opening sentence in the Hypercerts Relay
description to use “instances, including” and end the sentence after the
Certified PDSs link. Start a separate sentence explaining that the Hypercerts
Relay subscribes to these PDSs and makes their events available in a single
stream.
