I agree that using a single placeholder for the whole command is clearer for translators. I'll use this approach.

I simply forgot to include this change in the patch. I'll change it to use ADVICE_LEVEL_NONE.

One concern about reusing enum config_scope: since CONFIG_SCOPE_UNKNOWN is 0, all existing advice_setting entries without an explicitly specified scope_hint would default to CONFIG_SCOPE_UNKNOWN rather than CONFIG_SCOPE_LOCAL.

I believe this is incorrect, since the existing behavior is local scope by default. However, if you consider CONFIG_SCOPE_UNKNOWN appropriate here and it satisfies the intended requirements, I have no objection to using the existing enum.

Thanks,
