Thank you very much for filling the gaps!

I left a bunch of inline comments. Also, please make sure to have the Canonical CLA signed (see PR description) – as the corresponding CI check is currently failing.

question: Does this need to be indented?

I thought it will help scanning the entry but you may be right and it is not necessary. Do we have a style guideline on this?

This does need to be indented to the same depth as the rest of the definition, otherwise Sphinx won't pick up the bullet points as being part of the definition

question: Should we make a cross-reference to the newer "Intel TDX" technology here?

The TDX definition PR has now been merged, so it should be possible to add a link to that term here :)

Hi @slyon Thank you very much for your comments, and sorry for the delay getting back to you. The last 6 weeks have been crazy. I have signed the CLA. I hope you can see it now.
If you are happy with what I am doing I will carry on with the other entries. Thank you and have a lovely Sunday :-)

Generally looks good, but I've spotted a couple of other small issues that we will need to fix before merging :)

Refine definitions for TGS, TGT, tmpfs, TPM, and traceback for clarity and readability.
Clarified the definition of Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) by separating the explanation into two sentences.

Thanks for your patience with our end of year break @MariaBego56 :)

I've taken a second look at this pull request and I think we are close to being able to merge it. To make this a bit easier, I've added suggestions inline that would solve each of @slyon's earlier questions. You should be able to commit each of these directly.

After that, please take a look at the items listed in the spelling check as errors. Apart from tmfs (which I've added a suggestion to correct to tmpfs), the other two seem to be valid terms and not errors. To make the spellchecker ignore them, could you add those terms to the .custom_wordlist.txt file? The automated checks should then pass cleanly and we'll be able to merge :) thanks in advance!

LGTM, @MariaBego56 - thanks for your patience and for the updates! This all looks great, I've got two nits that are triggering the spellchecker, but I'll fix those up. Happy to merge, and thank you for all your continued hard work on the Server docs :)
