Pull request overview
This PR improves the discovery.kubernetes documentation with a focus on clarifying DaemonSet deployment behavior, language clarity, and readability. The changes address issue #4793 by adding prominent admonitions about performance considerations when running in DaemonSet mode.
Changes:
- Added a caution admonition highlighting that each DaemonSet Pod watches all cluster resources by default, which can cause significant API server load
- General documentation cleanup including grammar improvements, active voice conversion, and better readability
- Fixed typos and improved consistency in formatting (bullet lists, table formatting)
