Pull request overview
This PR reduces docs/src/content/docs/patterns/trial-ops.md by ~24% (294 → 224 lines) by eliminating redundant content, consolidating verbose sections into prose or tables, and removing a "Common Trial Patterns" section whose examples were already covered elsewhere in the document.
Changes:
- Replaced the NOTE callout + 2 redundant intro paragraphs with a single concise opening sentence
- Converted 4 "Repository Modes" subsections into a compact table with a targeted WARNING callout
- Removed the "Common Trial Patterns" section (7 duplicate flag examples already shown in earlier sections), the 7-step "Development Workflow" numbered list (replaced with a prose sentence), and extraneous verbose descriptions throughout
