Risk assessment: Very Low.
This PR adds a single FAQ entry in browsers/pools/faq.mdx with no codepath, config, navigation, infrastructure, schema, auth, or security-boundary changes. The blast radius is limited to documentation copy for one browser pools page. I found no existing approvals and no CODEOWNERS file or requested codeowner reviewers, so I'm approving.

Risk assessment: Very Low
This PR only adds a short FAQ entry to browsers/pools/faq.mdx clarifying browser pool/profile behavior. The diff is documentation-only, limited to one page, with no changes to codepaths, generated API references, navigation/configuration, infrastructure, prompts, or shared systems. I also didn’t find a CODEOWNERS file requiring owner review, and there were no existing approvals to preserve.
Approved based on the current diff.

Summary
Adds a pools FAQ entry explaining that updating a profile's contents does not propagate to already-warmed idle browsers in a pool. Pool browsers load profile contents at fill time; the only way to force a pool to pick up new profile contents is to flush idle browsers (or
browserPools.updatewithdiscard_all_idle: true).Test plan

Low Risk
