Sashiko comment
(https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260319052157.99433-4-sj@xxxxxxxxxx) below.

: This isn't a bug, but the phrasing "does nothing but only online parameters
: updates" is a bit awkward. Could this be reworded for clarity, perhaps to
: something like "does nothing other than apply online parameter updates"?

I pretty sure Sashiko is more English fluent than I.  But, shouldn't
's/apply/applying/' ?  I will update the sentence to "When it is paused, the
kdamond does nothing other than applying online parameter update" in the next
revision.


Thanks,
SJ
