📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes consist of updates to integration metadata, ownership, and release documentation across the Home Assistant documentation repository. Numerous integration markdown files were modified to reorganize or add metadata fields such as ha_quality_scale, supported platforms, discovery protocols, and codeowners. Several integrations had their descriptions updated, release versions corrected, or platform lists expanded. The CODEOWNERS file was revised to reflect new, updated, or removed ownership entries for various integrations. The main configuration file was updated for the latest release version and date. Additionally, a new release notes file for version 2025.5 was added, summarizing new features, improvements, and breaking changes.
