Summary

Add a post-flash reboot warning to the Dragon Q6A and Q8B "Flashing SPI Boot Firmware" tutorials.

The warning tells users to do either of:

  • Re-plug the device power
  • Run edl-ng reset in the terminal

Without this hint, users commonly mis-interpret the unchanged boot behavior (caused by the old bootloader still in memory) as a failed flash.

Files touched

  • docs/dragon/q6a/low-level-dev/spi-fw.md (Chinese)
  • docs/dragon/q8b/low-level-dev/spi-fw.md (Chinese)
  • i18n/en/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/dragon/q6a/low-level-dev/spi-fw.md (English)
  • i18n/en/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/dragon/q8b/low-level-dev/spi-fw.md (English)

Why now

  • Triggered by an internal support request (吴闽龙, 2026-08-04): add the same hint for both Dragon Q6A and Q8B in lockstep.

Verification

  • python3 scripts/github_pr_guard.py check --max-scopes 2 — passed (1 commit, 4 files, 2 scopes, bilingual OK).
  • bash scripts/agent-doc-translation-guard.sh for both Q6A and Q8B Chinese sources — passed.
  • bash scripts/agent-doc-lint.sh on all 4 files — passed.

Add a warning right after the SPI boot firmware flash commands in the Dragon
Q6A and Q8B low-level docs:

- Re-plug device power
- Run `edl-ng reset` in the terminal

Without this hint, users can mistake a successful flash for a failed one
because the device keeps booting with the old bootloader. The warning tells
them to restart the device after flashing.

Both Chinese (docs/) and English (i18n/en/) versions updated in lockstep.
