* docs: correct Win11 Creator behavior after the ISO workflow refactor The creator stopped stripping unused editions, loading offline registry hives, and running component store cleanup in #4862. It now copies the ISO contents and applies the selected edition through sources\ei.cfg and autounattend.xml, leaving install.wim alone unless drivers are injected. Update the guide and the architecture reference to match, and note that the output ISO is close to the size of the source. * docs: align disk space, driver injection, and stuck-run guidance The disk space block still carried the pre-refactor 10-15 GB workspace, 2.5-3.5 GB output, and ~25 GB total, which contradicted the copy-based numbers in the data flow. Restate them against the source ISO size. Driver injection never touches boot.wim. It adds every exported driver to the selected install.wim index and stages only the storage packages in $WinpeDriver$ for WinPE, so correct both the guide and the reference. The stuck-run troubleshooting entry pointed at a WIM dismount that only happens when driver injection is enabled. * docs: narrow this PR back to the edition and output size claims The earlier commits rewrote the surrounding Win11 Creator sections, which went well beyond what #4918 was about and presented the rest of the section as reviewed when it had not been. Restore the untouched text and keep only the claims that promised a size reduction or edition removal: the strip-editions and component store bullets, the two data flow lines, and the modified ISO size.
