Documentation check for this addition

35 additional actions were checked against the official documentation on 2026-11-02. Existing actions were retained. These are documentary checks, not tests in installed applications. A dash means this batch does not provide a verified binding for that system. Context such as PDF viewer, text field or address bar is part of the action.
