The JavaDoc parts mostly look good, but a few details about how the doc file path is created can be improved. Since I'm more familiar with the code I could contribute the changes. Alternatively, I can help with any questions.
src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets/formats/html/resources/standard.properties line 427:
> 425: doclet.PreviewTrailingNote1=Programs can only use {0} when preview features are enabled.
> 426: doclet.PreviewTrailingNote2=Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.
> 427: doclet.Restricted.url={@docRoot}/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/RestrictedMethods.html
There is no reason to add the path to the properties, as it will not be internationalized. The place to put this would be `jdk.javadoc.internal.doclets.toolkit.util.DocPaths`, but I would only define the file name `RestrictedMethods.html` there as the rest of the path can be resolved as a doc-file relative to the `java.lang` package.
