Research direction

Open the linked Filebeat decode_cef documentation page and inspect the table under the processor-decode-cef section in the reported browsers. Confirm the column headings, option text, fonts, and alignment, then update the documentation source so the table renders consistently and verify the page no longer shows the mismatch.
