The image is hosted as a GitHub user attachment. These links can be brittle and may break if the attachment is deleted. It's recommended to store images within the repository itself (e.g., in a docs/images or assets folder) and use a relative path. This ensures the repository is self-contained and that the image will always be available.

The term 'Firestore Enterprise edition' might be confusing as this is not an official product name. While pipeline queries are an enterprise-grade feature, Cloud Firestore doesn't have different 'editions'. To improve clarity, I suggest referring to the specific feature.
