Code Review

This pull request introduces the new Premium plan to TiDB Cloud documentation. Key changes include adding a Premium column to the feature support table, providing a detailed description of the plan's benefits, and updating its status to public preview. Review feedback suggests verifying a potential status regression for database audit logging and recommends rewriting feature descriptions to use the second person and active voice for improved clarity.

[gemini-code-assist]

The status for "Database audit logging" on the Essential plan has changed from 🔒 (private preview) to 🚧 (under development). This seems like a feature regression. Could you please confirm if this change is intentional? According to the legend, 🚧 means "under development", which is usually a step before "private preview".

[gemini-code-assist]

To align with the style guide's preference for using the second person ("you") and active voice, I suggest rewriting these feature descriptions for better clarity and a more direct address to the user. This will make the benefits of the Premium plan clearer.
