Projectile goes out of its way to tag every prompt with a completion category, and Marginalia is the package that turns those categories into something you can see - file sizes and modification times at projectile-find-file, major modes at projectile-switch-to-buffer, and now annotations on project candidates too. The manual never suggested installing it though; it just name-dropped it in a list of things that happen to work.

So there's now a short "recommended setup" section (vertico + marginalia + orderless) with a before/after shot of projectile-find-file, and the getting-started tip and the usage section point at it. Docs only.

The completion categories Projectile advertises exist so that packages
like Marginalia can do something with them, but the manual never
actually suggested installing it - it only name-dropped it in a list of
things that happen to work.

Add a short "recommended setup" section (vertico + marginalia +
orderless) with a before/after shot of `projectile-find-file', and point
the getting-started tip and the usage section at it.
