Code Review

This pull request effectively documents the new append_mode table option for ALTER TABLE across English, Chinese, and versioned documentation files. The accompanying formatting normalizations improve the overall readability and consistency of the ALTER reference. My feedback focuses on enhancing the clarity of the append_mode description to be more explicit about its irreversibility, ensuring users fully understand the implications of enabling this option.
