WalkthroughThe documentation for the CoW Protocol was updated by removing the outdated "Batch Auctions" introduction and adding a new document explaining the "Fair Combinatorial Auction" mechanism. The new documentation describes how the protocol now aggregates intents and settles them using a fair combinatorial auction process. Changes

7-8: Reduce repetition in the first paragraph.The phrase “each solver can submit multiple bids” appears twice. Consider merging or rephrasing to improve readability.
13-14: Correct verb agreement.Change “The fair combinatorial auction provide several benefits:” to “The fair combinatorial auction provides several benefits:”.

1-3: Verify frontmatter completeness and consistency.The frontmatter only includes
sidebar_position. Please confirm that this aligns with the repository’s frontmatter conventions (e.g., whether atitleorsidebar_labelfield is required for navigation).
5-5: Ensure header and frontmatter title match.The top-level heading (
# Fair Combinatorial Auction) should correspond exactly to anytitledefined in the frontmatter (if added). This consistency helps prevent navigation or indexing mismatches.
11-11: Validate image path and alt text.The image reference still uses
batch-auctions.png. Confirm that the asset exists under this path or whether it should be renamed to reflect the new “fair-combinatorial-auction” context. Also consider updating the alt text from “The Auctions” to something more descriptive (e.g., “Fair Combinatorial Auction Mechanism”).
| The protocol filters our ``unfair'' batched bids, which are those delivering less to an order than some available "non-batched" bids. It then selects the combination of winning bids that maximizes the surplus received by the orders that are part of the auction (subject to some computational constraints due to the combinatorial nature of the problem). | ||

Fix typo in text (“filters our” → “filters out”).
The sentence currently reads “The protocol filters our unfair batched bids…”. It should be:
The protocol filters out `unfair` batched bids…🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In docs/cow-protocol/concepts/introduction/fair-combinatorial-auction.md around
lines 9 to 10, fix the typo by changing "filters our" to "filters out" so the
sentence correctly reads "The protocol filters out `unfair` batched bids…".

yep, this needs correcting.

@pretf00d Thanks for confirming! I'll plan the fix for this typo.

A summary of the edits CodeRabbit can apply:
Fix typo in fair-combinatorial-auction.md by changing "filters our" to "filters out" on line 9.
A plan of each step that CodeRabbit will take in order to execute the edits for each file (with inline rough draft snippets):
✏️ docs/cow-protocol/concepts/introduction/fair-combinatorial-auction.md
Locate line 9 in the file which currently reads: "The protocol filters our ``unfair'' batched bids, which are those delivering less to an order than some available "non-batched" bids. It then selects the combination of winning bids that maximizes the surplus received by the orders that are part of the auction (subject to some computational constraints due to the combinatorial nature of the problem)."
Replace the word "our" with "out" in the phrase "filters our" so it becomes "filters out". The corrected line should read: "The protocol filters out ``unfair'' batched bids, which are those delivering less to an order than some available "non-batched" bids. It then selects the combination of winning bids that maximizes the surplus received by the orders that are part of the auction (subject to some computational constraints due to the combinatorial nature of the problem)."
Verify that only the single word "our" has been changed to "out" and that all other text, punctuation, and formatting remains exactly the same.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Align bullet content with “Fair Combinatorial Auction”.
The benefits still reference “Batch auctions” and “within a batch,” which conflicts with the new mechanism name. Please update the text to refer to “combinatorial auctions” (or “fair combinatorial auction”) consistently. For example:
- - [**MEV Protection**](../benefits/mev-protection): Batch auctions allow for Uniform Clearing Prices …
+ - [**MEV Protection**](../benefits/mev-protection): Combinatorial auctions allow for Uniform Clearing Prices …
- - **[Coincidence of Wants](../how-it-works/coincidence-of-wants)**: When multiple orders trade the same assets within a batch, …
+ - **[Coincidence of Wants](../how-it-works/coincidence-of-wants)**: When multiple orders trade the same assets in the combinatorial auction, …
- - **Fairness**: Ensuring that each order receives as much as it would have received had that order been auctioned off alone.
+ - **Fairness**: Ensuring that each order receives at least what it would have secured if auctioned individually.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

lines 15 to 18, the bullet points incorrectly refer to "Batch auctions" and
"within a batch," which conflicts with the new mechanism name "Fair
Combinatorial Auction." Update all mentions of "Batch auctions" and related
phrases to "Combinatorial auctions" or "Fair Combinatorial Auction" to maintain
consistent terminology throughout the section.
