 Hello Team,

 While reviewing the core theme files, I noticed that PHPDoc blocks are
 used for documenting some global variables, which is great. However, I
 also observed that several other global variables lack consistent PHPDoc
 documentation.

 To improve code readability, support static analysis tools, and maintain
 clear documentation standards, it may be beneficial to standardize PHPDoc
 comments for all global variables throughout the Core codebase.

 Just a suggestion that could contribute to better maintainability and
 developer experience.

 Thank you!
