How do you show minibuffer details?
The screenshot might picture marginalia as another user already mentioned. What package you want to use depends on the completion framework you are using. For built in completion framework together with vertico, icomplete or selectrum marginalia is the package you want. If you are using ivy instead, then ivy-rich provides this functionality. Surely helm has some similar functionality.

Requests for packages to add to NonGNU ELPA?
From looking at these examples, no. This is what the shortdocs look like: https://imgur.com/5pIu9A6.png. A brief summary, grouped by kinds of operations with examples. Built into Emacs, linked to from the *Help* buffer no external documentation is required.

Questions about Ivy
Having been a longtime user of ido and smex, I decided to give ivy/counsel a try. Overall, I like it very much. I like that the key-bindings are more consistent with Emacs conventions, and I like how it can be extended with packages like ivy-rich and all-the-icons-ivy-rich to add useful auxiliary information and give it a more modern looking interface. But there are still a few things that I can't wrap my head around, and for which I couldn't find a satisfactory answer online:

How to manually install emacs packages? I am unable to acess github
The packages available via the built-in package manager once configured do not come from GitHub though they may be developed there. They come from GNU ELPA NonGNU ELPA and MELPA. You would still need internet access though.

Use Portage instead of package.el for managing Emacs packages
To install elisp packages system-wide under the Portage control you can use gs-elpa. Read layman documentation before using it, as gs-elpa represents ELPA repositories as g-sorcery overlays. It currently supports 4 repositories: gnu-elpa, marmalade, melpa and melpa-stable.

melpa mirror on air-gapped network
I run emacs at work on a system that does not access the internet, so I cannot utilize the package interface that pulls directly from melpa (and elpa etc). Years ago, someone copied a version of melpa into a local directory on the air-gapped server. In my init.el, I setq package-archive to something like (("local-melpa" . "/path/to/the/melpa/dir")) so that it points to this local directory. I'm wondering if there is a tool to facilitate this sort of mirroring? I would like to update my packages on this air-gapped network. I am able to copy files onto the system from a less restricted workstation with internet access. Is it just a matter of unzipping the melpa repo and pointing package-archive to the fresh melpa directory?

Emacs *Network Security Manager* reporting 'certificate has expired' that...hasn't.
I get similar connection-security messages when attempting to connect to the package archive at https://elpa.nongnu.org/ —again, in both *Package* and in *eww*—while elpa.gnu.org seems to be just flat out nonresponsive. However, other https sites including https://duckduckgo.com/about and https://twitter.com work just fine.

Requests for packages to add to NonGNU ELPA?
I am working on adding more packages to NonGNU ELPA, the new package archive enabled by default from Emacs 28 onwards. Compared to GNU ELPA, there is no need for a copyright assignment (the only requirement is that packages do not endorse non-free software, but that is the case for most Emacs-related software to begin with).
