This improves the documentation page about Build meta-data to mention that it's possible to see all meta-data of a given build by appending /meta-data to the build URL.

Thanks so much for this contribution! This information will be added through an internal Buildkite Documentation PR that updates the meta-data information.
Kind regards.

Improvements to the build meta-data documentation based on earlier PR feedback:

Clarify that meta-data is stored at the build level, not the job level, and that last-write-wins when multiple jobs set the same key.
Rewrite the dashboard filtering section to be more direct and actionable, showing the meta_data[…]=… query parameter syntax.
Use curly-brace placeholders in example URLs for consistency.
Add the /meta-data build URL for viewing all meta-data associated with a build.
