Correct the sentence grammar.

The phrase Only is populated is not grammatical. Use Populated only when ... and keep the existing conditions.

Proposed wording 
- - Scan Time: Only is populated if TD-1 is connected and enabled in system and filament was scanned
+ - Scan Time: Populated only when TD-1 is connected, enabled in the system, and filament has been scanned

As per coding guidelines, documentation must use clear, concise language and consistent terminology.

📝 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.

Suggested change
- Scan Time: Only is populated if TD-1 is connected and enabled in system and filament was scanned
- Scan Time: Populated only when TD-1 is connected, enabled in the system, and filament has been scanned

In `@docs/features.md` at line 426, Correct the “Scan Time” documentation sentence
by replacing “Only is populated” with grammatical wording such as “Populated
only when,” while preserving the existing TD-1 connection, enablement, and
filament-scanned conditions.

Source: Coding guidelines

- Lane: Tool number for this entry's `T(n)` key with the `T` stripped off. eg. entry key `T0` reports `"lane": "0"`
- Extruder Index: Current extruder index that lane is attached to, useful in multi-toolhead setups where multiple lanes can be going to one toolhead. This variable is exposed so that third-party tools could use this variable to group filament/lanes attached to a single toolhead.
- Spool ID: Spool ID assigned to this lane via [SET_SPOOL_ID](klipper/internal/spool.md#AFC_spool.AFCSpool.cmd_SET_SPOOL_ID) or [SET_NEXT_SPOOL_ID](klipper/internal/spool.md#AFC_spool.AFCSpool.cmd_SET_NEXT_SPOOL_ID). Value is an integer when a spool is assigned, or `null` when the lane is empty/ejected
