Code Review

This pull request adds a new RenderObject entry to the glossary and links to it from the declarative UI documentation. The changes are well-structured and achieve the goal. I've added one minor suggestion to improve the readability of the documentation by avoiding repetitive linking.

[gemini-code-assist]

While it's great to link to the new glossary term, linking every occurrence of RenderObject in this short paragraph can be a bit distracting for the reader. It's generally better to link only the first occurrence in a section. Consider removing the links from the second and third mentions on these lines.

Suggested change

	[`RenderObject`s](/resources/glossary#renderobject) [(API link)][].
	A `RenderObject persists between frames and Flutter's lightweight Widgets
	RenderObjects persist between frames and Flutter's lightweight Widgets
	tell the framework to mutate the RenderObjects between states.
