Description

## Text Improvements

The following user-facing text issues were found in the repository. Each is a low-effort fix.

### 1. Repeated Kubernetes config-comment typo/grammar pair

**Files:**
- `metricbeat/metricbeat.reference.yml` (line 635, line 637)
- `x-pack/metricbeat/metricbeat.reference.yml` (line 1086, line 1088)
- `metricbeat/module/kubernetes/_meta/config.reference.yml` (line 113, line 115)
- `metricbeat/module/kubernetes/_meta/config.yml` (line 75, line 77)
- `metricbeat/modules.d/kubernetes.yml.disabled` (line 78, line 80)

**Current text:**
- `# Skip events older than Metricbeat's statup time is enabled by default.`
- `# This setting is also useful went Event's timestamps are not populated properly.`

**Suggested fix:**
- `# Skipping events older than Metricbeat's startup time is enabled by default.`
- `# This setting is also useful when events' timestamps are not populated properly.`

**Why:** `statup` and `went` are clear typos, and `Event's` is incorrect possessive usage in user-facing configuration guidance.

### 2. Repeated threatintel field-description typo

**Files:**
- `x-pack/filebeat/module/threatintel/abusemalware/_meta/fields.yml` (line 14)
- `x-pack/filebeat/module/threatintel/malwarebazaar/_meta/fields.yml` (line 13)

**Current text:**
- `Malware familiy.`

**Suggested fix:**
- `Malware family.`

**Why:** `familiy` is an unambiguous spelling error in exported field-description source text.

## Suggested Actions

- [ ] Replace the two Kubernetes comment lines in all five listed files (`statup`/`went Event's`) with the corrected wording.
- [ ] Replace `Malware familiy.` with `Malware family.` in both listed threatintel `_meta/fields.yml` files.

## Completeness and duplicate check

- Completeness pass patterns used: `statup`, `went Event's timestamps`, `Malware familiy`.
- All verified in-scope source occurrences for these patterns are included above.
- Checked `/tmp/previous-findings.json` and current open `[text-auditor]` issues; no open issue was found for these specific families.
