This chapter looks very good ❤️. Very nice use of examples. Not sure if you want some other feedback but my usual way is, we can merge things that are better than the current state and then improve later.

| Coercions are implicit operations which transform a value into a different type. A coercion *site* is a position where a coercion is able to be implicitly performed. There are two kinds of coercion sites: | ||
| - one-to-one | ||
| - LUB (Least-Uppper-Bound) |

This chapter feels a bit incomplete without accompanying docs for adjustments and expectations but that can definitely be a future PR ✨ cc #2663
The structure of this chapter is kinda meh, it's mostly just a pile of information in not too much of a thought out reading order
