eg, the Mono#transform method docs say the following:
Transform this Mono in order to generate a target Mono
What does "target Mono" mean?

It's not always consistent, but in the reactor documentation, the use of "target" generally signals that the type of the publisher potentially changes. In the case of transform() I'm pretty sure it's actually meant to say "target type", as the docs for both transformDeferred() and transformDeferredContextual() do - there's no reason why it would be any different from the standard transform() operator.
Don't overthink it though - it's simply the Mono that's been transformed by the method. "Target" doesn't have any special meaning in a reactive context that you need to be aware of.
