Removes 15 pages that aren't in the docs navigation and are mostly invented or out of date, and redirects each one to the closest current page.

Linear: DOC-93, DOC-99, DOC-100, DOC-101, DOC-106, DOC-108, DOC-110, DOC-119, DOC-135, DOC-152

Why
The audit found these pages unreachable from the nav, full of generic or wrong content, or both. One example: the alert best practices page suggests a 67% threshold that the API rejects. Patching them would mean rewriting pages nobody can find. Hannes decided to delete them and redirect instead.

Deleted, and where each now redirects

Deleted page Redirects to

Inbound links updated

  • api-checks/setup-and-teardown.mdx: both "setup script examples" links now point to the setup scripts guide.
  • integrations/ci-cd/vercel/deployment-protection.mdx: the absolute link pointed to an anchor that no longer exists on the examples page. It now links to the API check setup and teardown page.

Every page was checked against docs.json: none is in the navigation, and no nav page links to any of them.

Overlap with other PRs

vale and npm run check:links are clean.

These pages aren't in the navigation and are largely invented or outdated.
Each deleted path redirects to the closest current page; inbound links updated.
