## Why The docs sync from `sourcegraph/sourcegraph` ([`doc/_generated.push.sh`](https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/blob/main/doc/_generated.push.sh)) does `cp -R -L doc/cli/** _clone/docs/cli/` — it only adds and updates pages, never deletes. So when a command is removed from src-cli, its reference page lingers here forever. Replaying the sync against `main` shows zero drift in the 62 generated pages, but 36 files under `docs/cli/references/` are never written by it. This PR deletes the 28 that are stale. No redirects are added; none of these pages are linked from anywhere in the site. ## Removed (28 files) **Command removed from src-cli** | Pages | Removal | |---|---| | `extensions/{index,copy,delete,get,list,publish}` | sourcegraph/src-cli#1173 (extensions platform sunset) | | `lsif` | sourcegraph/src-cli#1147 (→ `src code-intel upload`) | | `scout` | sourcegraph/src-cli#1196 | | `sbom`, `signature` | sourcegraph/src-cli#1273 (SBOMs/signatures no longer published as of 7.0.2852; the how-tos already carry deprecation notices) | | `admin` | sourcegraph/src-cli#1309 (built for the appliance, which never launched) | | `validate` | sourcegraph/src-cli#1310 | **Command never shipped** `prompts` + 13 subcommand pages (#1155) documented sourcegraph/src-cli#1168, which was closed unmerged. **Stale duplicates shadowing generated pages** `auth.mdx` and `codeowners.mdx` collide with `auth/index.mdx` / `codeowners/index.mdx`: contentlayer flattens both to `cli/references/auth`, and `allPosts.find` returned the stale flat file. After this change `/cli/references/auth` and `/cli/references/codeowners` render the generated group pages (verified with `contentlayer build`). ## Kept `search-jobs/{cancel,create,delete,get,list,logs,restart,results}` — the subcommands exist, but `src doc` only emits a single `search-jobs.md` because `searchJobsCommands` isn't in the `commanders` map in [`cmd/src/doc.go`](https://github.com/sourcegraph/src-cli/blob/main/cmd/src/doc.go#L59-L66). Fix belongs upstream. ## Verification - `npx tsc --noEmit` passes - `npx contentlayer build` generates 493 docs; `cli/references/auth` and `cli/references/codeowners` now resolve to the `index.mdx` files - No remaining links to the deleted slugs anywhere in `docs/` or `src/` ## Follow-up (upstream) To stop this recurring, `_generated.push.sh` should mirror `docs/cli/references/` (delete-then-copy) instead of copying over it. Done in sourcegraph/sourcegraph#15529 (merge after sourcegraph/sourcegraph#15528 and #1889). ## Amp threads - [Stale command docs](https://ampcode.com/threads/T-01a08410-86ca-72be-9928-2810e837fae1) Co-authored-by: Amp <amp@ampcode.com>

This command was added for Sourcegraph appliance which was a product that never launched. It is not used anywhere else and also contains some anti patterns regarding password reading.
