Review findings

Critical issues

None.

Suggestions

None for the scope as defined.

What works well

• Cleanly scoped, minimal footprint (3 page deletions + nav).
• Nav and deletions align.
• No dangling xrefs to the deleted pages anywhere in the repo.

Impact on other files (cross-repo)

Not in scope for this PR as defined, but worth flagging as a follow-up:

• modules/reference/partials/rpk-cloud/rpk-cloud-mcp.adoc, rpk-cloud-mcp-install.adoc, rpk-cloud-mcp-proxy.adoc, rpk-cloud-mcp-stdio.adoc — These 4 partials are the single-source content included by cloud-docs rpk-cloud-mcp* pages that cloud-docs FIPS Doc #562 deletes. Once that PR merges, these partials become orphans (not included anywhere) and also contain internal xrefs to ai-agents:mcp/remote/quickstart.adoc which will no longer exist.
  • Recommendation: Add a follow-up PR to this repo to delete these 4 orphan partials, OR extend this PR's scope to include them.

[micheleRP]

actually, one thing: should you add the deprecation to the RPCN what's new?
