Summary

This is a clean rebuild of the intended docs information architecture changes on top of current upstream main. Most of the diff is structural moves, regrouping, and redirects, with a smaller set of targeted onboarding and cleanup updates.

Key changes

Reorganize the docs around clearer entry points

  • Reframes the site around six top-level sections: Getting Started, Core Concepts, Networks & Tools, Provide Storage, Build on Filecoin, and Reference.
  • Moves existing content into that structure and updates the main entry points to match.

Improve onboarding and current recommended paths

  • Adds build/getting-started.md and getting-started/how-storage-works/upload-to-filecoin.md to give clearer starting points for builders and storage users.
  • Refreshes PDP landing content and cookbook storage/retrieval guidance so current paths are easier to find.

Consolidate retired material and align terminology

  • Consolidates retired Saturn, RaaS, and other legacy programmatic-storage material into legacy/README.md.
  • Renames Skills to Core Competencies and Deprecated networks to Legacy networks.
  • Adds reference/general/moved-content.md as a pointer for content that now lives elsewhere.

Keep navigation and redirects in sync

  • Updates SUMMARY.md and .gitbook.yaml to match the new structure and preserve moved URLs.
  • Keeps the PDP install page aligned with current upstream security posture and does not reintroduce the removed secure_path sudo snippet.

How to review

Review commit-by-commit. The branch is split into six focused commits so structure, legacy consolidation, onboarding, navigation, and cleanup can be audited separately:

  1. docs(ia): move content into updated top-level sections
  2. docs(legacy): consolidate archived and retired content
  3. docs(onboarding): add new getting-started and upload guidance
  4. docs(terms): align terminology and section names
  5. docs(nav): update summary and redirects for the new IA
  6. docs(cleanup): apply final link, wording, and formatting fixes

Validation

  • npm run build

…path guides

Standardize 18 section READMEs as TOC pages with consistent format.
Author Filecoin Onchain Cloud overview with FWSS, PDP, Filecoin Pay,
and Synapse SDK. Create PDP About page with protocol explanation.
Refine upload-to-filecoin and build/getting-started as conceptual
guides with external refs. Remove 4 orphaned files, update redirects.
Add a comprehensive GitBook documentation section covering content
structure, frontmatter fields, internal links, and custom blocks
(hints, tabs, cards, code blocks). Fix incorrect IPLD repository
link (was pointing to libp2p). Clean up trailing whitespace,
normalize list markers to asterisks, and fix Filecoin capitalization.
…kbook

Re-import the filecoin-pin cookbook (README, CLI guide, dApp demo, GitHub
Action, FAQ, ERC-8004 agent registration guide, and assets) under
build/cookbook/filecoin-pin/ in their formatted form, and register the
section in .gitbook.yaml redirects so prior URLs continue to resolve.
…lecoin.io links

- Add Filecoin Pin section and pages to SUMMARY.md and link it from
  the cookbook landing page.
- Replace https://docs.filecoin.io/* internal references with relative
  markdown paths across the glossary, protocol API, lotus components,
  and slashing-related pages, so the docs quality link-checker stops
  flagging them.
…n-restore

docs(cookbook): restore filecoin-pin and wire up navigation
Refs filecoin-project/filecoin-pin#444

- Flip landing page from alpha/calibration to production-ready on mainnet
- Broaden audience framing to include Storacha, Pinata, other pinning users
- Add new Getting Started page with end-to-end onboarding flow
- Add Getting Started to sidebar as first Filecoin Pin subpage

Existing CLI page intentionally retained for side-by-side preview
comparison; will be refreshed in a follow-up.
Per review feedback in filecoin-project#444 thread:

- Add "Inspect your storage proofs" section to Getting Started covering
  filecoin-pin data-set --ls and data-set <id> (per Jen's request to
  preserve the prove-storage content from the old CLI page).
- Delete builder-cookbook/filecoin-pin/filecoin-pin-cli.md.
- Drop the CLI page entry from SUMMARY.md.
- Drop the CLI page item from the Filecoin Pin landing list.
- Update ERC-8004 page references to point at Getting Started.
…in-project#2461)

* docs(filecoin-pin): mainnet GA updates and PR review feedback

- getting-started: Node.js 22 → 24, IPFS standard tooling wording,
  unique demo file content with date, store vs upload wording, IPNI
  link, multiple times per day proofs, add behind-the-scenes link
- faq: reframe for mainnet-first; update "How can I use today?" and
  "How long is my data stored?" to lead with Mainnet
- erc-8004: use relative link for Getting Started; drop invalid
  --mainnet flags (mainnet is default)
- dapp-demo: Node.js 18+ → 24+; fix broken #support-info anchor and
  typo "communcation"

* docs(filecoin-pin): address PR review feedback

- "via IPFS standard tooling" -> "using standard IPFS tooling"

- Update erc-8004 Getting Started reference: testnet tokens -> FIL/USDFC
  to match the current mainnet-focused Getting Started guide

* docs: address BigLep's review feedback (GER-1011)

Resolve the high/medium items from BigLep's review of filecoin-project#2457:
fix broken/missing redirects, correct stale entry-point copy, and
remove the misleading moved-content page.

- Delete reference/general/moved-content.md (Filecoin Pin lives in-repo)
  and drop it from SUMMARY.md
- Add redirects for builder-cookbook/data-storage/{store-data,
  retrieve-data,privacy-and-access-control}
- Repoint builder-cookbook/dapps/{oracles,cross-chain-bridges} to
  build/advanced/*; fix smart-contracts/fundamentals/overview mapping
- Archive the chain-data-query tutorial in legacy-content.md and
  repoint its redirect
- Update WELCOME.md cards to the new IA labels and links
- Align cookbook README with the reference-only/link-out strategy
- Replace hardcoded FOC pricing with links to the FOC docs
- Add a scheduled check:rpcs CI workflow
- Fix stale "Was this page helpful?" prefill URLs in the cookbook

* docs: mention Curio as the modern SP stack in upload guide

Add Curio (with links to curiostorage.org and docs.curiostorage.org) as
the modern storage-provider stack in the direct deal-making section, so
the builder-facing decision page no longer reads as Boost/Lotus-only.
Addresses BigLep review item 15.
