Summary of Changes

Hello @Liongrass, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on a documentation cleanup initiative within the lnd/docs directory. The primary goal is to remove outdated, experimental, or misplaced documentation files to streamline the repository's content. This effort ensures that the remaining documentation is relevant, current, and appropriately located, thereby improving the overall clarity and maintainability of the project's guides and references.

Highlights

• Removal of Experimental etcd Documentation: The docs/etcd.md file, detailing experimental etcd support, has been removed. This feature never progressed beyond an experimental stage and was never officially recommended for use.
• Relocation of NAT Traversal Guide: The docs/nat_traversal.md guide has been removed, as its content is deemed more suitable for the Builder's Guide repository, promoting better organization of documentation.
• Deletion of Obsolete Ruby Script: The docs/ruby-thing.rb script, which was last modified eight years ago and likely served to generate a Table of Contents, has been removed due to its apparent obsolescence and lack of current utility.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

🟢 PR Severity: LOW

Documentation cleanup | 3 files | 120 lines changed

Analysis

This PR removes outdated documentation files from the repository:

1. etcd.md: Documentation for an experimental feature from v0.11 that was never recommended for production use
2. nat_traversal.md: User guide content that's being moved to the Builder's Guide repository
3. ruby-thing.rb: An 8-year-old script whose purpose is unclear and no longer maintained

Severity Rationale: Documentation-only changes fall under the LOW severity category per the classification rules. These deletions:

• Do not affect any runtime code or functionality
• Remove only documentation files (docs/* and *.md)
• Require best-effort review only
• Pose no risk to Lightning Network operations

This is a straightforward cleanup PR that improves documentation organization without any technical risk.

🟢 PR Severity: LOW

Documentation cleanup | 4 files | 121 lines deleted

Analysis

This PR removes redundant documentation files from the docs/ directory. All changes are purely documentation-related with no code modifications. This is a straightforward cleanup that removes 121 lines across 4 documentation files.

According to the severity classification rules, documentation files (docs/*, *.md) are classified as LOW severity and receive best-effort review. There are no code changes, no API modifications, and no functional impact on lnd's operation.

Recommendation: This is safe to merge after a quick review to ensure the removed documentation is indeed redundant and not referenced elsewhere.

🟢 PR Severity: LOW

Documentation cleanup | 4 files | 121 lines changed

Analysis

This PR removes redundant documentation from the /docs directory. All changes are limited to documentation files and a Ruby script, with no functional code changes to the lnd codebase. According to the severity classification rules, documentation-only changes (docs/*, .md files, scripts/) fall into the LOW severity category, requiring best-effort review.

The PR is a pure cleanup operation:

• Removes outdated or redundant documentation (INSTALL.md, etcd.md, nat_traversal.md)
• Removes a Ruby script (ruby-thing.rb)
• 0 additions, 121 deletions across 4 files
• No impact on runtime behavior, APIs, or critical systems

Recommendation: This can be reviewed by any maintainer familiar with the documentation structure. No specialized domain knowledge is required.
