CHECK · DEPRECATIONS

Deprecations

What NEAR has removed, deprecated, changed or replaced, from six signals: archived repositories, README notices, npm and crates.io flags, release-note removals, the docs' own markers and long dormancy. Every entry links its evidence; check_code and check_deprecation answer from this list.
