Deprecations: the message-method options, and Removed gets its own section

[oblomov-dev]

Read resources/deprecations.md against abap2UI5 main (37302cb) rather than against the last docs change. Most of it was already current — #318 and #319 caught the seven-name removal and the JSON reader yesterday — but four things were not.

The message-method options were missing entirely

abap2UI5#2748 took eleven parameters off message_toast_display( ) (width, my, at, of, offset, collision, autoclose, animationtimingfunction, animationduration, closeonbrowsernavigation, class) and five off message_box_display( ) (textdirection, icon, closeonnavigation, dependenton, contentwidth). It is in the framework's changelog as - BREAKING: and, unlike the six removals recorded before it, it breaks a caller at compile time on the parameter rather than relocating a name — the one entry on the page that shortens a signature.

Nothing on the deprecations page said so: no row in the version-status table, no section. The options were documented only on Message and Frontend Actions, which is where a reader goes to write a message, not where they go to find out what their existing code has to stop doing. Added both, with the cs_event-control_global replacement and a pointer to Message, which already carries the per-control option tables.

"Removed" sections under a heading promising the opposite

Five sections reading Removed. sat under the H2 ## Obsolete: still compiles. They move to their own ## Removed: does not compile any more: the view parameter, cs_event-wizard_set_next_step, the URL API, check_allow_multi_req, and the new message entry. No prose in the moved sections changed.

A control that does not exist

The invisible-controls table listed a SoftKeyboard control, under a paragraph reading "The controls still ship and views that use them keep rendering". There is no such control anywhere in the framework — grep -ri softkeyboard over abap2UI5 is empty and app/webapp/cc/ has no such file. Only cs_event-keyboard_set_mode exists, which is current API and not a deprecation. Row dropped; the Soft Keyboard page it pointed at is still linked from Keyboard Shortcuts.

Two dead sample links

The two AJSON-replacement rows linked src/00/z2ui5_cl_smp_app_507 and _509. samples#843 moved them into src/01, so both 404'd. Repointed — check:samples is what found these.

Regenerated, stale on main

• The Working Samples blocks on eight pages — the same src/00 → src/01 move (npm run link:samples).
• The client API reference — it had not picked up cs_event-store_data from abap2UI5#2755 (npm run generate:api).

Both were already failing on main before this branch; neither is a hand edit.

Gates

test, check:version, docs:build, check:cross-site, check:images, check:examples, check:conventions, check:playground, check:api-names, check:api-reference and check:samples are green locally.

build and check:design could not run in this container: both borrow their four shared assets from the published playground, and this environment's network policy answers 403 for abap2ui5.github.io (no built playground checkout here either). Neither reads a file this PR touches — CI runs both.

One note for whoever works in a container next: the sibling clones' local main refs were up to 18 commits behind their remotes, and generate:api reads A2UI5_HOME at main with git show. Running it against a stale ref silently reverts the API reference — it re-added check_allow_multi_req here before the refs were fast-forwarded. Worth a git fetch before trusting a generator's output.
