task: De-promote thirdweb — keep one tool page at parity with other tools, drop code examples and recommendations #2255

Description

@GigaHierz

Part of #2266.

What needs to be done?

Decided: thirdweb stays in the docs as a listed tool but is no longer promoted — no more prominent than Hardhat, Foundry, viem or any other tool, no tutorials, no "recommended" wording.

At bdf40b37 thirdweb appears in:

  • 4 in-nav pages: tooling/dev-environments/thirdweb/{overview,thirdweb,one-click-deploy}.mdx, tooling/libraries-sdks/thirdweb-sdk/index.mdx
  • 3 orphaned pages: build-on-celo/build-with-thirdweb/{overview,celo-nft-drop-tutorial}.mdx and build-on-celo/build-with-thirdweb/one-click quickstart.mdx (space in the filename; URL-encoded redirect source at docs.json:3151)
  • a provider entry in tooling/wallets/index.mdx:92
  • an "Alternative" section on build-on-celo/build-with-ai/x402.mdx
  • 3 image assets (img/thirdweb.svg, img/thirdweb-explore.png, img/building/how-to-deploy/thirdweb/thirdweb-explore.png)
  • a redirect chain at docs.json:1468 → /build/build-with-thirdweb/celo-nft-drop-tutorial, which is itself a redirect source (line 3147)

Definition of done

Code:

  • The 7 pages collapsed into one neutral page: what it is, Celo chain configuration, link to thirdweb's own docs — same group and format as the other tools. OPEN: home it under dev-environments or under SDKs; pick one and apply the same choice to the redirects
  • Tutorials, step-by-step code examples, and "recommended" / "easiest way" wording removed
  • The 6 other paths redirect to the one page; one-click quickstart.mdx deleted
  • Wallet-provider entry in tooling/wallets/index.mdx kept as a plain list item (parity with the other providers)
  • x402 "Alternative" section reduced to one link
  • Redirect chain at docs.json:1468 resolved
  • Unused images removed
  • npx mintlify broken-links green

Ops (separate, outside the repo):

  • Follow-up tracked outside this repository.

Non-goals

Removing thirdweb entirely.

Depends on / blocks

Depends on #2252 (orphan-handling boundary — this ticket owns the 3 thirdweb orphans). Blocks #2259.
