[guide] LAUNCH.md launch-readiness gate still lists the removed pdf.yml pipeline — stale after PR #295 #502

Description

Documentation Gap

LAUNCH.md's launch-readiness gate table (LAUNCH.md:81) lists four content pipelines that 'must be green for 2 consecutive scheduled runs' before the W-0 launch:

| Generate Docs PDF (pdf.yml) | weekly | #123 |

But pdf.yml no longer exists: it was removed by merged PR #295 (commit 74b6519, 2026-09-21, 'ci: remove broken pdf.yml workflow', fixes #271), which determined the workflow built its output from contribute.cncf.io, not this site. Tracking issue #123 is CLOSED. .github/workflows/ now contains only ci.yml, create-milestones.yml, deploy-gh-pages.yml, import-architectures.yml, and refresh-community-people.yml.

The removal is documented nowhere in the repo's docs: grep -rni pdf over all Markdown (excluding node_modules and blog/) returns exactly one hit — the stale LAUNCH.md:81 row itself. A maintainer working the launch-readiness gate would look for a weekly pipeline that does not exist and a tracking issue that is closed.

(The adjacent row for refresh-metrics.yml is annotated 'not yet merged' and is still accurate — only the PDF row is stale.)

Verified at main@8c089a0 in a fresh clone.

Impact

Maintainers executing the launch plan get a wrong picture of the pipeline set that must be green before W-0 (2026-11-09): one of the four gated pipelines was deliberately removed, and the gate table still demands it be green.

Recommendation

Remove the 'Generate Docs PDF' row from the launch-readiness gate table in LAUNCH.md (or annotate it as removed by #295 with a one-line rationale), leaving the three live pipelines.
