ui: remove the maintainer-extension's public UI surface (route, nav, docs, download link) #8597

Description

@JSONbored

Problem

apps/loopover-extension (the maintainer-facing browser extension) is being removed as unused cruft (parent epic). Before the package itself is deleted, its live public-facing surface on apps/loopover-ui needs to come down first — landing the package/build removal (the next sub-issue) before this would leave a "Download extension" button on the live site pointing at a zip that's stopped being generated (a real broken download, not just a stale link). apps/loopover-miner-extension has no equivalent UI page — this issue is scoped to the maintainer extension's surface only.

Requirements

  • Delete the dedicated route apps/loopover-ui/src/routes/extension.tsx (route path /extension) and its test apps/loopover-ui/src/routes/extension.test.tsx. This includes the ExtensionTokenButton component and its call to POST /v1/auth/extension/session — do not preserve any part of this page elsewhere.
  • Remove the two navigation links to /extension:
    • apps/loopover-ui/src/components/site/site-footer.tsx — the { to: "/extension", label: "Browser extension" } entry in the "Product" column.
    • apps/loopover-ui/src/components/site/command-palette.tsx — the { label: "Browser extension", to: "/extension", group: "Reference" } entry.
  • Remove the extension-specific copy from apps/loopover-ui/src/routes/roadmap.tsx (the "Phase 2: maintainer trust and browser extension" section, its bullet list, and the { to: "/extension", label: "Open extension page" } link) — do not leave a roadmap phase referencing a removed page. If removing the copy leaves an empty/broken phase entry, restructure the surrounding roadmap data so it reads coherently, not just delete the extension-specific lines in place.
  • Remove the /extension entry from apps/loopover-ui/public/sitemap.xml.
  • Remove the ## Browser extension states section from apps/loopover-ui/content/docs/maintainer-install-trust.mdx (including its extension-state-map.txt code block) and the cross-link to /extension in that same file's closing paragraph.
  • Remove the "repeat the extension block in your override file" reference in apps/loopover-ui/content/docs/self-hosting-operations.mdx (verify this line still makes sense in context after removal — it may need rewording, not just deletion, depending on what surrounding text assumes).
  • Update the | Browser extension | [Extension page](https://loopover.ai/extension) | row out of the root README.md table.
  • apps/loopover-ui/src/routeTree.gen.ts is TanStack Router's own generated file — do not hand-edit it; regenerate it as part of the app's normal build/dev process after the route file is deleted, and commit the regenerated result.
  • Do not touch apps/loopover-miner-ui/** — it references the miner-extension only in a README sentence and a code comment (no live page), which is out of scope for this issue (covered structurally by the next sub-issue's package deletion, not a UI-surface removal).

Deliverables

  • /extension route, its test, and both nav links removed
  • Roadmap copy, sitemap entry, docs section, and README row removed/updated
  • routeTree.gen.ts regenerated and committed
  • apps/loopover-ui builds, lints, and typechecks clean with the route gone
  • npm run ui:test passes with no leftover reference to the deleted route/components

Links & Resources

Parent epic (this issue is blocked-by nothing; it's the first to land). apps/loopover-ui/public/downloads/loopover-extension.zip (the artifact this page's button downloads — gitignored, still generated by the build until the next sub-issue lands; do not touch the build script here).

Boundaries

UI-only. No changes to apps/loopover-extension/** itself, scripts/build-extension.ts, turbo.json, ci.yml, or any backend (src/**) code — those are the next two sub-issues. The backend endpoint POST /v1/auth/extension/session stays live and functional after this issue (only its UI caller is removed); it is decommissioned in the third sub-issue, after the client package itself is gone.

maintainer-only — public-site content and navigation authority.
