Removed in v2.18.2, but the page still walked people through configuring one and the intro still promised three trigger types. A short note stands where the section was, rather than nothing. People will search for this, and anyone who had a Kafka trigger needs to know it became a disabled webhook trigger rather than disappearing. Self-hosters get the environment variable warning from the changelog, since that one bites on upgrade. The Kafka input state section in the jobs docs goes too, along with the link that pointed at it.

Short Description
Kafka triggers were removed in v2.18.2, but the docs still explain how to configure one. This replaces that section with a short note and drops the Kafka input state section.
Details
The page intro promised three trigger types and the section below it walked through connecting a cluster, complete with a screenshot and a "known sharp edges" list written as an ongoing beta.
I left a note rather than deleting outright. People will search for this, and anyone who had a Kafka trigger needs to know it became a disabled webhook trigger rather than vanishing. Self-hosters get the
KAFKA_TRIGGERS_ENABLEDwarning, since that one bites on upgrade.Removal shipped in OpenFn/lightning 2.18.2 on 2 Sep, per its changelog.
Note this touches the same file as #849, though the two apply cleanly together.
