Astro 6.4.5 deprecated markdown.remarkPlugins/rehypePlugins/remarkRehype in favour of the new unified() API. The warning came from @astrojs/starlight 0.39.3's own integration code, not our config; Starlight 0.40.0 adopts the new API, so it's gone. - astro 6.4.4 -> 6.4.5; @astrojs/starlight 0.39.3 -> 0.40.0 (brings astro-expressive-code 0.43.1, @astrojs/markdown-remark 7.2.0) - Starlight 0.40.0 adds an optional @astrojs/markdown-satteri peer (an opt-in high-performance markdown engine); it's an optional peer so pnpm doesn't install it, and we have no need for it — we stay on the default markdown-remark/unified pipeline Verified: deprecation gone; pnpm build clean (25 pages); rendering signals unchanged vs baseline (highlighting, > prompt + copy-button :has() CSS, asides, embedded casts); pnpm audit clean.
