Cameron Pfiffer fc531ca6de docs: center documentation around current Letta architecture (#5634)
* docs: restructure architecture documentation to sideline legacy agent types

This commit reorganizes the agent architecture documentation to address
confusion around legacy agent types (memgpt_agent, memgpt_v2_agent) and
clarify that users should not specify agent_type for new projects.

The documentation was causing confusion for both users and LLMs:
- References to memgpt_agent, memgpt_v2_agent, and letta_v1_agent were scattered
  throughout main docs
- The naming progression (memgpt → memgpt_v2 → letta_v1) is non-standard
- LLMs trained on these docs were recommending deprecated architectures
- Discord users were confused about which agent type to use
- send_message tool and heartbeat references were in mainline docs

- architectures_overview.mdx - Landing page explaining legacy types exist
- migration_guide.mdx - Step-by-step migration with code snippets
- naming_history.mdx - Hidden page explaining progression for LLMs
- memgpt_agents_legacy.mdx - Moved from main docs with deprecation warnings
- heartbeats_legacy.mdx - Moved from main docs with deprecation warnings

- Removed "Agent Architectures" subsection from main nav
- Moved "MemGPT Agents" to top-level (renamed "Agent Memory & Architecture")
- Removed "Heartbeats" page from main nav
- Added "Legacy & Migration" section with 5 sub-pages
- Added redirects for old URLs

- pages/agents/memgpt_agents.mdx - Completely rewritten to focus on current
  architecture without mentioning legacy agent types
- pages/agents/sleep_time_agents.mdx - Changed from agent_type to enableSleeptime
- pages/agents/base_tools.mdx - Added stronger deprecation warning for send_message
- pages/agents/overview.mdx - Updated assistant_message description
- pages/agents/tool_rules.mdx - Removed send_message default rule examples
- pages/agents/message_types.mdx - Removed heartbeat message type section
- pages/agents/json_mode.mdx - Removed send_message requirements
- pages/agents/archival_best_practices.mdx - Removed send_message tool rule example
- pages/agents/react_agents.mdx - Removed heartbeat mechanism reference
- pages/getting-started/prompts.mdx - Removed send_message note
- pages/ade-guide/simulator.mdx - Removed tip about removing send_message
- pages/advanced/custom_memory.mdx - Changed send_message to "respond to user"
- pages/deployment/railway.mdx - Removed legacy tools array from example
- pages/selfhosting/overview.mdx - Changed send_message example to memory_insert

- pages/agents/heartbeats.mdx - Moved to legacy section

Added to memory: aggressively remove send_message and heartbeat references
from main docs. Keep legacy content only in /guides/legacy/ section. Don't
add notes about legacy in main docs - just remove the references entirely.

* docs: remove evals tab from navigation

The evals content is not ready for public documentation yet.

* docs: move send_message to deprecated tools table with legacy link

- Removed Legacy Tools section
- Added send_message to Deprecated Tools table with link to legacy guide
- Removed undefined warning text

* docs: move ReAct agents to legacy section

- Moved pages/agents/react_agents.mdx to pages/legacy/react_agents_legacy.mdx
- Added deprecation warning at top
- Updated slug to guides/legacy/react_agents_legacy
- Added to Legacy & Migration navigation section
- Added redirect from old URL to new legacy location

ReAct agents are a legacy architecture that lacks long-term memory
capabilities compared to the current Letta architecture.

* docs: move workflow and low-latency architectures to legacy

- Moved pages/agents/workflows.mdx to pages/legacy/workflows_legacy.mdx
- Moved pages/agents/low_latency_agents.mdx to pages/legacy/low_latency_agents_legacy.mdx
- Deleted pages/agents/architectures.mdx (overview page no longer needed)
- Removed 'Agent Memory & Architecture' from main Agents section
- Added workflows and low-latency to Legacy & Migration section
- Added redirects for old URLs

These agent architectures (workflow_agent, voice_convo_agent) are legacy.
For new projects, users should use the current Letta architecture with
tool rules or voice-optimized configurations instead.

* docs: remove orphaned stateful workflows page

- Deleted pages/agents/stateful_workflows.mdx
- Page was not linked in navigation or from other docs
- Feature (message_buffer_autoclear flag) is already documented in API reference
- Avoids confusion with legacy workflow architectures
