[docs-scanner] Missing deprecation notice for automated builds in account deactivation guide #26026

Description

@docker-agent

File: content/manuals/accounts/individual/deactivate-user-account.md

Issue

The prerequisites section instructs users to unlink GitHub or Bitbucket accounts for automated builds, but provides no deprecation notice:

If you linked a GitHub or Bitbucket account for automated builds, unlink it. See Unlink a GitHub user account or Unlink a Bitbucket user account.

However, the linked file link-source.md clearly states that automated builds are deprecated and will be fully retired on April 1, 2027.

Why this matters

Readers following the account deactivation guide should know that automated builds are deprecated. Without this context, they may spend time unlinking accounts for a feature that's being retired, or may be confused about whether this prerequisite still applies.

Suggested fix

Add a deprecation notice to the automated builds prerequisite. For example:

Note: Docker Hub Automated Builds is deprecated and will be retired on April 1, 2027. If you linked a GitHub or Bitbucket account for automated builds, unlink it. See Unlink a GitHub user account or Unlink a Bitbucket user account.

Or consider removing this prerequisite entirely if automated builds will be retired before this documentation is next reviewed.
