v2.8.0

The highlight of this release is #809, which is a major overhaul of the developer guides into a structured, streamlined course where one guide leads into the next, along with complete example projects found in the examples repo. The release also includes some LLM optimizations and a large number of corrections, improvements, and housekeeping.

PR	What it does
#818 – fix: remove dead FairOS link and stale Sepolia network entry	Salvages two fixes from an earlier PR. Removes a dead FairOS link and deletes a stale Sepolia network entry from the docs to avoid misleading users.
#816 – chore: align .nvmrc with the Node 20 baseline	Bumps the .nvmrc file to Node 20 so that local development uses the same Node version as continuous‑integration. Prevents version drift across environments.
#815 – fix: add .js extensions to parities imports for strict ESM resolution	Updates the redundancy calculator to add explicit .js file extensions to parity imports. This change fixes strict ECMAScript‑module resolution issues when bundling the code.
#813 – feat: replace Python link‑checker submodule with TypeScript scripts	Removes a Python submodule used for checking links and replaces it with TypeScript scripts. The new approach runs during CI and keeps the repository purely JavaScript/TypeScript.
#812 – chore: remove CLAUDE.md from the repo	Deletes CLAUDE.md (a dummy file used in earlier experiments) and updates ignore patterns so it won’t be tracked in the future.
#811 – chore: fix awesome‑list.mdx gitignore path and untrack generated file	Corrects the path for awesome‑list.mdx in .gitignore and removes the previously tracked generated file, keeping the repo clean.
#810 – fix: cap postage stamp calculator depth at 34	Caps the “depth” parameter in the postage‑stamp calculator at 34 to avoid generating impractically large values. Both the UI and examples are updated accordingly.
#809 – Align developer guide series into a progressive, bee‑js‑focused path	A large restructuring of the developer guides: removes CLI‑oriented tabs, orders the tutorials in a progressive sequence and makes bee‑js the default approach. Improves the onboarding flow for new developers.
#807 – docs: Bee v2.8.0 – chequebook verification options and version bump	Bumps version numbers to v2.8.0 in the docs and adds sections explaining chequebook‑verification options and related CLI flags.
#804 – docs: reintroduce bee‑factory	Re‑adds a “bee‑factory” section that shows how to spin up local Bee clusters using Node or Docker. Provides setup instructions, options and environment variables.
#805 – fix: update example Swarm hash in desktop docs	Replaces an outdated Swarm hash in desktop‑oriented docs with a working example, updates screenshots (access2.png, access3.png, access4.png) and adds ignore entries for the example hash.
#795 – fix: correct grammar in ultra‑light‑nodes	A tiny grammar fix in the ultra‑light‑nodes guide – changes “a blockchain connections” to “a blockchain connection” to eliminate an extra plural.
#796 – docs: add PSS prerequisites section	Adds a new “Prerequisites” section to the PSS (peer‑to‑peer messaging) docs. It warns that PSS reception requires a full Bee node and highlights other requirements like a postage‑stamp batch and the recipient’s public key.
#802 – feat: add focused LLM slice files (llms-api.txt, llms-node-ops.txt)	Introduces two focused documentation bundles. The llms-api.txt slice (≈20 docs) covers API usage, uploads, stamps and feeds, while llms-node-ops.txt (≈22 docs) covers installation, configuration and node operations. These slices allow AI agents to load only the relevant pieces of the full 630 KB llms-full.txt file.
