Description

The Roo Code VS Code extension was discontinued on May 15, 2026 and its repository archived, with the upstream team officially recommending Cline. The docs still presented roo-code as a fully supported client, which no longer matches reality. This updates the docs to match the deprecation landing in the CLI.

  • Flagged Roo Code as Deprecated in the client compatibility table and added a warning admonition to the "Roo Code and Cline" section recommending thv client register cline.
  • Dropped the roo-code and cline entries from the CLI registration examples in client-configuration.mdx in favor of codex and antigravity (these are illustrative examples only).
  • Removed Roo Code from the enterprise supported-clients list.

The CLI reference pages under reference/cli/ are intentionally left untouched; they're auto-synced from the toolhive repo and will pick up the (deprecated) marker on the next sync.

The Roo Code VS Code extension was discontinued on May 15, 2026 and its
repository archived, with the upstream team pointing users to Cline.
Reflect this in the docs so they stop signaling the client is supported.

- Flag Roo Code as deprecated in the client compatibility table and add a
  warning to the Roo Code section recommending Cline
- Drop the roo-code (and cline) entries from the CLI registration examples
  in favor of codex and antigravity
- Remove Roo Code from the enterprise supported-clients list

Companion to stacklok/toolhive#5415 (part of stacklok/toolhive#5017).
