Summary

• Removes the require: '@redpanda-data/docs-extensions-and-macros/extensions/modify-redirects' line from this repo's Antora playbook.

Why

docs-extensions-and-macros#273 deletes the hand-rolled produce-redirects.js fork and its ./extensions/modify-redirects export subpath — Antora's own site-generator already calls the real @antora/redirect-producer unconditionally, so the fork was redundant (and had drifted a real bug: it didn't unpublish self-referential aliases the way upstream does).

Once that version is published, any build that still requires the deleted subpath fails immediately with ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED, before rendering a single page. This was found by a real Antora build against the full playbook, not just docs-extensions-and-macros' own unit tests (which don't exercise any downstream playbook).

Confirmed via gh api that this line is still present in six repos today; docs (#1960), cloud-docs (#689), and redpanda-labs (#295) already have this exact fix open. This PR covers this repo.

Test plan

• Verify the Antora build still succeeds after this line is removed (no facility change needed — the built-in redirect-producer runs automatically either way).
• Merge alongside or after docs-extensions-and-macros#273, not before it also lands.

PR review: fix: stop requiring the drifted redirect-producer fork (#4)

Overall assessment: Superseded. This PR can be closed.

• The change is already on main. Source the Connect reference partials from the Connect release asset #5 ("Source the Connect reference partials from the Connect release asset", 2026-10-10) removed the modify-redirects line from local-antora-playbook.yml.
• Merging would change nothing. A test merge into current main applies cleanly but leaves the files identical to main. Nothing else in the repo still references modify-redirects.
• The reason for it holds. docs-extensions-and-macros#273 merged on 2026-09-01, and this repo depends on @redpanda-data/docs-extensions-and-macros ^5.55.0, so the line had to go. It's gone.

Sibling PRs: docs#1960 and cloud-docs#689 are merged. redpanda-labs#295 is still open. If redpanda-labs still requires extensions/modify-redirects, its builds will fail with ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED once they pick up a docs-extensions-and-macros version without it. That's the one worth following up.

Review using the docs-team-standards antora-conventions skill.

Closing as superseded: #5 already removed the modify-redirects line from local-antora-playbook.yml on main, so this PR no longer changes anything.
