Wraps the auth-gating sections of the Next.js clerkMiddleware reference with the deprecation notice (keeping anchors and clerkMiddleware config intact), redirects token-type gating to auth({ acceptsToken }) at the route, and points readers to resource-level protection. Updates the guides that taught the pattern: basic-rbac now leads with page-level checks, session-tasks elevates <RedirectToTasks />, geo-blocking and satellite-domains keep their middleware but drop the auth tail, the custom sign-in/up steps are framed as legacy, CSP examples drop the irrelevant auth gating, and the MCP guide no longer special-cases .well-known. All surviving createRouteMatcher examples use the newline-safe :path* form instead of (.*).

Stacked on #3404. Applies the deprecation across the Next.js reference and the guides that taught middleware gating.
The reference page is kept-but-wrapped: each auth-gating section keeps its existing anchor but gains the deprecation notice, token-type gating now points to
auth({ acceptsToken })at the route, and the Combine-Middleware example loses itsauth.protect()line. In the guides,basic-rbacnow leads with the page-level check,session-taskselevates<RedirectToTasks />,geo-blockingandsatellite-domainskeep their middleware but drop the auth tail, the custom sign-in/up steps are framed as legacy, the CSP examples drop the auth gating that was never relevant to CSP, and the MCP guide stops special-casing.well-known.Load-bearing bit to scrutinize: every surviving
createRouteMatcherexample moves from/foo(.*)to/foo/:path*. The(.*)form misses encoded newlines (a bypass) and over-matches/foobar;/:path*fixes both. Verified against the SDK's path-to-regexp.
