No description provided.

AppSec Kit won't be available in Vaadin 26. A replacement online service
for Vaadin Enterprise is in progress and is planned to be available
before the Vaadin 26 release, so the AppSec Kit documentation is now
marked as deprecated.

The presentation follows what the other deprecated tools (e.g. Designer)
already use, so readers see a consistent signal:

- **Dismissible caution banner** on every AppSec Kit page — `banner`,
`banner-id: appsec-kit-deprecated` and `banner-style: caution` front
matter on [guilabel]#index#, [guilabel]#Getting Started# and
[guilabel]#Advanced Topics#. The shared `banner-id` means dismissing it
once dismisses it for the whole section.
- **Deprecated badge on each page title** via the
`[deprecated:com.vaadin:vaadin@V25.3]#...#` title macro.
- **Shared warning admonition** defined once in
`articles/tools/appsec/index.adoc` as a `deprecation-notice` tag and
included from the two sub-pages. On the landing page it renders as plain
text below the title; the sub-pages set `:admonition:` so the same text
renders inside a `[WARNING]` block, avoiding a duplicated wording that
could drift.
- **Metadata updates**: the landing page `title` becomes "AppSec Kit
(deprecated)", and `description` / `meta-description` state the
deprecation so it also shows in search results and navigation.
- **Tools overview card** in `articles/tools/index.adoc` is labelled
"AppSec Kit (Deprecated)" and its blurb mentions the upcoming
replacement service.

The wording deliberately uses the future tense ("won't be available in
Vaadin 26") since Vaadin 26 doesn't exist yet.

### Note on the diff

This branch also contains the already-reviewed preview-infrastructure
fix from #5951 (`Dockerfile.preview`,
`dspublisher/theme/init-browser.ts`, `vite.dspublisher.ts`), which
suppresses the cookie-consent dialog on preview deployments. It shows up
here only because `main` hadn't been updated at the time this branch was
merged up; it isn't part of the documentation change under review and
will disappear once `main` is refreshed.
