What is wrong
The Antora playbook defines an attribute named spring-boot-issues, but nothing in the documentation tree references it. Unused attributes accumulate as quiet clutter: a maintainer editing the attribute list cannot tell whether it is safe to touch, and a reader may assume a link exists that never renders anywhere.
Where
- File:
framework-docs/antora.yml
- Advisory line: 47 (line numbers may drift; the entry sits among the other Spring portfolio project attributes)
- Occurrence, at line 47:
spring-boot-issues: '{spring-github-org}/spring-boot/issues'
Evidence
config_kind: antora_attribute
pattern: spring-boot-issues
raw_line: spring-boot-issues: '{spring-github-org}/spring-boot/issues'
value: '{spring-github-org}/spring-boot/issues'
matches_nothing_in_tree: true
names_a_literal: true
score: 75 (config_kind_prior=40, names_a_literal=25, single_line_fix=10, staleness_years=0)
Suggested fix
Remove the single spring-boot-issues attribute line, since no page uses it. If the docs team intends to reference Spring Boot issues from a page in the future, they may prefer to keep it and add the reference instead. Do not write the patch here.
How to verify the fix
From tools/candidate-miner/, run the config miner and confirm this fingerprint is no longer emitted:
./miner.py run --miner config_dead_entry --dry-run
