[docs-scanner] Deprecated self-diagnose tool section lacks guidance on alternatives #25740

Description

@docker-agent

File: content/manuals/desktop/troubleshoot-and-support/troubleshoot/_index.md

Issue

The "Self-diagnose tool" section contains only a deprecation notice with no additional information:

Self-diagnose tool

[!IMPORTANT]

This tool has been deprecated.

This stub section doesn't tell users:

  • What to use instead of the self-diagnose tool
  • When it was deprecated
  • Whether it's been removed or just discouraged
  • Which of the other diagnostic methods on the page replaces its functionality

Why this matters

Users who previously relied on the self-diagnose tool or who find references to it elsewhere need clear guidance on what to do instead. A deprecation notice without migration guidance leaves users without a path forward.

Suggested fix

Either:

  1. Remove this section entirely if the tool is fully replaced by the "Diagnose" section above it, or
  2. Add a sentence directing users to the appropriate alternative, such as: "Use the diagnostic methods described in the Diagnose section above instead."

If the self-diagnose tool was a specific CLI command or UI feature, mention what specifically was deprecated and what replaces it.
