What

Documents the API change in firecrawl/firecrawl#4340 (proxy parameter is now always auto) and consolidates all proxy documentation onto /features/proxies.

  • Retired the Enhanced Mode page (features/enhanced-mode.mdx) and the v1 stealth-mode.mdx page — removed from nav and redirected (/features/enhanced-mode and /features/stealth-mode/features/proxies).
  • Removed the "Enhanced Mode" sections from features/scrape.mdx and v1/features/scrape.mdx.
  • Rewrote the proxies copy (v2 + v1) with cleaner wording that describes the behavior — Firecrawl automatically starts on a standard proxy and transparently retries on a more resilient one at no extra cost — without branding it as a "mode" and without listing per-value proxy types.

Scope notes

basic, stealth, and enhanced are still accepted but no longer change
behavior — every request runs in auto mode (starts basic, escalates to
enhanced on failure). Updates the v1 and v2 proxy/enhanced-mode pages.

💡 Tip: Enable Workflows to automatically generate PRs for you.

Hide/retire the enhanced-mode page (and the v1 stealth-mode page),
redirect their URLs to /features/proxies, and remove the Enhanced Mode
sections from the scrape pages. Proxy behavior is now described only on
/features/proxies, with cleaner copy that doesn't brand it as a mode.
