Why

The AstarPass / ShidenPass registration websites were sunset at the end of Q1 2024
(forum: https://forum.astar.network/t/5860) and are no longer online. The L1 how-to
guide still told users to register there, and the AstarBase developer page implied
new registrations were possible.

What

  • docs/use/how-to-guides/layer-1/astarpass-register.md: rewritten as a retirement
    notice. Sidebar label is now "AstarPass (retired)". Dead register links and the old
    explorer screenshots removed. Keeps a short "unregister an existing mapping" section
    with the contract addresses and the unRegister() fee (500 ASTR / 1 SDN), since the
    AstarBase contracts remain on-chain.
  • docs/build/EVM/astarbase.md: same notice at the top; rewording of the rewards
    example so it no longer implies new registrations.

Notes

  • The URL of the guide is unchanged, so existing links keep working.
  • The notice does not point to Account Unification as the replacement: the pallet was
    only ever deployed on Shibuya, never on Astar mainnet.
  • The Shiden contract now links to Subscan: the Shiden Blockscout instance no longer
    exists. The explorers page still lists it; that is a separate fix.
  • Verified on-chain before writing: the Astar AstarBase proxy is live and unpaused,
    unregisterFee() = 500 ASTR.
  • yarn build passes locally.

The AstarPass / ShidenPass registration sites were sunset at the end of
Q1 2024 (forum topic 5860) and are no longer online. The guide still
told users to register there.

- Rewrite the L1 how-to guide as a retirement notice: what still works
  at the contract level, and how to unregister an existing mapping
  (contract addresses, unRegister() fee).
- Drop the dead register links and the stale explorer screenshots; the
  Shiden Blockscout instance no longer exists, so the Shiden contract
  now links to Subscan.
- Add the same notice to the AstarBase developer page and reword the
  rewards example so it no longer implies new registrations.
