Brings the wiki's in-season Programming Onboarding into the docs — as the delta only, since most of it duplicates the Onboarding page already migrated in #14.

What the wiki page contained, and where it went

Wiki section Disposition
Team laptop account, GitHub, Slack already in Onboarding — not repeated
GitHub Desktop install already in Onboarding — not repeated
WPILib Tools install already in Onboarding — not repeated
IntelliJ + FRC/CheckStyle plugins, team number already in Onboarding — not repeated
Mac → QDriverStation already at tooling/qdriverstation — linked
Phoenix Tuner X already at tooling/phoenix-tuner — linked
FRC Game Tools install new — was referenced by two challenge pages but documented nowhere
REV Hardware Client new — absent from the docs entirely

So in-season-onboarding.md is deliberately short: it opens by sending you to the regular Onboarding page, then covers only the hardware tooling the curriculum never needs.

Also

The four places that linked out to the wiki page now point at the docs page instead:

  • getting-started/onboarding.md (twice — the opening note and the closing reminder)
  • getting-started/environment-setup.md
  • challenges/running-on-a-real-robot.md — this one specifically told students to get FRC Game Tools from the wiki, which now resolves within the docs

Listed in the Setup sidebar group and mentioned under Setup on the curriculum overview.

Verification

  • pnpm docs:build passes.
  • Checked mechanically that the new page does not repeat desktop.github.com, github.com/signup, xbot.slack.com, the FRC plugin link, the WPILib installer link, or the team-laptop step — and that it does carry the Game Tools and REV Hardware Client content.

Note

tinyurl.com/xbotsetup, the short link printed at the top of the wiki page, still resolves to the wiki. Worth repointing it at the docs page if in-season folks use it. I left it out of the new page rather than linking in a circle.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Most of the wiki's Programming Onboarding page duplicates the Onboarding page
migrated in #14 (accounts, GitHub Desktop, WPILib, IntelliJ). Only two topics
were missing from the docs: the FRC Game Tools install procedure, which two
challenge pages already referenced but nothing documented, and the REV Hardware
Client.

The new page covers just those, and defers everything else by link rather than
repeating it. Mac users are pointed at the existing QDriverStation page, and
Phoenix Tuner at its existing tooling page.

The four places that linked out to the wiki now point here instead.
