pyspy README: stale 2026-05-22 deletion banner — pyspy stays in v0.3.0 per #222

[trilamsr]

Problem

components/receivers/pyspy/README.md line 3 carries a stale banner:

⚠️ Status (2026-05-22): Scheduled for deletion at v0.3.0 per RFC-0013 §7. Replaced by parca-agent (eBPF) per RFC-0013 §2. Security posture changes: CAP_SYS_PTRACE → CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_BPF - operator review window in v0.3.0. Operators: see the migration guide for old→new chart values mapping (one-version compat). Contributors: do not invest further in this receiver - file improvements upstream instead.

This banner pre-dates the PR-M deferral memo in #222, which keeps pyspy in v0.3.0 with unchanged zero-capability posture until OTel Profiles reaches Beta + parca-agent gains OTLP export (re-evaluation conditions in #222).

PR #254 reconciled docs/migration/v0.2-to-v0.3.md against #222 but explicitly left this README out-of-scope per a reconcile-only contract.

Where

• components/receivers/pyspy/README.md:3

Fix prescription

Re-frame the banner so it tells operators the truth: pyspy ships as-is in v0.3.0, deletion is deferred to v0.4.0+ pending the #222 trigger conditions, and the security-posture migration content lives in docs/migration/v0.2-to-v0.3.md as forward-looking material. Suggested wording:

⚠️ Status (deferred per #222): This receiver ships in v0.3.0 with the same zero-capability posture as v0.2.x. PR-M (delete this receiver + ship parca-agent recipe) has been deferred to v0.4.0+ pending two upstream triggers: (1) OTel Profiles reaches Beta and the service.profilesSupport feature-gate is removed, and (2) parca-agent gains OTLP export (or PR-M is re-scoped to an "otelcol-ebpf-profiler sibling distro" pattern). See docs/migration/v0.2-to-v0.3.md for forward-looking operator preparation material on the eventual CAP_SYS_PTRACE → CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_BPF migration.

Also sweep components/receivers/pyspy/RUNBOOK.md for the same staleness pattern while you are in the file.

Acceptance

• Banner no longer claims v0.3.0 deletion
• Banner names PR-M: parca-agent recipe + delete pyspy — DEFERRED to v0.4.0+ #222 as the current source of truth for re-evaluation triggers
• make doc-check stays green
