- Replace removed `stellar network container start` with the current `stellar container start` in the Lab quickstart and the contract init template guide - Rework the hello-world "Optimizing Builds" section: `stellar contract optimize` is deprecated, and `stellar contract build` now optimizes by default - Correct the maximum contract size in hello-world (64KB → 128KB, per live mainnet `contract_max_size_bytes` = 131072) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Changes
Removed
network containersubcommand (#2598)stellar network container startno longer exists (removed in CLI v23.0.0; the current command isstellar container start <network>, verified againststellar container start --help). Updated the two live pages that still teach the old form:docs/tools/lab/quickstart-with-lab.mdxdocs/build/guides/dapps/soroban-contract-init-template.mdxThe
network containerreferences insoftware-versions.mdxrelease notes and the install-cli video-tutorial label are historical/quoted content and intentionally left alone.Deprecated
contract optimize+ stale max contract size (#2601)stellar contract optimizeis deprecated, andstellar contract buildnow optimizes by default (--optimize, defaulttrue; pass--optimize=falseto disable). Added a note about the deprecated standalone command for readers who encounter it elsewhere.stellar contract buildoptimizes by default, since the "shortcut forcargo build" equivalence is no longer the whole story.contract_max_size_bytes= 131072 (checked viastellar network settings --network mainnet), with a hedge that the value is network-configurable.Closes #2598
Closes #2601
