@konopkja This is a clean and well-executed maintenance fix! Here's my review:

✅ Approved

What this PR does well:

• Clear purpose: Removes a tutorial with a broken link (404 error)
• Proper scope: Focused change that addresses issue Bug report: remove State Channel Application tutorial card #15747 directly
• Clean implementation: Complete removal of the tutorial entry with proper JSON structure maintained
• Good documentation: PR description clearly explains the rationale

Code Review:

The JSON modification in src/data/externalTutorials.json is correct:

• ✅ Complete tutorial entry removed (all 12 lines)
• ✅ No trailing comma issues
• ✅ JSON structure remains valid
• ✅ No orphaned fields or incomplete removal

Removed Tutorial Details:

• URL: https://speedrunethereum.com/challenge/state-channels (confirmed 404)
• Title: "State Channel Application"
• Author: Austin Griffith
• Skill Level: Intermediate
• Tags: Multiple relevant tags (solidity, smart contracts, react, etc.)

This is exactly the type of maintenance work that keeps the documentation quality high. The broken link would have been frustrating for users, and removing it improves the overall user experience.

Recommendation: ✅ Ready to merge
