Why

/slides/futo/river-screenshot.png is live (200, 309KB) and used by one slide in the July talk deck. It carries three problems:

Found while reviewing the hero screenshot in #165. It is the same class of problem in a place that PR did not touch.

Approach

Retired rather than recaptured, at Ian's direction. The talk is from July, and River is still covered in the deck by private-rooms and private-rooms-limits immediately after, so the narrative does not gain a gap.

The slide HTML and its screenshot are deleted, so this is noted separately from the existing # CUT for time (files kept, restore by re-adding) block, which promises the opposite.

Note the image remains in git history; this stops it being served, which is the part that matters.

Verification

Deck builds and serves 200 with 20 top-level slides (was 21), no broken images, no page errors, and no remaining reference to river-no-backend, futo/river-screenshot.png, DIRECT MESSAGES or misses the point of Freenet anywhere in the rendered output.

Production currently serves that image, so this removes something real rather than a dead file:

prod deck references the slide: 1
prod image: 200, 309322 bytes

Its screenshot is live at /slides/futo/river-screenshot.png and carries
three problems:

- a DIRECT MESSAGES panel naming a contributor and their message list, on a
  public slide
- a room topic reading "Atlas (search engine)", the same stale claim removed
  from the homepage hero in #165
- a pinned message stating the browser version is "centralized and thus
  somewhat misses the point of Freenet", which #125 (5077552) explicitly
  corrected. The site said one thing in prose and the opposite in an image.
