Research direction
Review the knife credentials, config.rb, and knife.rb documentation entry points first, then trace where users are directed for Chef tool configuration. Identify the relevant pages and determine whether they consistently present credentials as the modern path; done means the affected documentation points users away from the older config.rb/knife.rb path.
