Description
I'm loving the provenance in the new documentation. One thing I think that would be helpful is to know which functions have derivatives and which rely on autodiff. It helps to understand from a performance perspective and helps any devs know where some potentially easy performance improvements can be found.
I wonder if just looking in the derivative folders is enough? Not sure if it captures all the derivatives for overloaded functions but is a nice start.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the derivative folders and the new provenance documentation to determine whether they cover all functions and overloaded distributions. Done means the documentation identifies which functions or distributions have derivatives and which rely on autodiff, including any coverage limitations.
