Source changes

  • viam-python-sdk#1167: Remove Reconfigurable class from Python SDK. The class is now deprecated with a DeprecationWarning. Modules always rebuild on reconfigure (stop → remove → re-add) instead of calling reconfigure() in-place.

Docs changes

  • docs/build-modules/module-reference.md: Remove the "In-place reconfigure" row from the default behavior table. Python no longer supports in-place reconfiguration — both Go and Python now always rebuild on config change.
  • docs/tutorials/configure/pet-photographer.md: Remove from viam.module.types import Reconfigurable import and Reconfigurable from class inheritance. The reconfigure() method remains as a regular helper called from the constructor.
  • docs/tutorials/custom/custom-base-dog.md: Remove Reconfigurable from robotdog class inheritance. Same pattern — reconfigure() stays as a regular method.

How I found these

  • Xref lookup: search-patterns.yaml entry for Resource.Reconfigure
  • Grep matches: searched for Reconfigurable, viam.module.types, reconfigure, in-place reconfigur across all docs. Found 3 affected files.
