Each sentence below names a type the default branch doesn't declare, or declares somewhere else. Edit the doc so it matches the code, or bring the type back.

GoneAccessChecker
The SPI is named [AccessChecker](https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie/blob/main/servers/services/src/main/java/org/projectnessie/services/authz/AccessChecker.java) and uses [AccessContext](https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie/blob/main/servers/services/src/main/java/org/projectnessie/services/authz/AccessContext.java), which carries information about the overall context of the operation.
The repository once held servers/services/src/main/java/org/projectnessie/services/authz/AccessChecker.java. It doesn't now. Closest names there: BatchAccessChecker, RetriableAccessChecker, AbstractBatchAccessChecker.
