The interface is ambiguous, as "no" is valid file name. So, using "no" as a special value to disable script is deprecated. Use an empty string ("script=" / "downscript=") instead.
In a future version, "no" will be treated as a plain file name, just like any other non-empty value.
Document the deprecation in docs/about/deprecated.rst, qapi/net.json, and qemu-options.hx. Update other docs to use empty string instead of "no". Add a warning.

You mention what "no" does only in QMP documentation.
You mention what "no" will do in a future version only in CLI documentation.
Inconsistent, right.. Will touch up.
If information is useful enough to justify the space in one place, it's likely useful enough in the other place, too.
Up to you.
