This PR implements documentation versioning support for the Flatcar website, allowing us to maintain multiple documentation versions (current and historical snapshots) as part of the website repository itself, rather than relying on external documentation repositories.

Key changes:

  • Removes external documentation fetching mechanism (external_docs in config)
  • Adds local documentation versioning in content/docs/ with date-based snapshots
  • Creates initial documentation snapshot dated 23-10-2025 (pre-OIDC state)
  • Adds documentation versioning guide to README
  • Fixes sidebar overlap on scroll issue

Changes

Documentation Infrastructure

  • Removed external docs support: Eliminates the external_docs configuration that previously pulled documentation from external repositories
  • Added local versioning structure: Documentation versions are now stored directly in content/docs/ with:
    • content/docs/latest/ - current documentation (highest weight)
    • content/docs/DD-MM-YYYY/ - historical snapshots (date when they became outdated)
  • Updated config: Changed github_edit_url to base_github_edit_url to support version-specific edit links

Documentation Content

  • Initial snapshot created: Preserved current documentation state (pre-OIDC) as content/docs/23-10-2025/

UI Fix

  • Fixed sidebar overlap: Resolved scrolling issue where navbar would overlap the version badge

Test Plan

  • Verify documentation renders correctly
  • Confirm version selector works
  • Test GitHub edit links point to correct paths
  • Validate sidebar version label no longer overlaps on scroll with the navbar, navbar hiding it
  • Check that documentation content is accessible at expected URLs

docs: snapshot pre-OIDC state and fix sidebar overlap on scroll
f22e5ae 
Create documentation snapshot (23-10-2025) for legacy OIDC setup before
Authorization Code Flow + PKCE migration. Add link from current docs to
legacy version for users on older Nebraska versions.

Also fix sidebar title being hidden when navbar shrinks on scroll:
- Add dynamic padding compensation to sidebar when navbar shrinks
- Use shared transition timing variables for smooth animations
- Compensation scalar (0.9) ensures title remains visible
- Simplify docs-section padding to consistent 130px across breakpoints
