What changed

The docs at /docs were rendering every paragraph, sidebar row and TOC entry in monospace: the shared --font-sans token is Geist Mono, and unlike the blog, the docs never opted their prose into proportional Geist. On top of that the header stacked a category strip that repeated the sidebar's twelve groups (and overflowed at 1440px), and code blocks wrapped long lines back to column zero.

Reading surface

  • DocsLayout sets Geist on <body>; mono is opted back in per element for code, eyebrows and labels.
  • New .docs-prose block in global.css sizes the type (15px/1.7 body, 22px h2, 17px h3, 14px tables). It sits beside .docs-content the way .blog-content does, so the changelog, which also renders through .docs-content, is unaffected.
  • Code blocks scroll sideways instead of wrapping.

Structure

  • The tree is split into four sections, declared once as SECTIONS in docs-nav.ts: Platform, Instrumentation (languages plus Infrastructure), Local Mode, Reference. GROUP_ORDER derives from it.
  • A header strip (DocsSectionNav) and a sticky switcher at the top of the sidebar both read getDocSections from docs-order.ts, so they cannot disagree. The sidebar renders only the current section's groups.
  • Prev/next stays inside a section.
  • The old DocsCategoryNav and HEADER_NAV are removed.

Chrome

  • Single-row header with wordmark, wider search trigger, stars and an "Open app" button; the section strip sits under it.
  • Sidebar widened to 256px, TOC rail to 240px; the rail auto-scroll now moves only far enough to reveal the active row so the switcher stays visible.

Reviewer notes

  • Infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes) sits under Instrumentation rather than Platform. Moving it is a one-line change in SECTIONS.
  • Verified in the dev server on the Node.js guide, Apdex, MCP, Maple Local and the docs index at desktop and phone width: no console errors, no horizontal overflow, TOC scroll spy tracks correctly. Landing tests pass (33).
  • The clickhouse-builder-docs app is untouched.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Documentation navigation is organized into sections with horizontally scrollable tabs, icons, active states, and document counts.
    • Sidebar navigation and previous/next links stay within the selected documentation section.
    • Table of contents appears only when relevant headings are present.
  • Improvements

    • Refined documentation typography, spacing, responsive layouts, breadcrumbs, search controls, and mobile navigation.
    • Improved code-block readability, anchor positioning, and section-based navigation behavior.

…into sections

The docs inherited the shared `--font-sans` token, which is Geist Mono, so
every paragraph, sidebar row and TOC entry rendered in monospace at 14px;
the blog opted its prose into proportional Geist and the docs never did.
The header also stacked a category strip that repeated the sidebar's twelve
groups and overflowed at 1440px, and shiki's `wrap: true` folded long
command lines back to column zero.

- DocsLayout sets Geist on <body>; mono is opted back in per element for
  code, eyebrows and labels. New `.docs-prose` block sizes the reading
  scale beside `.docs-content`, which the changelog still renders with.
- The tree is split into four sections (Platform, Instrumentation, Local
  Mode, Reference) declared once in docs-nav.ts. A header strip and a
  sticky sidebar switcher both read `getDocSections`, and the sidebar only
  renders the current section's groups. Prev/next stays inside a section.
- Wider sidebar and TOC rails, a single-row header with a wider search
  trigger, code blocks that scroll instead of wrapping, and the rail
  auto-scroll now moves only far enough to reveal the active row.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The docs navigation now uses sections instead of a category navigation bar. The sidebar, section tabs, and previous/next links use section boundaries. The layout, typography, table of contents, and documentation page styling were also updated.

Changes

Documentation navigation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Section navigation model
apps/landing/src/lib/docs-nav.ts, apps/landing/src/lib/docs-order.ts
Added SECTIONS, DocSection, sectionForGroup, and getDocSections. Group ordering now derives from the section model.
Section-aware documentation shell
apps/landing/src/components/docs/DocsCategoryNav.astro, apps/landing/src/components/docs/DocsSectionNav.astro, apps/landing/src/components/docs/DocsSidebar.astro, apps/landing/src/components/docs/DocsPrevNext.astro, apps/landing/src/layouts/DocsLayout.astro
Replaced category navigation with section navigation. Sidebar groups and previous/next links are limited to the active section. The layout uses shared TOC conditions and updated section scrolling.
Navigation controls
apps/landing/src/components/docs/DocsMobileNav.astro, apps/landing/src/components/docs/DocsCategoryIcon.astro, apps/landing/src/components/docs/DocsSearch.tsx
Updated mobile navigation, icon documentation, and search control styling.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a location state for a section link.

When the current document is not the first document in its section, s.active is true but s.href points to a different page. aria-current="page" then reports that different link as the current page. Use "location" for the active section, or omit aria-current.

Proposed fix
-            aria-current={s.active ? "page" : undefined}
+            aria-current={s.active ? "location" : undefined}

The sidebar's copy of the four-section switcher duplicated the strip
directly above it; the strip is enough. The sidebar now starts at the
current section's first group.
