# Which Problems Are Solved
Several links in the docs point at repository paths that no longer
exist, so they 404 on GitHub:
- The `load-test` directory was renamed to `benchmark`. The benchmarks
page still links to `load-test`, `load-test/Makefile` and
`load-test/README.md` (5 occurrences).
- `apps/docs/content/index.mdx` links to `CONTRIBUTING.mdx`, but the
file is `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- The login-app guide links to `apps/login/src/middleware.ts`, which was
renamed to `apps/login/src/proxy.ts` in the Next.js 16 upgrade (#11629).
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Point the benchmarks page at `benchmark/`, `benchmark/Makefile` and
`benchmark/README.md`. The `#test` anchor still resolves —
`benchmark/README.md` has a `### Test` heading.
- Fix the `CONTRIBUTING.md` extension.
- Point the middleware example at `apps/login/src/proxy.ts`.
Verified by extracting every
`github.com/zitadel/zitadel/{blob,tree}/main/...` link from
`apps/docs/content` and resolving each one against the working tree —
all 14 distinct paths now exist.
# Additional Changes
- Prose in the benchmarks page that names the directory ("the load-test
Makefile", "the load-test readme") now says "benchmark". Generic uses of
"load-test"/"load-testing" as an activity are left as they are.
# Additional Context
- The versioned docs under `apps/docs/content/v4.13`–`v4.16` contain the
same stale links, but those directories are generated at build time from
release tags by `apps/docs/scripts/fetch-remote-content.mjs` and are
gitignored, so they cannot be fixed from `main`. The published pages for
those versions will keep the old links.
- `apps/docs/scripts/check-links.ts` skips anything starting with
`http`, which is why these went unnoticed. Teaching it to resolve
`github.com/zitadel/zitadel/blob/main/<path>` links against the working
tree would catch this class of breakage in CI — not done here to keep
the PR focused.

## What we did
This pull request migrates the project documentation from the old
`docs/` directory to the new `apps/docs/` directory, introduces a new
documentation system built with Next.js and Fumadocs, and updates all
relevant references, configuration files, and documentation to reflect
this change. It also adds new configuration and ignore files for the new
documentation app, updates CI and linting to exclude the new docs from
certain checks, and revises the contributing guidelines accordingly.
**Documentation System Migration and New Docs App**
* Migrated all documentation from `docs/` to `apps/docs/`, and updated
all references in `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and other files to
point to the new location.

* Added a new Next.js/Fumadocs-based documentation app under
`apps/docs/`, including core app files, layouts, routing, search API,
and a comprehensive `README.md` with development and contribution
instructions.

**Configuration and Tooling Updates**
* Updated `.github/workflows/codeql.yml`, `.golangci.yaml`, and
`.github/dependabot.yml` to properly handle the new docs app: excluded
`apps/docs` from certain checks, added npm dependency updates for the
docs app, and excluded generated content.

* Updated `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` to use the latest Go 1.25.3
version for consistency.
**Licensing and Miscellaneous**
* Added `apps/docs/` to the list of licensed directories in
`LICENSING.md`.
These changes ensure the documentation is now maintained in a modern,
scalable system and all project tooling is updated to support the new
structure.
