d8ea041c56 docs: introduce versioned docs and migrate to fuma (#11166)
## Todos for release

- [x] Configure Env in docs project on vercel
- [x] Configure Root Path in the docs project on vercel
- [ ] Remove old CSP https://github.com/zitadel/website/pull/1592

## 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.

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.

## Overview
[Hono](https://hono.dev) is a small, simple, and ultra-fast web framework for the Edges that works on Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Vercel, Netlify, AWS Lambda, Lambda@Edge, and Node.js. This example demonstrates how to integrate **Zitadel** using the **[OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/)** to authenticate users securely and maintain sessions across your Hono application.
#### Auth library
This example uses **[Auth.js](https://authjs.dev)** (formerly NextAuth.js), the standard authentication library for modern web frameworks. Auth.js implements the [OpenID Connect](https://openid.net/connect/) (OIDC) protocol with [PKCE](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/), performs secure token exchange, and provides session management helpers. The integration uses **[@hono/auth-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hono/auth-js)**, the official Hono adapter for Auth.js, along with **[@auth/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@auth/core)** which handles the core OIDC flows and the **[Zitadel provider](https://authjs.dev/reference/core/providers/zitadel)**.
---
## What this example demonstrates
This example showcases a complete web application authentication pattern with [Hono](https://hono.dev) and [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs). Users start on a public landing page, initiate authentication with Zitadel using the secure [PKCE flow](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/), and are redirected to a protected profile page displaying their [user information](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims) after successful authentication. The application demonstrates several key features including sign-in with [authorization code flow + PKCE](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/), OAuth callback handling with secure [session storage](https://authjs.dev/concepts/session-strategies) using [JWT strategy](https://authjs.dev/concepts/session-strategies#jwt-session), route protection through [authentication middleware](https://hono.dev/docs/guides/middleware) that guards sensitive pages, automatic [token refresh](https://authjs.dev/guides/refresh-token-rotation) to maintain long-lived sessions without requiring re-authentication, access to user profile information including [OIDC standard claims](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims) and [Zitadel-specific claims](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims#reserved-claims) such as organization roles and metadata, and secure sign-out with [federated logout](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/logout) that terminates both the local session and the Zitadel session through the end-session endpoint.
The implementation uses [Handlebars templates](https://handlebarsjs.com/) for server-side rendering, [@hono/node-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hono/node-server) for running on Node.js, secure [HTTP-only cookies](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies#security) for session management, and [CSRF protection](https://authjs.dev/concepts/session-strategies#csrf-protection) through Auth.js built-in tokens. The authentication flow follows OAuth 2.0 best practices with [Proof Key for Code Exchange](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/oauth-recommended-flows) to prevent authorization code interception attacks.

## Getting started
### Prerequisites
Before running this example, you need to create and configure a PKCE application in the [ZITADEL Management Console](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/overview). Follow the PKCE application setup guide to:
1. Create a new Web application in your [Zitadel project](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/projects)
2. Configure it to use the PKCE authentication method
3. Set up your redirect URIs (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/auth/callback` for development)
4. Configure post-logout redirect URIs (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/auth/logout/callback`)
5. Copy your **Client ID** for use in the next steps
> **Note:** Make sure to enable **Dev Mode** in the [ZITADEL Management Console](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/overview) if you're using HTTP URLs during local development. For production, always use HTTPS URLs and disable Dev Mode.
### Run the example
Once you have your Zitadel application configured:
1. Clone the [repository](https://github.com/zitadel/example-auth-hono).
2. Create a `.env` file (copy from `.env.example`) and configure it with the values from your [Zitadel application](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/applications). **Use the exact environment variable names from the repository:**
```
NODE_ENV=development
PORT=3000
SESSION_SECRET=your-very-secret-and-strong-session-key
SESSION_DURATION=3600
ZITADEL_DOMAIN=https://your-instance.zitadel.cloud
ZITADEL_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_from_console
ZITADEL_CLIENT_SECRET=
ZITADEL_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:3000/auth/callback
ZITADEL_POST_LOGIN_URL=/profile
ZITADEL_POST_LOGOUT_URL=http://localhost:3000
```
Replace these values with:
- Your actual **Zitadel instance URL** (the Issuer from your [instance settings](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/default-settings))
- The **Client ID** you copied when creating the application in the PKCE setup
- The **redirect URI** you configured in the PKCE setup (must match exactly)
- The **post-logout redirect URI** for handling logout callbacks
- A strong random **session secret** (generate using: `node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"`)
> **Note:** While PKCE doesn't require a client secret for public clients, Auth.js requires a value for internal configuration. You can leave `ZITADEL_CLIENT_SECRET` empty or provide a random string.
3. Install dependencies using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com) and start the development server:
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```
The application will be running at `http://localhost:3000`. Visit the homepage to test the authentication flow.
