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.

## Overview
[React](https://react.dev) is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces with component composition, declarative views, and a rich ecosystem. 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 React application.
#### Auth library
This example uses **[react-oidc-context](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context)**, a React wrapper around **[oidc-client-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context)**, a React wrapper around **[oidc-client-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oidc-client-ts)**. The underlying [oidc-client-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context)**, a React wrapper around **[oidc-client-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oidc-client-ts) library implements the [OpenID Connect (OIDC)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context)**, a React wrapper around **[oidc-client-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oidc-client-ts)**. The underlying [oidc-client-ts](https://github.com/authts/oidc-client-ts) library implements the [OpenID Connect (OIDC)](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints) protocol, manages [PKCE](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context) code challenge generation, performs secure [token exchange](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints#token_endpoint), and exposes React hooks for managing authentication state throughout your application.

## What this example demonstrates
This [React](https://react.dev) application showcases a complete authentication flow using [Zitadel](https://react.dev) application showcases a complete authentication flow using [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs) with the secure [PKCE](https://react.dev) standard.

Users begin on a public landing page where they can initiate login through [react-oidc-context](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context), which redirects them to [Zitadel's authorization endpoint](https://react.dev) application showcases a complete authentication flow using [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs) with the secure [PKCE](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/) standard. Users begin on a public landing page where they can initiate login through [react-oidc-context](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context), which redirects them to [Zitadel's authorization endpoint](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints) for authentication. After successful authentication, the application handles the OAuth callback, exchanges the authorization code for [access tokens](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints#token_endpoint), and establishes a secure [session](https://react.dev) application showcases a complete authentication flow using [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs) with the secure [PKCE](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/) standard. Users begin on a public landing page where they can initiate login through [react-oidc-context](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context), which redirects them to [Zitadel's authorization endpoint](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints).
Protected routes are secured using [react-oidc-context's](https://react.dev) application showcases a complete authentication flow using [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs) with the secure [PKCE](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/) standard. Users begin on a public landing page where they can initiate login through [react-oidc-context](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context) `withAuthenticationRequired` higher-order component, which automatically redirects unauthenticated users to the login flow. The profile page displays user information retrieved from [OIDC claims](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context) `withAuthenticationRequired` higher-order component, which automatically redirects unauthenticated users to the login flow. The profile page displays user information retrieved from [OIDC claims](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims), including profile details, email, and metadata. The application implements complete [federated logout](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-oidc-context) `withAuthenticationRequired` higher-order component, which automatically redirects unauthenticated users to the login flow. The profile page displays user information retrieved from [OIDC claims](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims), including profile details, email, and metadata. The application implements complete [federated logout](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/logout) functionality, properly terminating both the local session and the Zitadel session through the end-session endpoint.
The example leverages [React Router](https://reactrouter.com) for client-side navigation and [Vite](https://reactrouter.com) for client-side navigation and [Vite](https://vite.dev) as the build tool, demonstrating modern React development patterns with [TypeScript](https://reactrouter.com) for client-side navigation and [Vite](https://vite.dev) as the build tool, demonstrating modern React development patterns with [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org). All authentication state management, including [token refresh](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints#token_endpoint) with offline access, is handled automatically by the [oidc-client-ts](https://reactrouter.com) for client-side navigation and [Vite](https://vite.dev) as the build tool, demonstrating modern React development patterns with [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org). All authentication state management, including [token refresh](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints#token-endpoint) with offline access, is handled automatically by the [oidc-client-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oidc-client-ts) library under the hood.

## 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/`)
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-react).
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 these exact environment variable names:**
```
VITE_ZITADEL_DOMAIN=https://your-instance.zitadel.cloud
VITE_ZITADEL_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_from_console
VITE_ZITADEL_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:3000/auth/callback
VITE_ZITADEL_POST_LOGOUT_URL=http://localhost:3000/
VITE_POST_LOGIN_URL=/profile
VITE_PORT=3000
```
Replace these values with:
- Your actual Zitadel instance URL (the **Issuer** from your [Zitadel application settings](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/login-users))
- The **Client ID** you copied when creating the application
- The **redirect URI** you configured in the PKCE setup (must match exactly)
- The **post-logout redirect URI** you configured
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` where you can test the complete authentication flow.
