Our reference docs don't currently include members inherited through the
`extends` keyword. These extended items are barely referenced at all -
you have to find them in the signature.
This diff adds a clearer note to the docs saying which type has been
extended, and if possible brings the extended items through onto the
current documentation page (with a note saying where they're from)

Our generated docs are pretty verbose and space inefficient. This diff
has a few design tweaks to try and make sure that the information that's
emphasised is the stuff that's most important, and makes the typical
docs item use a bit less space in the process.

Previously, when items in our documentation referred to each other in
code snippets, we'd put the links to their documentation pages in a
separate "references" section at the bottom of the docs. Generally I
find that this makes links harder to find (they're not in-context) and
adds a fair bit of visual noise to our API documentation.
This diff moves those links inline by adding a post-processing step to
our highlighted code. This is slightly more involved than I wanted it to
be (see the comments in code.tsx for an explanation of why) but it gets
the job done. I've added small link icons next to linked code items - i
experimented with underlines and a 🔗 icon too, but this seemed to look
the best.

React components in docs now list their props, and appear under a new
"Component" section instead of randomly under either `Function` or
`Variable`. In order to have our docs generate this, a few criteria need
to be met:
1. They need to be tagged with the `@react` tsdoc tag
2. Their props need to be a simple type alias, typically to an
interface.
Both of these rules are enforced with a new lint rule - any component
tagged as `@public` will have these rules enforced.
### Change Type

Typescript's type aliases (`type X = thing`) can refer to basically
anything, which makes it hard to write an automatic document formatter
for them. Interfaces on the other hand are only object, so they play
much nicer with docs. Currently, object-flavoured type aliases don't
really get expanded at all on our docs site, which means we have a bunch
of docs content that's not shown on the site.
This diff introduces a lint rule that forces `interface X {foo: bar}`s
instead of `type X = {foo: bar}` where possible, as it results in a much
better documentation experience:

These were needed when the docs lived in a different repo, but they

### Change Type

Add a section to our docs site explaining how tldraw is versioned and
adding a changelog pulled from github.
### Change Type
- [x] `docs` — Changes to the documentation, examples, or templates.
- [x] `feature` — New feature
Adds reference docs, guide in the "Editor" article, and examples for the
side effects manager.
There are 4 new examples:
1. Before create/update shape - constrains shapes to be places within a
circle
2. Before delete shape - prevent red shapes from being deleted
3. After create/update shape - make sure there's only ever one red shape
on the page at a time
4. After delete shape - delete frames after their last child is deleted
As these examples all require fairly specific configurations of shapes
(or are hard to understand without some visual hinting in the case of
placing shapes within a circle), I've included a `createDemoShapes`
function in each of these which makes sure the examples start with
shapes that will quickly show you the side effects in action. I've kept
these separate from the main code (in a function at the bottom), so
hopefully that won't be a source of confusion to anyone working from
these examples.
### Change Type

This diff mostly adds an image annotator example, but also has a couple
of drive-by changes:
- Added a 'use-cases' category to the examples app for this style of
mini-app
- Add `editor.pageToViewport`, which is like `editor.pageToScreen` but
works with viewport coordinates (better for `InFrontOfTheCanvas` stuff)
- Prevent the chrome side-swipe-to-go-back thing in the examples app
Some cool features of the image annotator:
- The image cannot be unlocked, and cannot have shapes places behind it
- I still need to work out a way of removing the context menu though
- Anything you place outside the bounds of the image (and therefore
outside the bounds of the export) will be greyed out
- You can't change pages
- unless you find the "move to page" action... need to fix that
- The camera is constrained! It'll keep the image roughly centered on
the screen. If you pick a very long thin image, you can only scroll
vertically. If you pick a very big one, it'll default it to a reasonable
size.

- @steveruizok it feels kinda problematic that we check in a bunch of
derived files that the docs build requires. Things can get out of sync
easily, and whose responsibility is it to update them? In the future I
reckon we should explore ways to remove these files from the git index
as much as possible.

several things here:
- `docs/api/.*json` were out-of-date — seems like fetch-api-source
should run automatically? shouldn't `build-api` also override this
directory? in particular, tldraw.api.json still had a ton of references
to the old @tldraw/tldraw package
- the main problem was that `generateApiContent` was failing silently.
we were relying on Promises and this broke silently because we never
handled exceptions. i got rid of the Promise as it was unnecessary and
made the exceptions bubble up
- two things were broken in the docs and those are fixed, so now the
missing entries will resurface

This PR updates our end to end tests so that they check every route in
our examples to ensure that it loads (skipping any routes that don't
features a canvas).
### Change Type
- [x] `tests` — Changes to any test code only[^2]
### Test Plan
- [x] End to end tests
This PR incorporates design tweaks from #2922 without the home page or
content changes.
These are:
- Replacing all `hello@tldraw.com` with `sales@tldraw.com`
- Fix mailto links.
- Showing the first item in a section on direct routes to the section
- Splitting the article page for human-written content from article page
for generated content
- Splitting the layout for the landing page from the rest of the site
(temporarily identical to the regular content)
- Removing headings from left sidebar
- Restoring headings in right sidebar for human-written pages with > 1
heading link
- Styling block quote
- Adjusting section link appearance / layout in header / menu
- Changing the order of search results to preference docs over examples
- Updating copy on events
- Removing copy on user interface menus
- Adding hero as prop to all articles
- Updated icon
- Fixing a few broken links
- Replaces the sandpack code blocks with hljs code blocks, except in
examples.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
Rename `@tldraw/tldraw` to just `tldraw`! `@tldraw/tldraw` still exists
as an alias to `tldraw` for folks who are still using that.
### Test Plan
- [x] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes
- The `@tldraw/tldraw` package has been renamed to `tldraw`. You can
keep using the old version if you want though!
This PR converts all example titles and categories to sentence case, to
make them consistent with our UI and the other examples.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
[^1]: publishes a `patch` release, for devDependencies use `internal`
[^2]: will not publish a new version
### Test Plan
1. Look at the examples app.
2. Check that all the titles of examples make you feel calm and good
inside.
- [ ] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes
- Docs: Made the examples titles sentence case.
Biome as it is now didn't work out for us 😢
Summary for posterity:
* it IS much, much faster, fast enough to skip any sort of caching
* we couldn't fully replace Prettier just yet. We use Prettier
programmatically to format code in docs, and Biome's JS interface is
officially alpha and [had legacy peer deps
set](https://github.com/biomejs/biome/pull/1756) (which would fail our
CI build as we don't allow installation warnings)
* ternary formatting differs from Prettier, leading to a large diff
https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/1661
* import sorting differs from Prettier's
`prettier-plugin-organize-imports`, making the diff even bigger
* the deal breaker is a multi-second delay on saving large files (for us
it's
[Editor.ts](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/packages/editor/src/lib/editor/Editor.ts))
in VSCode when import sorting is enabled. There is a seemingly relevant
Biome issue where I posted a small summary of our findings:
https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/1569#issuecomment-1930411623
Further actions:
* reevaluate in a few months as Biome matures
### Change Type

### Test Plan
1. Make sure search (AI and regular) still works as expected.
### Release Notes
- Docs: Add full-text search.
Biome seems to be MUCH faster than Prettier. Unfortunately, it
introduces some formatting changes around the ternary operator, so we
have to update files in the repo. To make revert easier if we need it,
the change is split into two PRs. This PR introduces a Biome CI check
and reformats all files accordingly.

Occasionally the auto-built items, such as Sections.json, will be
flagged as having changes in a commit. This is because we generate that
file using spaces but our formatting uses tabs.
This PR changes all JSON.stringify({}, null, 2) to JSON.stringify({},
null, '\t'). Problem solved!
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
This PR adds the docs app back into the tldraw monorepo.
## Deploying
We'll want to update our deploy script to update the SOURCE_SHA to the
newest release sha... and then deploy the docs pulling api.json files
from that release. We _could_ update the docs on every push to main, but
we don't have to unless something has changed. Right now there's no
automated deployments from this repo.
## Side effects
To make this one work, I needed to update the lock file. This might be
ok (new year new lock file), and everything builds as expected, though
we may want to spend some time with our scripts to be sure that things
are all good.
I also updated our prettier installation, which decided to add trailing
commas to every generic type. Which is, I suppose, [correct
behavior](https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode/issues/955)? But
that caused diffs in every file, which is unfortunate.
