Mohamed Boudra dfd18a44a7 Document Hub and let docs pages nest (#2864)
* feat(website): nest docs pages under landable groups

The docs sidebar could already render groups from subdirectories in
public-docs, but nothing used it because every doc was a flat file, and
two things stopped it being usable.

A group had no page of its own, so its label was only a toggle and its
name came from the directory name via formatLabel. A directory's
index.md now supplies the group's label, order, and href, which makes
the group landable and lets the label be authored rather than derived.

Categories and top-level directories named the same thing, so a
categorised doc at hub/index.md produced a group nested inside its own
category. Only directories below the top level become groups now.

Also fixes two behaviours in the sidebar:

- The open/closed effect assigned containsActive on every change, so a
  group you expanded to browse collapsed the moment you navigated
  anywhere else. Navigating in now opens a group and navigating away
  leaves it alone.
- The sidebar scrolls independently of the page and never scrolled the
  active entry into view, so loading or refreshing a page far down the
  list left the sidebar parked at the top with no visible position.

The group row is a single target: it navigates and expands, and
collapses when clicked again from the page it points at. A separate
chevron button would put two actions a few pixels apart.

* docs(hub): document Hub

Adds a Hub section covering what it is, how it works, daemons,
triggers, configuration, activity, and the two ways to run it.

The section separates using Hub from running it. Overview, quickstart,
daemons, triggers, and configuration hold regardless of who operates
the deployment; the self-hosting branch owns deploying the service and
creating the GitHub, Slack, and Discord apps it talks to. That split
falls on a real seam, because those apps are exactly what a hosted Hub
would own on your behalf. Hosted is a placeholder until it ships.

Each provider gets a trigger page carrying its events, filter
semantics, and the full paseo.event.* reference for the data a prompt
can read. That data is the thing a config author actually needs and
the thing they cannot get from anywhere else.

Every YAML block was parsed against the Hub config schema rather than
eyeballed, which kept several plausible-looking things out of the
docs: worktree prNumber takes a literal number and not a merge
variable, only daemon environments run today, and github.push has no
actor so it can never satisfy the required from_users filter.

Troubleshooting moves to order 90 so it stays last.

* refactor(website): let the active docs entry scroll itself into view

The layout queried the sidebar for the active entry after every
navigation, which coupled it to when that entry mounts. A link inside a
collapsed group only mounts once the group's own effect opens it, so
the query could run against a DOM that does not contain it yet.

Moving the scroll to the entry removes the ordering question rather
than answering it, and drops the ref and the cross-component query.

Reported by Greptile on #2864. The failure it described does not
reproduce: navigating from a page outside a collapsed group into one of
its children still scrolls correctly, verified with the group confirmed
collapsed and the sidebar forced to the top. The coupling was real even
though the bug was not.

* docs(hub): stop listing BETTER_AUTH_URL as required

It falls back to PASEO_CLOUD_PUBLIC_URL, so a deployment that sets the
public origin already has a correct auth base URL. Listing it as
required made the Fly recipe look incomplete when it was not.

Moved to optional with its default, and recorded what actually breaks
without BETTER_AUTH_SECRET: the auth routes close and nobody can sign
in.

Reported by Codex on #2864, which read the same inconsistency the other
way round and proposed adding the variable to the Fly example.

* docs(hub): attach a database in the Fly recipe

The Fly section showed inline config and a secrets command, neither of
which supplied DATABASE_URL. It defaults to localhost:5432, which on
Fly reaches nothing, so the documented deployment could not start.

fly postgres attach sets DATABASE_URL as a secret, so the step is the
attach itself rather than another variable to copy.

Reported by Codex on #2864.

Hub configuration Where a project's configuration comes from, how GitHub sync works, and how revisions activate and roll back. Configuration 68 Hub

Hub configuration

A project is configured by one versioned document. The project's Configuration tab shows the active revision, its source, and the last synchronization attempt.

Sources

A configuration comes from exactly one source:

  • GitHub source: one repository, the file .paseo/hub.yml, on the repository's current default branch.
  • Manual source: edited in the dashboard and saved with Save and activate.

Pick a GitHub source by choosing a repository and clicking Use for configuration. That syncs immediately and enables automatic deployment.

The path and the branch are fixed. There is no setting for either.

Sync

A push to the default branch of the configuration repository triggers a sync:

  1. Hub fetches .paseo/hub.yml at that exact commit.
  2. It validates the document and resolves every repository, workspace, guild, and daemon it names.
  3. On success the revision becomes active.

Sync now does the same on demand.

Every attempt is recorded, including failures. The outcomes you will see:

Outcome What happened
Activated Valid document, everything resolved, now serving events.
Invalid The document failed validation or named something the organization can't reach.
Fetch failed The file is missing, or GitHub could not be read.
Superseded push ignored A newer commit already moved the branch head.

A failed sync never replaces the active revision. A repository with a broken hub.yml keeps serving the last good one.

Revisions

Revisions are immutable and numbered per project. Rolling back selects an earlier revision and recompiles its routes. The next valid push activates again, so rollback holds only until the next push.

Switching source

Switching from GitHub to manual copies the active revision into the editor and stops syncing. Switching back means choosing a repository again.

While a project uses a GitHub source, the dashboard editor is read-only. The repository is the source of truth.

The configuration repository does not have to be the repository you watch

filters.repo can name any repository the organization has a connection for. Keeping hub.yml in a private repository while triggers watch several public ones is a common setup, because push access to the configuration repository grants access to the organization's connections.

Next: the hub.yml reference.
