docs(www): write the SurfSense 2.0 user docs on Fumadocs' Spacious layout - #2383
Writes the SurfSense 2.0 user docs at /docs/v2 and moves the docs site onto Fumadocs' Spacious layout.
Content: replaces the "Docs in progress" placeholder with guides for the desktop app and its Docker image: install and quick start, using SurfSense, models, plugins, Docker, privacy and license, and reference. UI labels are quoted from the app's English catalog. The sidebar is grouped into set up, use, extend and self-hosting, every folder one level deep; moved pages redirect from their old addresses.
Fumadocs upgrade: fumadocs 16.17 and fumadocs-mdx 15. next.config becomes next.config.mts (fumadocs-mdx 15 loads it only as ESM), and the redirect modules become .mts. zod moves to 4.6.7 to match fumadocs-mdx's copy.
Layout:fumadocs-ui now aliases @fumadocs/base-ui 16.17.8, which has the Spacious layout fumadocs.dev uses. The old layout overrides are removed, pages show their last update as a spelled-out date (rendered on the server, in UTC), and the docs take the SurfSense light palette.
Markdown for AI tools: every page has Copy Markdown and an Open menu (GitHub, View as Markdown, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor). A page's Markdown is served at its URL plus .mdx, and at its own URL when the request prefers text/markdown. /llms.txt lists every page and /llms-full.txt holds them all.
Header and icons: a Discord link next to GitHub, a laptop icon for 2.0 and a history icon for Legacy in the version picker, and the app's plugin icon on the Plugins folder. Models, Plugins and Docker open their own overview page when clicked.
Contributor docs:CONTRIBUTING.md and AGENTS.md now ask for the user docs to be updated in the same PR as a user-visible change, and www/AGENTS.md holds the writing rules.
Dev warnings fixed: the ::highlight rule moves out of globals.css (Turbopack warned on every compile), and the .mts rename stops Node's MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON warning.
Why
/docs/v2 was a placeholder, so 2.0 users had no guide for the desktop app or the Docker image. The Radix fumadocs-ui has no Spacious layout in any release, and the docs used Fumadocs' stock greys instead of the site's palette.
Fixes # (none)
How to test
cd www && pnpm install
cd www && pnpm test:unit
cd www && pnpm dev
Open /docs/v2. The sidebar shows set up, use, extend and self-hosting, and clicking Models, Plugins or Docker opens its overview page.
Open an old plugin page address. It redirects to the new one.
On any page, use Copy Markdown and the Open menu. Fetch /docs/v2/<page>.mdx, and the page URL with Accept: text/markdown; both return Markdown.
Fetch /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt.
Check that the date at the bottom of a page reads like "November 2, 2026" with JavaScript disabled.
Check that the dev server starts without the MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON or ::highlight warnings.
High-level PR Summary
This PR migrates the SurfSense 2.0 documentation from a placeholder to comprehensive user guides for the desktop app and Docker image, while upgrading the docs site to Fumadocs' Spacious layout. The documentation now covers installation, models, chat, agent capabilities, Studio, plugins, Docker deployment, and more. The site adds AI-friendly features like markdown endpoints (/llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, and per-page .mdx routes) and UI improvements including copy-markdown and open-in-AI-tool menus. The upgrade moves to fumadocs 16.17+ with the @fumadocs/base-ui package (aliased as fumadocs-ui), applies the SurfSense light palette to docs pages, and removes previous layout overrides. Config files are renamed from .ts to .mts to satisfy fumadocs-mdx 15's ESM requirement.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added Markdown versions of documentation pages and a Markdown index for compatible tools.
Added a Discord link to the site.
Added copy and page-view options to documentation pages, with formatted update dates when available.
Documentation
Published a SurfSense 2.0 overview and expanded guides for installation, chat, models, plugins, Docker, privacy, Studio, and more.
Added troubleshooting guidance and practical information on workspaces, data, updates, and settings.
Improvements
Refreshed documentation layout and navigation, and updated plugin documentation links.
fumadocs-mdx 15 loads next.config only as ESM, so the config becomes
next.config.mts: import.meta.dirname replaces __dirname and its local
imports name their .ts files. A package-wide "type": "module" was
rejected because it breaks tests that read __dirname.
zod moves to 4.6.7 to match fumadocs-mdx's own copy; with two copies,
tsc ran out of memory comparing them in source.config.ts.
16.17.10 is newer but younger than pnpm's 7-day minimumReleaseAge.
Replaces the "Docs in progress" placeholder at /docs/v2 with guides for
the desktop app and its Docker image: install and quick start, using
SurfSense, models, plugins, Docker, privacy and license, and reference.
Labels are quoted from the app's English catalog.
Each docs page gets Copy Markdown and an Open menu (GitHub, View as
Markdown, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor), adapted from Fumadocs' page actions
onto fumadocs-ui's own primitives so no packages are added.
A page's Markdown is at its URL plus .mdx, and at its own URL for a
request that prefers text/markdown (proxy.ts). /llms.txt lists every
page and /llms-full.txt holds them all.
Turbopack's CSS parser doesn't know ::highlight and warned on every
compile about the two Fumadocs utilities that style search matches.
Tailwind now skips them, and the same rule is a <style> in the root
layout's head, which Turbopack doesn't parse. Search looks the same.
next.config.mts imports them; as .ts files in a package without
"type": "module", Node parsed them as CommonJS first and printed
MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON on every start. Their tests, a comment
and the install-channels doc follow the new names.
fumadocs.dev installs @fumadocs/base-ui under the fumadocs-ui name and
uses its Spacious layout; the Radix fumadocs-ui has no Spacious in any
release. fumadocs-ui now aliases @fumadocs/base-ui 16.17.8, so existing
imports keep working, and the docs layout, page and CSS move to Spacious.
The overrides that flattened the old layout go: the fixed grid, the
single-colour surfaces and their --main-panel tokens, the custom sidebar
separator and the clerk TOC. The copied page actions give way to the
built-in Copy Markdown and Open, and pages show their last update.
…ting
Set up follows the overview, with the Models folder inside it. Every
folder is one level deep: SurfSense's own plugins move up out of their
subfolder, under a label, and the old addresses redirect. Models and
Plugins split into labelled groups, and pages whose titles leaned on
their folder are renamed, such as Docker's index to Install with Docker.
Fumadocs' PageLastUpdate renders the date only after hydration, so the
server HTML held "Last updated on" alone, and it accepts no format: it
prints the browser's numeric date, where 11/2/2026 reads two ways. The
page now renders it on the server as "November 2, 2026", in UTC.
A Fumadocs icon link, styled like the GitHub one; Fumadocs ships no
Discord icon, so it takes the site's own mark. DISCORD_URL joins
REPO_URL in site-content.
CONTRIBUTING and AGENTS covered only docs/architecture, so a change to
what users see could leave www/content/docs/v2 describing the old
behaviour. Both now ask for the page to change in the same PR, and
www/AGENTS.md holds the writing rules the 2.0 docs follow.
The docs were Fumadocs' stock neutral greys while the rest of the site
uses the warm canonical palette. Fumadocs' tokens now take PALETTE.css
values in light mode, only while a docs page is shown, so its popovers
follow. Spacious paints its shell with fd-card and the raised page with
fd-background, so those take app-shell and card.
Each folder's meta.json listed "index", which Fumadocs ranks above the
folder claiming it, so the folders only expanded and their overview sat
as the first child. Without it, clicking the folder opens the overview,
as fumadocs.dev's folders do, and the overviews take the folder names.

Replace the Chromium term in the Linux keyring fallback sentence.
96-96: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value
Replace the Chromium term in the Linux keyring fallback sentence.
The sentence on privacy.mdx line 97 names "Chromium's built-in key." This is an internal implementation detail. The docs guideline says readers are users, not engineers, and excludes internals. Rewrite the sentence without the engine name. The sentence already says the fallback "protects less," so the user-facing meaning stays the same.
📝 Suggested fix
-On Linux without a keyring, SurfSense still starts, using Chromium's built-in key instead, which protects less. If the keychain entry is lost, after a reinstall or a keychain reset, your saved keys can't be read.

Rewrite the Linux keyring fallback sentence in the privacy documentation to
remove the Chromium engine name while retaining the user-facing meaning that
SurfSense still starts with a built-in key that protects less. Leave the
remaining keychain-loss guidance unchanged.
The proxy ran before next.config's .mdx rewrite, so a .mdx URL that
preferred Markdown reached the route with the extension in its slug and
404ed. The proxy now leaves .mdx URLs to that rewrite.
/llms-full.txt joins 2.0 and Legacy pages, several with the same title,
so each page's heading now carries its URL.
…nd installs
- Plugin servers also get saved keys and sign-ins, and may get text
from ticked sources; a key a server echoes back reaches the chat.
- The tool change check covers descriptions and safety hints only.
- Local models and dictation stay local unless a chat uses plugins or a
remote model.
- The script's apt install is updated by apt; the Docker installer needs
its folder after `docker compose down`; restore empties the volume.
- Open opens SurfSense's copy; report a crash before restarting.
- Warnings for LM Studio and Ollama served to the network.
Cover the proxy Markdown branch with a request-level test.
docs-markdown-path.test.ts imports only docsMarkdownPath and asserts path strings. No test calls proxy or isMarkdownPreferred. A proxy that always returns NextResponse.next() would pass the current suite.
Add a test file under www/features/docs/. It should import proxy from www/proxy.ts and build NextRequest objects, as www/app/(home)/downloads/[platform]/installer-download.test.ts does. Cover two cases:
A docs request with an Accept header that isMarkdownPreferred treats as Markdown-preferring returns a rewrite to /llms.mdx/....
An ordinary docs request returns NextResponse.next().
Place the file under features/docs/ rather than beside www/proxy.ts. pnpm test:unit runs only app/**/*.test.ts and features/**/*.test.ts. A test at www/proxy.test.ts would not run under the unit command that www/AGENTS.md requires before a PR.

10:
Add a request-level test under features/docs that calls proxy with NextRequest
instances and verifies both Markdown-preferring docs requests rewrite to the
matching /llms.mdx path and ordinary docs requests return NextResponse.next().
Keep the existing docsMarkdownPath path assertions; ensure the new test is
included by the unit-test discovery pattern.
The .mdx test checks only that docsMarkdownPath returns null. It does not check the rewrite that serves the Markdown. The rule at www/next.config.mts:41 maps /docs/:path*.mdx to /llms.mdx/docs/:path*. If that rule is removed or changed, every test in docs-markdown-path.test.ts still passes.
Add an assertion for the rule's source and destination, or add a request test for a .mdx URL that checks the response.

Extend the `.mdx` test alongside `docsMarkdownPath` to verify the
