Nick Vigilante f5e0c1a860 fix: correct invalid inline HTML in hand-written docs (#27298) 
## What

Fixes three classes of invalid inline HTML in hand-written docs, all of
which
render incorrectly (or only render by accident) today. Found via a
systematic,
markdown-aware audit of every `.md` under `docs/` (ignores code blocks,
inline
code, comments, and autolinks), so this is a complete sweep of the
hand-written
surface, not a spot fix.

## Changes

1. **`<kdb>` → `<kbd>` (72 tags).** The keyboard element is `<kbd>`;
`<kdb>` is
a typo that is not a real element, so renderers drop/mangle it and the
   keystrokes lose their styling. Corrected across the IDE access guides
(`cursor.md`, `windsurf.md`, `antigravity.md`). The correct `<kbd>` is
   already used in the JetBrains Gateway guide.
2. **Unclosed `<div class="tabs">` in `docs/admin/users/idp-sync.md`.**
The
"Provider-Specific Guides" section opened a `.tabs` container (rendered
as
the `DocsTabs` component) that was never closed, so the wrapper leaked
over
the rest of the page. Added the missing `</div>` before `## Next Steps`,
   matching the three other tab sections in the same file.
3. **`<Image>` → `<img>` (6 tags).** `<Image>` is not a registered docs
component — it renders only because the HTML5 parser rewrites the legacy
`<image>` tag to `<img>`. Converted to lowercase `<img>` for correctness
and
   clarity; rendering is unchanged. (`organizations.md`, `idp-sync.md`,
   `add-envbuilder.md`.)

## Scope / what is intentionally not here

- **Generated reference docs.** The audit also found swallowed
placeholders in
  generated pages (`<server>` in `reference/api/{chats,schemas}.md`;
`<glob>`/`<host>` in `agent-firewall`; `<region>` in `server`). Those
are
fixed at the generator source (codersdk comments / CLI flag help) and
tracked
  in DOCS-551.
- **`<b>Resource<b>`** in the generated audit-logs table was fixed
separately in
  #27293 (merged) and is not duplicated here.
- **`<children></children>`** is an intentional, renderer-implemented
docs
component (child-page card grid) with no HTML equivalent, so it is left
as-is.
It is well-formed; a follow-up CI checker will still verify its
open/close
  balance.

A follow-up adds CI enforcement so invalid inline HTML can't regress.

Nick Vigilante c84aa564ba docs: normalize code-fence languages for Shiki compatibility (#27161) 
Normalizes non-standard code-fence language tags across `docs/**` so a
strict highlighter (Shiki, used by Fumadocs) won't fail the build on an
unrecognized language, and unifies redundant synonym tags onto one
canonical form per language. The current renderer (Speed-Highlight)
detects the language from the code content, not the fence label, so this
drift wasn't visible until now.

## Changes

- `hcl` -> `tf` (199 fences, including indented ones nested in
numbered/bulleted lists). Shiki ships `hcl` and `terraform` as two
distinct grammars (not aliases); every `hcl`-tagged fence in `docs/**`
is actually Terraform resource/data/provider syntax, so the more
specific `terraform` grammar is correct for all of them. `tf` is Shiki's
own alias for that grammar, and it's also what GitHub's own markdown
renderer resolves to the same HCL/Terraform highlighting.
- `pwsh`/`powershell` -> `ps1`. Both `ps` and `ps1` are registered
PowerShell aliases in Shiki, but on GitHub's renderer only `.ps1` is a
registered file extension (`.ps` isn't), so `ps1` renders identically to
`powershell` there today while bare `ps` would silently lose
highlighting.
- `env` -> `dotenv` (a dedicated Shiki grammar for `KEY=VALUE` files)
- `text`/`output`/`none`/`url` -> `txt`. Same built-in plain-text
fallback either way, just shorter.
- `Dockerfile` -> `dockerfile` (lowercase)
- `bash`/`shell` -> `sh` (732 fences). Shiki and GitHub both alias all
three to a single shell grammar; this was already the style guide's
stated preference, just not enforced across the existing corpus until
now.
- `markdown` -> `md` (4 fences). Alias of the same grammar in both Shiki
and GitHub.
- `jsonc` -> `json` (1 fence). The block has no comments or trailing
commas, so it doesn't need the comments-capable grammar.
- `ts` -> `tsx` (2 fences, `docs/about/contributing/frontend.md`).
Verified the actual content tokenizes identically under both grammars,
and a sibling block in the same file already needs `tsx` for real JSX,
so unifying to one tag is safe for this file. Documented a caveat: `tsx`
mis-tokenizes the legacy angle-bracket type-assertion syntax
(`<Type>value`), which is invalid in real `.tsx` files anyway, so use
`value as Type` instead.
- `yml` -> `yaml` (1 fence)
- Updated `docs/.style/style-guide/formatting.md` to document all
canonical tags

`promql` (2 fences) and `caddyfile` (2 fences) are left as-is. Shiki
doesn't bundle a grammar for either, so they need a custom grammar
registration when the site adopts Shiki, rather than degrading to `txt`.
Tracked as follow-up work under DOCS-118 and
[DOCS-544](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-544/vendor-a-local-promql-grammar-for-shiki-syntax-highlighting)
(promql).

Does not touch `offlinedocs/`.

Linear:
[DOCS-476](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-476/normalize-docs-code-fence-languages-de-risk-shikifumadocs)

<details>
<summary>How the fence tags were verified</summary>

Each tag was tested against a real `shiki@latest` highlighter instance
(`codeToHtml`/`codeToTokens`) and cross-checked against GitHub's
`@wooorm/starry-night` grammar sources (the renderer that actually
displays these `.md` files today, in repo browsing and PR diffs), since
that's what determines whether brevity is safe before Shiki adoption:

```text
FAIL  env        -- Language `env` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  Dockerfile -- Language `Dockerfile` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  promql     -- Language `promql` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  caddyfile  -- Language `caddyfile` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  pwsh       -- Language `pwsh` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL  output     -- Language `output` is not included in this bundle.
```

`hcl` doesn't error in Shiki, since it's a real grammar, but that's
exactly the trap: it was silently rendering every fence with the generic
HCL grammar instead of the Terraform-specific one. Every `hcl`-tagged
fence in `docs/**` was manually checked against `origin/main` and is
genuinely Terraform content.

For `ts`/`tsx`, tokenizing the actual doc content confirmed identical
output under both grammars; a synthetic test with the legacy
angle-bracket cast syntax confirmed `tsx` degrades on that specific
construct, which the style guide now calls out.

The first normalization pass only matched fence tags at column 0
(`^```tag$`), missing tags indented inside numbered/bulleted lists. A
follow-up pass caught the remaining occurrences at any indentation
level.

Jeremy Ruppel 79fc8541ed docs: update template creation docs for template builder (#26993) 
## Summary

Update documentation across 9 files to present the template builder as
the primary template creation method, replacing the old starter
templates flow as the default entry point.

The template builder is a guided wizard that lets admins select base
infrastructure, add registry modules, configure variables, and produce
validated Terraform without writing HCL.

## Changes

**Primary docs (significant rewrites):**
- `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md`: Added "Using the
template builder" as the first section with full 5-step wizard
documentation, screenshots, airgap/registry notes, and alternative
creation links. Moved CLI starter template flow to its own section.
Fixed "You can the" typo.
- `docs/get-started/index.md`: Rewrote Steps 4-6 to use the builder with
the Docker base template instead of the Coder Quickstart (which is not a
builder base template). Generalized workspace parameter instructions.
- `docs/start/first-template.md`: Rewrote to use the builder. Removed
old starter templates references, TODO notes, typo, and commented-out
sections.

**Secondary docs (targeted edits):**
- `docs/admin/templates/index.md`: Replaced starter templates section
with builder-first "Create a template" section.
- `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md`: Renamed "Starter
templates" to "Creating templates" pointing to the builder.
- `docs/install/airgap.md`: Added "Template builder" section documenting
`CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` and
`CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL`.
- `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md`: Added TIP callout
recommending the builder. Fixed `coder templates create` -> `coder
templates push` inconsistency.
- `docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`:
Updated Dashboard tab to reference the builder and "Upload an existing
template" alternative.
- `docs/about/screenshots.md`: Updated caption and image reference for
template builder.

**Screenshots added:**
- `templatebuilder_01_bases.png` (base selection step)
- `templatebuilder_02_modules.png` (module selection step)
- `templatebuilder_03_module_customization.png` (module settings step)
- `templatebuilder_04_customizations.png` (template customizations step)

<details>
<summary>Implementation plan</summary>

# Plan: Update docs/ for Template Builder Launch

## Summary

The Template Builder is a new guided wizard at `/templates/new/builder`
that lets admins create templates by selecting a base infrastructure
template, composing it with registry modules, configuring variables, and
producing a validated Terraform bundle without writing HCL. The docs
need to be updated to present this as the primary/recommended template
creation path, while preserving the existing paths (upload, CLI,
duplicate) as alternatives.

## Key behavioral facts from the code

- **Route**: `/templates/new/builder` (new), `/templates/new` (old,
still exists)
- **Entry point**: The "New Template" button on the Templates page links
to `/templates/new/builder` when the builder is enabled; otherwise falls
back to `/starter-templates`
- **5-step wizard**:
  1. **Select base infrastructure** (e.g., Docker, AWS EC2, Kubernetes)
  2. **Base template parameters** (optional, skipped if base has none)
3. **Select modules** (IDE, AI Agent, Source Control, etc.;
multi-select, grouped by category)
4. **Module settings** (optional, skipped if no configurable variables)
5. **Template customizations** (name, display name, description, icon,
organization)
- **Alternative creation links** are shown on step 1: "Start from
scratch", "Upload an existing template", "Browse community templates",
"Use template agent skill"
- **Disabled via**: `CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` env var /
`--disable-template-builder` flag. When disabled, redirects to old
`/templates/new` flow
- **Registry URL override**: `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL`
(default: `registry.coder.com`)
- **Requires outbound access** to `registry.coder.com` for `terraform
init` at compose time
- **Modules are bundled** with the Coder release binary; the builder
does not fetch metadata from the registry at runtime
- **Sensitive variables** (secrets) are not collected by the builder;
they are deferred to workspace creation time
- **Module conflicts** show a warning but do not block creation
- **One-way**: No re-entry into the builder for existing templates; edit
HCL directly after creation

## Files to update

### Tier 1: Primary creation flow docs (significant rewrites)

#### 1. `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md`

**Current state**: Documents three creation paths: "From a starter
template" (primary), "From an existing template", "From scratch
(advanced)".

**Changes**:
- Add a new section **"Using the template builder"** as the first and
primary section (before "From a starter template").
- Describe the 5-step wizard flow: select base infrastructure, configure
base parameters, select modules, configure module settings, set template
customizations.
- Mention that the builder is enabled by default and requires outbound
access to `registry.coder.com`.
- Note that sensitive variables are collected from developers at
workspace creation, not during template building.
- Add a callout about disabling the builder for airgapped deployments
(`CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER`).
- Note the `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL` option for self-hosted
registry mirrors.
- Keep existing "From a starter template", "From an existing template",
and "From scratch" sections largely intact, but reframe them as
alternative paths.
- Update the "From a starter template" Web UI instructions to note the
new entry point routing (the "New Template" button now goes to the
builder when enabled).
- Fix existing typo: "You can the [Coder CLI]" should be "You can use
the [Coder CLI]".

#### 2. `docs/start/first-template.md`

**Current state**: Beginner tutorial walking through creating a template
from the Docker starter template via the old flow. Has a typo (`s` at
end of line 32), commented-out workspace creation section, and TODO
notes.

**Changes**:
- Rewrite steps 2 and 3 to use the Template Builder as the primary path.
- Step 2: Navigate to **Templates**, select **New Template**, which
opens the Template Builder.
- Step 3: Walk through the builder wizard steps (select Docker base,
optionally select modules like code-server, configure template
name/description, create).
- Remove the typo on line 32 (`s`).
- Keep the "Modify your template" section (step 6) intact since it
covers post-creation editing which is unchanged.
- Remove or update the reference to "Starter Templates" as a separate
page since the builder subsumes that entry point.

#### 3. `docs/get-started/index.md`

**Current state**: Quickstart guide. Step 4 says "Select **Templates** →
**New Template**" then pick "Coder Quickstart" from starter templates.

**Changes**:
- Update Step 4 to describe using the Template Builder.
- The flow becomes: Select **Templates** → **New Template** → builder
opens → select **Coder Quickstart** as the base template → optionally
add modules → set name/description → **Create Template**.
- Update the "What just happened?" explanation to mention the builder
composed and validated the Terraform.
- Screenshot reference `create-quickstart-template.png` will need a new
screenshot (note this in the PR; screenshots are out of scope for this
change but should be flagged).

### Tier 2: Secondary references (targeted edits)

#### 4. `docs/admin/templates/index.md`

**Current state**: Overview page mentioning starter templates as the
primary creation path.

**Changes**:
- Update the "Starter templates" section to mention the Template Builder
as the recommended way to create templates, with starter templates
serving as base templates within the builder.
- Update the link to point to the builder section: `[Create a template
with the template
builder](./creating-templates.md#using-the-template-builder)`.
- Update the screenshot reference and caption. The "Starter Templates"
page screenshot may no longer be the first thing admins see.

#### 5. `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md`

**Current state**: Documents starter templates, editing, updating,
deleting.

**Changes**:
- Update the "Starter templates" section to mention the Template Builder
as the primary creation path, with starter templates available as base
templates within it.
- Update the image reference from `starter-templates.png` if it shows
the old flow.

#### 6. `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md`

**Current state**: Detailed tutorial for writing a template from scratch
with Terraform.

**Changes**:
- Add a brief note at the top recommending the Template Builder for
users who want to create templates without writing Terraform, with a
link to
`docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md#using-the-template-builder`.
- In section "7. Create the template in Coder" → "Dashboard" tab, update
the UI steps. The "Upload template" option is now accessed via the old
creation flow at `/templates/new` (or through the "Upload an existing
template" link in the builder's alternatives).
- Fix the inconsistency where text says `coder templates create` but the
code block uses `coder templates push`.

#### 7.
`docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`

**Current state**: Documents creating envbuilder templates via
Dashboard, CLI, and Registry tabs.

**Changes**:
- In the Dashboard tab, update the instructions. The "Create Template"
button now opens the builder by default. Users need to use the "Upload
an existing template" alternative link or navigate to `/templates/new`
directly.
- Update "From scratch" reference since that option is now an
alternative link in the builder.
- The CLI and Registry tabs remain unchanged.

#### 8. `docs/install/airgap.md`

**Current state**: Documents air-gapped installations. No mention of
Template Builder.

**Changes**:
- Add a note in the relevant section about the Template Builder
requiring outbound access to `registry.coder.com`.
- Document `CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` for fully air-gapped
deployments.
- Document `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL` for deployments using a
self-hosted registry mirror.

#### 9. `docs/about/screenshots.md`

**Current state**: Contains a caption "Template administrators can
either create a new Template from scratch or choose a Starter Template".

**Changes**:
- Update the caption to mention the Template Builder as the primary
creation method.
- Screenshot reference may need updating (flag for new screenshot).

### Tier 3: Minor/link-only updates

#### 10. `docs/admin/users/organizations.md`

- If it references the old "Create Template" screen with an org picker,
add a note that the Template Builder also includes organization
selection in its final step.

#### 11. `docs/ai-coder/tasks.md`

- If it mentions creating templates, add a passing reference to the
Template Builder as an option.

## Files NOT to update

- `docs/reference/api/templatebuilder.md`: Auto-generated API reference.
Already correct.
- `docs/reference/api/schemas.md`: Auto-generated. Already correct.
- `docs/reference/cli/server.md`: Auto-generated. Already has
`--disable-template-builder` and `--template-builder-registry-url`.
- `docs/reference/cli/templates_create.md`: Already deprecated.
- `docs/reference/cli/templates.md`: No changes needed.

## Implementation order

1. `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md` (primary creation docs,
most content)
2. `docs/get-started/index.md` (quickstart)
3. `docs/start/first-template.md` (beginner tutorial)
4. `docs/admin/templates/index.md` (overview)
5. `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md` (managing
overview)
6. `docs/install/airgap.md` (airgap note)
7. `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md` (from-scratch tutorial)
8. `docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`
(envbuilder)
9. `docs/about/screenshots.md` (screenshot captions)
10. Minor link/reference updates in tier 3 files

## Style notes

- Follow the Diataxis framework; keep tutorials as tutorials, reference
as reference.
- Use present tense, active voice, second person.
- Bold for UI elements: **Templates**, **New Template**, **Create
Template**.
- No emdash/endash.
- Do not add screenshots; flag where new screenshots are needed as
comments/TODOs.
- Run `make fmt/markdown` and `make lint/markdown` after all changes.
- Verify all pages are already in `docs/manifest.json` (no new pages
being added, only existing pages being updated).

Nick Vigilante e458692cb8 refactor(docs): convert absolute coder/coder blob/tree/main links to relative (DOCS-351) (#26341) 
Closes [DOCS-351](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-351).

> [!WARNING]
> **DO NOT MERGE** until
[DOCS-349](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-349)
([coder.com#877](https://github.com/coder/coder.com/pull/877)) has
shipped to production and baked for at least one Vercel cycle.
>
> Without DOCS-349, the relative links in this PR resolve to broken
docs-route URLs (`/docs/helm/coder/values.yaml` -> 404) instead of
GitHub URLs tagged with the displayed docs version. DOCS-349 fixes the
rewriter to classify these as GitHub blob/tree URLs with the page's
resolved ref.

## TL;DR

Converts 121 absolute
`https://github.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main/<path>` links across 39
docs markdown files to relative paths. After this lands AND DOCS-349
deploys, every one of these links will follow the displayed docs version
(mainline tag on bare URLs, explicit tag on `/@vX.Y.Z/`, `main` on
`/@main/`) instead of always pointing to `main`.

## Why

Today a reader on `/docs/@v2.30.0/install/docker` follows a
`compose.yaml` link and arrives at `main`'s `compose.yaml`, which
doesn't necessarily match what the docs page describes. Helm values,
Terraform templates, and source-code references in particular drift
across versions. The fix is to let the coder.com rewriter substitute the
page's resolved ref into the URL; that only works on relative links.

## Example payoff (post-DOCS-349)

| URL | Today (absolute, always `main`) | After (relative + rewriter) |
|---|---|---|
| `/docs/install/docker` |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/compose.yaml` |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/v2.34.1/compose.yaml` (today's
mainline) |
| `/docs/@v2.30.0/install/docker` | same as above |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/v2.30.0/compose.yaml` |
| `/docs/@main/install/docker` | same as above |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/compose.yaml` |

## Scope

- **121 conversions** across **39 files**.
- Verb breakdown: `tree/main` (directories) and `blob/main` (files),
both flipped to relative paths.
- Line anchors (`#L23-L24`) and query strings preserved verbatim.
- Conversion is mechanical: relative path computed from the doc file's
directory to the target via `os.path.relpath`. Any path starting at the
same directory or below gets a `./` prefix; otherwise `../` chains.

## Rebased on main

The branch was rebased onto `main` after the DOCS-350 hotfix
([#26339](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/26339)) merged. The hotfix
repointed 3 `docs-backend-contrib-guide` refs in `backend.md` to `main`,
which then needed the same `main` -> relative conversion this PR is
doing for the other 121 links. The conflict was resolved by reapplying
the mechanical conversion to `backend.md` after taking the hotfix's
content. Net result: those 3 links land here as relative, same as
everything else. New HEAD `3f501cb622`.

## Inline fix folded in: dead `nix` link

- `docs/about/contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md:7` -> `../../../nix`

The original absolute URL `https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/nix`
already returned 404 today. Repointed to `flake.nix` (modern Nix
entrypoint, what the prose "Nix environment" semantically refers to).
Closes [DOCS-357](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-357) here since
the `check-docs` Linkspector job surfaced it during rebase; cheaper to
fix inline than in a separate single-line PR.

## Out of scope (filed separately)

- [DOCS-350](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-350): 3 dead
`docs-backend-contrib-guide` branch refs in `backend.md`
([#26339](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/26339), merged).
- [DOCS-352](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-352): 10 SHA-pinned
`(blob|tree)/<sha>` links pending intent review.
- [DOCS-355](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-355): code-server
analog (4 absolute `(blob|tree)/main` links in `coder/code-server`).
- [DOCS-356](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-356): 2 upstream
content bugs in `coder/code-server/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` (independent of
this PR).


## Not triggering `/coder-agents-review`

Docs-only edit; per `AGENTS.md` the bot review is reserved for
product/CI changes.

## Pre-mortem

| Concern | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Merging before DOCS-349 deploys regresses ~120 currently-working links
into 404s on coder.com | Clear DO-NOT-MERGE banner; tracked as blocker
in Linear. |
| Relative path computed incorrectly (off-by-one `..`) | Verified all
114 newly-relative non-md/non-image paths resolve to existing files in
the repo (only exception is the pre-existing dead `nix` link above). |
| Line anchors stripped during conversion | Preserved by the
substitution regex; verified `#L<n>-L<m>` cases in `airgap.md` and
`speed-up-templates.md`. |
| Future code reorgs change file locations | Relative links will start
pointing to nothing. Same failure mode as absolute links pointing to
renamed files; can be caught with a future link-checker job. |

## Validation

```
$ grep -rE 'github\.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main' docs --include="*.md" | wc -l
0
$ git diff --stat origin/main | tail -1
39 files changed, 118 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-)
```

114 newly-relative paths verified to resolve to existing repo files
(Python `os.path.exists` check on each computed target).

<details>
<summary>Decision log + planning context</summary>

**Why relative over `(blob|tree)/{{currentDocsVersion}}/...`
templating**: relative paths require zero markdown-system support and
zero upstream churn beyond this one PR. Templating would require a
preprocessor on `coder.com` side AND a convention upstream authors have
to remember; relative paths just work in a plain editor and
`github.com`'s own renderer too.

**Why `./` prefix on same-directory targets**: makes the conversion
grep-able later (`grep -E '\((\.\./|\./)'`).

**Why preserve `#L<n>-L<m>` anchors verbatim**: the anchor is meaningful
to the linked file's content, not to the URL form; keeping it as-is
preserves authorial intent. If the file later changes such that the line
range drifts, that's a different problem the SHA-pin audit
([DOCS-352](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-352)) will surface.

Mathias Fredriksson ea9f003cdd docs: clarify dev containers entry point and reduce callouts (#21188) 
The user guide jumped straight into integration details without explaining
what dev containers are. Now it opens with a brief orientation linking to
the spec, then explains this guide covers the Docker-based approach.

Converted several NOTE callouts to prose where they were just cross-references
or stacked unnecessarily. The Envbuilder index note was reframed to lead with
its strengths rather than "we recommend the other thing."

Also updates platform support to Linux only per current status.

Mathias Fredriksson 97bc7eb9e5 docs: restructure dev container documentation (#21157) 
Dev container admin docs were scattered across two locations: the Docker-based
integration under extending-templates/ and Envbuilder under managing-templates/.
There was no landing page explaining that two approaches exist or helping admins
choose between them.

This moves everything under admin/integrations/devcontainers/ with a decision
guide at the top. Dev containers are an integration with the dev container
specification, so integrations/ is a natural fit alongside JFrog, Vault, etc.

Stub pages remain at the original locations for discoverability.

New structure:

  admin/integrations/devcontainers/
  ├── index.md                                # Landing page + decision guide
  ├── integration.md                          # Docker-based dev containers
  └── envbuilder/
      ├── index.md
      ├── add-envbuilder.md
      ├── envbuilder-security-caching.md
      └── envbuilder-releases-known-issues.md
