Description

This PR updates us to the newest version (1.3.0 currently) of the Canonical Starter Pack (extension version). Future updates should be easier, as the directory structure now matches the Starter Pack.

Changes made (that don't need review):

• Most files have been moved without changes into the docs/ dir.
  • Doc templates, .github and .readthedocs.yaml are still at the root
• Many files have been consolidated:
  • Spelling and inclusivity check exceptions all go into docs/.custom_wordlist.txt
  • Makefiles
  • Our custom config now all goes into docs/conf.py
• All custom css, js and html templates are in docs/.sphinx/
• Automated checks now use Vale on the backend, and are much faster
• All restructuredtext-only content has been removed

1. 99% of files are moved without changing, so can be skipped.
2. I disabled the automatic doc checks as the Vale implementation is very stringent. I will clear the failures and re-enable the checks in a follow-up PR.

Special points for reviewers

GH Copilot helped me resolve some of the blockers. I'd like a second opinion on these changes to ensure they're acceptable:

• docs/.sphinx/_templates/footer.html

  • GHC resolved the template overrides so we keep our GH links in the footer.

• ./Makefile

  • GHC created a Makefile wrapper at root so the make commands can be run anywhere

• docs/.sphinx/_templates/header.html

  • Cookie banner JS file was not being picked up. GHC removed a hardcoded path in header.html on the basis that conf.py contains the path to the bundle.js file and is injected onto every page by default.

• Feedback button wasn't picking up the link to the issue template:

  • docs/.sphinx/_templates/page.html: GHC added a <meta> tag to expose the github_url variable to JS. It also changed from window.onload to DOMContentLoaded for better performance.
  • docs/.sphinx/_static/js/github_issue_links.js: now reads github_url from the meta tag
