// The app routes are the framework's documentation, so they are built from one small
// vocabulary rather than each page inventing its own headings and spacing: a page has a
// title and a lede, then sections; a section explains something in prose, shows the Go
// that does it, and then RUNS that Go on the page you are reading. The last part is the
// point — a docs page for a UI framework that only shows screenshots of its components
// is a docs page that cannot tell you when it has gone stale.
// docsNav is the sidebar: the sections of the documentation, in reading order.
//
// It is data, not markup, because it is consumed twice — once by the sidebar and once
// by the /docs index, which lists the same pages as cards. Two hand-written copies of a
// nav is two copies to forget to update.
