Proposed change

Resolves #5507

This PR updates the ReadTheDocs/MkDocs documentation theme to match the Nest light and dark themes.

Changes

  • Added Geist and Geist Mono fonts to match the Nest frontend typography.
  • Added custom light and dark theme colors based on the Nest frontend theme.
  • Updated the documentation header and tabs to match the Nest header colors.
  • Added custom code block and link colors for both themes.
  • Added light and dark scrollbar styling.
  • Enabled custom primary and accent colors through extra.css.

Design decisions

  • The Nest frontend theme values were used as the source of truth for the documentation colors.
  • Header colors were taken from the Nest Header.tsx implementation:
    • Light mode: #98AFC7
    • Dark mode: #1e293b
  • The existing primary color behavior was preserved through scoped --md-primary-bg-color overrides for the light and dark header backgrounds.
  • Styling was implemented through extra.css instead of custom_dir, since no MkDocs HTML/template overrides are required.

Validation

  • make test-docs — passed (10 tests)
  • Pre-commit checks — passed
  • Prettier — passed
  • git diff --check — passed
  • Verified the documentation in both light and dark modes.
  • Verified code blocks, tables, navigation, and other documentation elements in both themes.
  • make check-test — ESLint reported a warning from the ignored generated frontend/coverage/lcov-report/block-navigation.js; no changes were made to generated or unrelated files.

Checklist

  • Required: I followed the contributing workflow
  • Required: I verified that my code works as intended and resolves the issue as described
  • Required: I ran all required checks and tests locally; all warnings addressed and failures resolved
  • I used AI for code, documentation, tests, or communication related to this PR

  • In docs/src/stylesheets/extra.css, the dark-mode scrollbar selectors target body[data-md-color-scheme='slate'] even though MkDocs Material places the attribute on <html>, so the dark-mode root scrollbar and Firefox fallback styles never apply; update the selectors to match the actual attribute location.

Check if these issues are valid — if so, understand the root cause of each and fix them. If appropriate, use sub-agents to investigate and fix each issue separately.


<file name="docs/src/stylesheets/extra.css">

<violation number="1" location="docs/src/stylesheets/extra.css:58">
P2: MkDocs Material sets `data-md-color-scheme` on the `<html>` element, so `html:has(body[data-md-color-scheme='slate'])` never matches and the dark-mode root scrollbar and Firefox fallback rules are dead. The same applies to the `='default'` root selectors in this block. Revert to `html[data-md-color-scheme='slate']` which targets the root element where the attribute actually lives.</violation>
