b5f007d35e docs: fix broken path links, anchors, and tab rendering from RST-to-MDX migration (#37433)
* docs: resolve cross-file anchor mismatches from RST-to-MDX migration

The Sphinx-to-Docusaurus migration converted `:ref:`/`{ref}` links using
naive text-slugification, so anchors that pointed to headings in a
different file (e.g. release-summary tables linking into their
respective changelog pages) were emitted as same-page fragments and
silently resolved to nothing.

Built a label registry from the original Sphinx `.. _label:` / `(label)=`
targets to recover the true source file for each cross-reference, then
rewrote the affected links to point at the correct file + heading
anchor. Fixes 282 broken cross-file anchors, primarily in the mobile/
desktop/server release-summary pages, plus assorted same-page anchor
mismatches caught by re-auditing after the prior admonition/anchor fix.

* docs: manually resolve remaining anchor mismatches after cross-file audit

Hand-verified fixes for anchors that fuzzy-matching alone couldn't
safely resolve (confirmed against actual heading text/context, and in a
few cases against the original RST source, before applying):

- Typos and dropped words carried over from the original Sphinx docs
  (e.g. "bot-acocunts", "auto-follow-all-new-channel-threads" ->
  "follow-all-new-channel-threads").
- Sphinx auto-generated duplicate-heading IDs (#id1/#id3/#id4) resolved
  to their real target headings.
- Numbered-step TOC links in enterprise-roll-out-checklist.mdx that
  dropped the leading "N. " used in the actual heading slugs.
- Push-notification docs pointing at the wrong file entirely
  (environment-configuration-settings instead of
  push-notification-server-configuration-settings).
- SAML "saml-enterprise" label resolved to its true cross-file target
  (authentication-configuration-settings#saml-2-0), recovered from the
  original RST label definition that the automated registry missed
  because it sat after an RST transition marker.
- sso-saml-technical references converted from broken same-page/
  malformed-path anchors to correct page links.

* docs: fix SAML 2.0 anchor slug (saml-2-0 -> saml-20)

github-slugger strips periods rather than hyphenating them, so "SAML
2.0" slugifies to saml-20, not saml-2-0 as previously fixed.

* docs: fix broken path links found during docs/main migration cleanup

* docs: convert div.tab blocks to Docusaurus Tabs/TabItem components

* docs: restore missing Kubernetes deployment architecture diagrams

The RST-to-MDX migration never copied over the AWS/Azure/Oracle
architecture diagrams referenced by the deployment-architecture-at-scale
page, leaving broken images in each Tabs/TabItem.

* docs: fix 7 anchor mismatches from the fragment/heading audit

Covers three root causes from the anchor mismatch breakdown:
- Fragment repeated the target page's own title instead of a real
  heading, so the link is simplified to point at the bare page.
- Heading exists verbatim but lives on a sibling settings page
  (experimental-configuration-settings, push-notification-server-
  configuration-settings) rather than environment-configuration-settings.
- A page path was mistakenly pasted into a same-page #fragment instead
  of being used as a real cross-page link.

* docs: fix 8 anchor slugs that were close but didn't match the real heading

Repoints links whose fragment was a plausible guess (typo, reworded
heading, or wrong section) at the actual auto-generated slug of the
target heading, confirmed by inspecting each target page directly.

* docs: merge split Tabs blocks so tabs render horizontally

The div.tab conversion script split some sibling tab groups into
separate single-item Tabs blocks whenever a stray blockquote marker
sat between them, causing them to render stacked instead of as one
horizontal tab bar. Merges the MySQL/PostgreSQL and Team/Enterprise
Edition tab groups back into single Tabs blocks.

* docs: remove Azure tab and restore Kubernetes deploy content

The Mattermost Operator, Azure, and Oracle platform tabs on the
Kubernetes deployment guide were split across two separate Tabs
blocks (rendering stacked instead of as one tab bar) and all three
tab bodies were empty because the migration never flattened the
original RST include directives. Removes the unsupported Azure tab
and restores the Mattermost Operator and Oracle content from the
pre-migration RST sources as a single merged Tabs block.

* docs: unify Linux/Kubernetes/Containers deploy pages and fix FIPS/STIG placement

Kubernetes and Containers duplicated full install content across a top-level
page (Tabs) and orphaned sidebar subpages that nothing linked to. Reworked
both to follow the Linux page's pattern: shared content on the landing page,
platform-specific instructions live once in their own subpage.

Also removed configure-fips-at-install-time.mdx, which claimed FIPS is
available for native Linux installs — FIPS/STIG in Mattermost is a container
image property (Chainguard-based build), not available outside Docker/
Kubernetes. Consolidated all FIPS/STIG references onto
containers/fips-stig.mdx and pointed the Mattermost Operator subpage (not
Oracle OKE, which doesn't expose image selection) at it.

* docs: fix review findings — image alt text, Important callout markup, typo

- Replace generic alt="image" on scaling diagrams with descriptive text
  identifying cloud provider and user scale.
- Convert raw div.important markup in deploy-containers.mdx to the
  repo's <Important> component, matching usage elsewhere in the file.
- Fix "Matermost" typo in manage-your-display-options.mdx.

<PlanAvailability slug="all-commercial" />
Mattermost notifies you of new activity you're directly involved in. How you're notified depends on what Mattermost client you're using, the type of Mattermost activity you're being notified about, and how you prefer to be notified.
<Tip>
**Missing notifications?**
- Your mobile device may have Mattermost notifications disabled. See the [manage your mobile notifications](/end-user-guide/preferences/manage-your-mobile-notifications#enable-notifications) for details.
- You may need to grant permissions in the Mattermost [desktop app](/end-user-guide/preferences/manage-your-desktop-notifications#enable-notifications) or [web browser](/end-user-guide/preferences/manage-your-web-notifications#enable-notifications) to show notifications.
- Visit our [troubleshoot notifications](/end-user-guide/preferences/troubleshoot-notifications) documentation for guidance on ensuring you receive Mattermost notifications.
</Tip>
## You're in control
You are in control of how, when, and where you're notified of activity that matters to you based on how you prefer to work and collaborate. To access notification preferences:
- In a web browser or the desktop app, select the **Settings** <img src="/img/ui/settings-outline_F08BB.svg" alt="Use the Settings icon to customize your Mattermost user experience." className="theme-icon" /> icon located in the top right corner of the screen to manage your notification preferences.
- On mobile, tap your profile picture, then tap **Settings \> Notifications**.
See the [Default notifications](#default-notifications) table below for details on customizing your notification experience based on your preferred Mattermost client.
<Tip>
From Mattermost v9.8, your desktop and mobile notification preferences have been combined together under **Notifications**. If you're using an older Mattermost release and older Mattermost clients, you'll find separate preferences for desktop and mobile.
</Tip>
## Default notifications
Mattermost notifies you of new activity, including unread activity, [direct](/end-user-guide/collaborate/channel-types#direct-message-channels) and [group](/end-user-guide/collaborate/channel-types#group-message-channels) messages, and [@mentions](/end-user-guide/preferences/manage-your-mentions-keywords-notifications), [keywords](/end-user-guide/preferences/manage-your-mentions-keywords-notifications) you're actively watching, [thread replies](/end-user-guide/preferences/manage-your-thread-reply-notifications), and unread activity in [specific channels](/end-user-guide/preferences/manage-your-channel-specific-notifications).
The table below lists the types of notifications you can expect to see and hear in Mattermost. Select your preferred Mattermost clients to learn more about notifications for that client.

### Email notifications
When your admin [enables email notifications](/administration-guide/configure/site-configuration-settings#enable-email-notifications), Mattermost notifications are sent to you via email for [@mentions](/end-user-guide/collaborate/mention-people) and [direct messages](/end-user-guide/collaborate/channel-types#direct-message-channels) as soon as you're away from Mattermost for 5 minutes.
You can also opt in to be notified by email about thread replies you're following.
Additionally, if your admin [enables email batching](/administration-guide/configure/site-configuration-settings#enable-email-batching), email-based notifications are batched, and you can customize how frequenly you receive batched notifications by going to **Settings \> Notifications \> Email notifications**. The default frequency is 15 minutes. Choosing every 15 minutes or every hour will reduce the number of emails you receive.
Disable email notifications by going to **Settings \> Notifications \> Email notifications** and changing **On** to **Off**.
