* docs(sidebar): support 3 levels of TOC nesting for End User Guide > Collaborate
Addresses item 6 of Eric Sethna's docs revamp feedback ("Can we support
three levels of nesting in the TOC? ... ie End-user guide > Collaborate").
PR #37630 (open, not merged) applies the manual-grouping-override pattern
to Administration Guide > Onboard/Scale but doesn't touch End User Guide,
and the pattern isn't a shared generic engine — each section gets its own
small builder/regroup pair. This adds that pair for Collaborate
(COLLABORATE_GROUPS/COLLABORATE_ORDER/COLLABORATE_HIDDEN +
buildCollaborateItem/regroupCollaborate/buildEndUserGuideSidebar),
regrouping its 49 flat files into Channels, Messaging & Threads, Calls &
Screen Sharing, Teams/Groups & Roles, Integrations & Connected Apps, and
Keyboard Shortcuts & Accessibility — giving End User Guide > Collaborate >
[group] > page, a genuine 3rd nesting level. Files stay flat on disk; no
URLs move.
* docs(sidebar): support inline subgroup specs in buildCollaborateItem
Addresses CodeRabbit review comment on #37663: buildCollaborateItem only
handled spec.group lookups, unlike buildAdminManageItem which also
supports inline {label, items} subgroup specs (used e.g. for the
Attribute-Based Access Control 4-level nesting under Admin Manage).
Detect spec.items before falling back to the COLLABORATE_GROUPS lookup
so Collaborate can gain the same nested-subgroup capability if needed,
without changing today's generated sidebar output.
* docs(sidebar): merge Collaborate regroup with master's agents-docs promotion
Rebasing onto master surfaced a duplicate 'buildEndUserGuideSidebar'
declaration: master gained its own End User Guide override (promoting
the Agents plugin's usage-tips page, from #37627) after this branch was
cut, so git's non-conflicting merge silently produced two function
bodies with the same name — a SyntaxError caught by CI's docs build
check, not by the rebase itself.
Merged both overrides into a single buildEndUserGuideSidebar: keeps the
agents usage-tips promotion from master, plus this branch's Collaborate
regrouping into COLLABORATE_GROUPS. Verified with a clean
'npm run build:sidebars' run (zero warnings) after initializing the
docs/vendor/mattermost-plugin-agents submodule locally to stage agents
docs first.
* docs(sidebar): clarify TOC nesting depth wording, reorder Collaborate items
- README: describe the inline sub-group nesting as a third category
level / four-level path instead of ambiguous "3rd level" wording.
- Move invite-people out of the mismatched "Teams, Groups & Roles"
group into its own top-level Collaborate entry, placed first.
- Reorder "Teams, Groups & Roles" so learn-about-roles leads the group.
