What

Adds a dedicated Support page at /support and makes it the hub for getting help, with every support entry point in the docs routed to the right channel.

Why

There was no single place that explains how to get help with Weaviate. Support info was scattered: support@weaviate.io was buried inline in a few Cloud pages, the forum was the only channel in the footer, and support plans live on the website. Users often land in "Contact Us" on the main site even when they need actual support. A dedicated page tells each user which channel fits their situation, and routing open-source surfaces through it avoids nudging open-source users into support tickets.

Changes

New Support page (docs/support/index.mdx)

  • Channel cards (Community Forum, Weaviate Cloud Support, Support plans, Documentation feedback) plus a "which channel for which situation" routing table
  • Sections for Cloud support tickets (portal + email), community support, support plans, docs feedback, and security disclosure
  • Rendered without a sidebar (displayed_sidebar: null)

Routing: hub for open source, portal for Cloud

  • Open-source surfaces link to /support: the page-bottom "Questions and feedback" include, the Database landing page, the navigation modal, and the Cloud FAQ
  • Cloud page-bottom sections keep direct Support Portal links; the portal URL is standardized on support.weaviate.io everywhere (was mixed with console.weaviate.cloud/support and mailto:)
  • Forum links point to the support category (forum.weaviate.io/c/support) instead of prefilled new-topic URLs

Navbar

  • Labeled Support button replaces the Academy icon button (Academy stays reachable via the navigation modal)

Navigation modal

  • "Need help?" now holds Ask AI, Support, Community Forum, and Contributor guide
  • Events & Workshops removed (stale, no upcoming events)
  • Compacted header and section spacing, and constrained to max-height: 85vh with a scrolling body so it fits small screens

Doc page footer

  • "Get help" section with Support (/support) and Forum links
  • "Edit this page" replaced with a Documentation Feedback link that opens the same prefilled GitHub issue as the feedback widget

Misc

  • Page-bottom section headings renamed "Support & feedback" → "Support"
  • Wording aligned with the free-tier rename (sandbox → free cluster), including static/prompts/*

Testing

  • yarn build / yarn build-dev
  • yarn validate-links-dev
  • Visual check of navbar button, navigation modal, footer links, and /support

- Drop the Academy icon button from the main navbar (still reachable
  via the navigation modal) along with its now-unused styles
- Tighten modal header padding, title size, body padding, and section
  gaps so the modal fits without scrolling on most screens
