/kind cleanup

What this PR does / why we need it:

  • Shows the footer on all pages (like the Kubernetes docs). On sidebar pages it is offset by the sidebar width so it sits within the content column.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
kinda Fixes # #1057

Special notes for your reviewer:
The Gardener is a project of the NeoNephos Foundation. line is kept.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Changes

Footer update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Footer behavior and content
.vitepress/theme/components/VPFooter.vue
The footer now derives the project name and current year reactively. It displays consolidated copyright and policy content, removes the legal-links row, and uses a desktop z-index above the sidebar.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fa1f7

On desktop sidebar pages, the footer may cover the lower part of the sidebar navigation, making those links difficult or impossible to use. Merge should wait for the footer offset to be corrected or for the impact to be explicitly accepted.

Replace footer legal links with LF Europe copyright and View Policies
link. Remove SAP-referencing terms-of-use, privacy and legal-disclosure
pages. Show footer only on the landing page (layout: home).

Render the footer on every page (like the Kubernetes docs) instead of
only the landing page. On pages with a sidebar it is offset by the
sidebar width so it sits within the content column. Use the site title
instead of the per-page title for the project name.

Nice! Simply pointing to: https://linuxfoundation.eu/en/policies is neat

The new version will not have a legal disclosure anymore. Did you clarify with NeoNephos/LF Europe whether this is ok?
From my amateur perspective: As LF Europe is listed as a Belgian stichting and the website does not offer a commercial service the usual German requirement for a legal disclosure might not apply

The footer now spans the full page width everywhere, matching the
landing page. On sidebar pages the fixed sidebar previously overlapped
the footer; VPFooter now publishes its visible height so the sidebar
lifts its bottom edge and ends above the footer instead of covering it.

Comment thread .vitepress/theme/components/VPFooter.vue Outdated
Replace the JS-based footer-height measurement with a static z-index rule:
on desktop the footer now renders above the fixed sidebar (--vp-z-index-sidebar
+ 1), so the sidebar scrolls behind it instead of overlapping during fast
momentum scrolling. The rule is desktop-only so the mobile sidebar overlay
still covers the footer.

The copyright year is now derived from the current date and refreshed on the
client, so it stays correct without a rebuild.

Offset VPFooter on desktop sidebar pages.

At widths >= 960px, VPSidebar is fixed and the footer raises its z-index above the sidebar. Since VPFooter has no has-sidebar state or offset, its full-width background can cover the lower sidebar. Bind useSidebar().hasSidebar and apply the matching 960px and 1440px offsets used by .VPContent.has-sidebar.

Just one more comment: The scrolling feels a bit strange because the content container and the footer scroll independently of the sidebar. By scrolling down, the sidebar remains fixed, and the footer ends up covering it.

Image

I'd expect the sidebar and the content container to move together, not the content container and the footer. Here's an example of what I mean:
