* docs: new design for the documentation site
Apply the brand to the Material for MkDocs site: Inter and JetBrains Mono
served by the site (upright and real italic), brand colours, blue header band
with the syntax pattern, wordmark in the header, new home page (hero, cards,
animated feature tour), 404 page, polish for tabs, search, footer, focus
rings, tables and code blocks, and theme features (code copy, previous/next
footer, TOC follow, search suggestions).
Draw the number railroad diagram, the parser callback events and the iterator
illustrations as inline SVGs that follow the light and dark scheme. The
generator scripts are in docs/mkdocs/scripts/figures; the feature slideshow
(json-light.svg, json-dark.svg, replacing json.gif on the home page) is built
by docs/mkdocs/scripts/slideshow. Decision nodes in five flowcharts become
hexagons, which need far less room.

* docs: add figures, table captions and a macro chooser
- Figures with numbered captions: SAX stepper, json_view layout and edit
stepper, exception map, JSON pointer and patch walkers, QA pipeline,
scaling and binary size charts, roadmap lanes, release timeline,
integration decision tree and namespace builder
- Table captions (nj-table-caption) on 9 pages
- Compile times: modules and PCH charts, filesystem section, re-measured
Figure 1, links between features/modules.md and compile_times.md
- Interactive macro chooser for features/arbitrary_types.md
- Link check: exclude URLs that answer the plugin with 400/401/419 or are
dead (customers.md)

* docs: macro chooser generates adl_serializer for non-default-constructible types
Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
* docs: cross-link concept pages and API pages in See also sections
Add See also links in both directions between the concept pages (features,
home, integration) and the API pages, write API links in code font, give every
entry a comment after a dash, and show the callback event figure on the parser
callbacks page.

* docs: address review comments on the new design
- Home: add a "Latest release" button
- Sponsors: update the list and group it by tier
- Features: list all feature pages on the index page
- Releases: add highlights per release, link the 4.0 roadmap, add the first commit to the timeline
- Exceptions: prefix all example messages with the exception name
- API: no code font for format names in the See also links of the to_/from_ pages
- Merge Patch: show the document before, the patch, and the result
- Replace "--" with typographic dashes, mark external links with an icon, center Mermaid diagrams

* Clean up README, contribution guide, and repository metadata
- REUSE.toml: fix the Hedley path and SPDX id (CC0-1.0), mark the docset
icons as the public-domain JSON logo
- CITATION.cff: v3.12.0 was released on 2025-04-11
- FILES.md: list all workflows, describe the Meson option defaults
- README: ctest -LE, table of contents, typos, stale Android/MinGW advice,
moved links, merge duplicate Thanks entries, list the analysis tools
used in CI
- CONTRIBUTING: iterative parser, json_literals.hpp is generated, links
- .gitignore: backups and release outputs; .gitattributes: mark
generated files
- labeler: label other build systems and .github documentation
- MODULE.bazel: add the module version

* Clean up CI, CMake, Makefile, and Bazel files
- CMakeLists.txt: avoid VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL, which CMake < 3.7 lacks
- ci.cmake: test JSON_DisableTupleReferenceConversion in ci_cmake_flags,
remove unused variables and unreachable per-compiler targets, look up
Clang tools consistently, forward CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to ci_module_cpp20,
format json_literals.hpp and remove backups in ci_test_amalgamation
- BUILD.bazel: add json_literals.hpp to the single-header target
- workflows: format json_literals.hpp before copying it, drop the obsolete
natvis --version plumbing, name natvis and macro_builder in failure
messages, drop the duplicate amalgamation job, install Valgrind only
where needed, republish docs on version bumps, fix stale names
- Makefile: complete .PHONY and help, check-amalgamation always restores
the checked-in files, natvis uses its own venv, macro_builder_check
installs astyle, clean removes the fuzzer binaries
- remove tools/amalgamate/config_json_view.json (json_view.hpp is not on
develop yet)

* Fix inaccuracies in the documentation
- version history: json_base_class_t (3.11.3), JSON_HAS_CPP_11 (3.10.0),
JSON_HAS_RANGES exclusions, define-type macros, ABI tags
- releases: 3.12.0 raised the minimum CMake version
- from_*: the (ptr, len) overloads are deleted, not removed, in 4.0.0
- contains/count/find: document the deleted integral overloads
- add JSON_HAS_RANGE_VIEW_CONVERSION and list the JSON_HAS_* macros in
the macro overview
- mention BON8 and error_handler where binary formats are listed
- broken links, outdated URLs, warning count, Hunter v0.26.12
- copy_markdown_source hook: expand snippets in the Markdown copies

* Pass /EHsc to the Windows C++20 module build
ci_module_cpp20 now forwards CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to the module build. The
Windows workflow sets CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, which replaces CMake's MSVC
defaults including /EHsc, so <chrono> failed with C4530 under /WX.

Answer the OpenSSF Best Practices criteria that asked for policies the
project follows but had not written down:
- SECURITY.md: a first response within 14 days, publishing an advisory
with credit once a fix is released, and that only the latest release
receives security fixes.
- Governance: who has access to the project's resources, how write or
admin access is granted, and how CI secrets are stored and rotated.
- Quality assurance: how dependencies of the build, test, and
documentation tooling are pinned, scanned, and kept free of known
vulnerabilities.
Also update the assurance case, since comparison no longer recurses per
nesting level (#5390), and point the best practices badge and links to
bestpractices.dev under the program's current name.
