docs: Documentation information architecture assessment

[Copilot]

Assessment of Cloud and Kanvas documentation structure against Diátaxis framework principles.

Findings

Strengths:

• Clear product separation (Cloud/Kanvas)
• Hugo/Docsy conventions followed
• Consistent frontmatter metadata

Gaps:

• Content organized by feature rather than user workflow
• Limited cross-product integration guides
• Navigation weights may not reflect user priorities

Recommendations

• User journey organization: Restructure around tasks (getting-started → concepts → how-to → reference → troubleshooting) vs product features
• Progressive disclosure: Layer content depth by user experience level
• Cross-linking: Add integration guides where Cloud/Kanvas workflows overlap
• Navigation audit: Review page weights to surface high-priority content first

Suggested Structure

/cloud/ or /kanvas/
├── getting-started/     # Onboarding & tutorials
├── concepts/            # Explanatory content  
├── how-to/              # Task-based guides
├── reference/           # Technical details
└── troubleshooting/     # Problem resolution

Priority Actions

Priority	Action
High	Content audit, add getting-started tutorials
Medium	Cross-product guides, internal linking
Lower	API reference expansion, advanced tutorials

<issue_title>[Docs] Analyze current documentation information architecture</issue_title>
<issue_description>#### Current State
The Cloud and Kanvas documentation sets have been developed, but remain incomplete. As more effort is put into completing them, it's appropriate to stop, analyze, and assess whether the current information architecture is ideal or could be improved.

Task

1. Perform such an assessment, make and justify recommended changes, if any.
2. Read and consider the current outline and audience defined here - https://github.com/layer5io/docs?tab=readme-ov-file#layer5-documentation-structure
