Replaces the purple R with the activerecord-hackery organisation's avatar across the docs site, and moves the colour scheme from the R's blues to the logo's reds.

Logo

  • The org avatar (300×300 PNG) is now the navbar logo, the favicon (the theme reuses the navbar logo) and the home page hero image.
  • The R logo files (ransack.*, ransack-h.*, ransack-v.*) are removed, since nothing references them any more. External links to those URLs will now 404.
  • The "logo designed by" credit on the community page is removed.
  • The unused assets/img/favicon.ico (the green Docusaurus dinosaur, left over from an older docs setup) is removed.

Colours

  • Light: Rails crimson #b0283a for links and accents, dark maroon #880828 behind brand buttons, and a crimson-to-red (#e83030) gradient in the hero title.
  • Dark: lighter reds (#f06470, #f4858f) for links on the dark background.
  • Every link and brand-button text pairing meets WCAG AA (4.5:1) in both themes.
  • In dark mode the theme's default button hover and press backgrounds are brand-2 and brand-1. Those are light enough for links but too light behind white text (the old purple had the same issue), so both are set explicitly.

The site builds locally. I haven't checked it in a browser, so it's worth looking at the PR's Pages deploy preview, or running bundle exec jekyll serve in docs/.

The docs now show the activerecord-hackery organisation's avatar in place
of the purple R, in the navbar, as the favicon (the theme reuses the navbar
logo) and as the home page hero. The R logo files, now unused, are removed,
as is the logo credit on the community page.

The brand colours move from the R's blues to the logo's reds: the Rails
crimson, its dark maroon and the axe head's red. Every link and brand-button
text pairing meets WCAG AA (4.5:1). In dark mode the theme's default button
hover and press backgrounds are brand-2 and brand-1, which are light enough
for links but too light behind white text, so those two are set explicitly.

It was the green Docusaurus dinosaur, left over from before the move to
Just the Docs. Nothing links to it; the theme uses the navbar logo as the
favicon.
