Customizable Right Side Panel: Feedback Placement

[HadesArchitect]

Problem

The feedback buttons (thumbs up/down) are placed at the bottom of the page. For longer pages, many readers never scroll far enough to see them, which likely means we are collecting far less feedback than could be.

See example: Supabase docs have feedback on the right side, always visible.

Proposal

Allow configuring feedback buttons (the "Was this page helpful?" thumbs up/down) to appear in the right side panel — sticky or at the top — so they're always visible regardless of scroll position.

This could be a global setting in docs.json like:

"feedback": {
  "position": "side-panel"  // vs default "bottom"
}

Why this matters

Better feedback collection Visible feedback buttons = more responses = better signal on which pages need improvement.
