This adds docFx code doc generation support, adds a new "Linux Release" configuration which does not build the NitroxLauncher project, and clears out some excessive error spam caused by NitroxAnalyzer not running.

I think this PR should be draft until we know how to integrate it with the documentation repository. Right now, there's almost no team-wide knowledge, afaik, on how to maintain/use/host docfx or if this is even a useful step towards the overall "documentation" goal.

Questions we need to answer are:

  • Do we need another tool for docs? Why docfx? What does it do that docusaurus can't?
  • Can we export docfx for our docusaurus docs.
  • Instructions on how to export/how to keep the documentations in sync with our code.
  • Are we gonna use github actions to do it automatically to improve maintainability?

Questions we need to answer are:

  • Do we need another tool for docs? Why docfx? What does it do that docusaurus can't?

DocFx can generate code docs from C# XML comments as opposed to Docusaurus which as far as I can tell from the limited browsing of its site, only appears to support manually written documentation

  • Can we export docfx for our docusaurus docs.

Yes we can, Here is a tool that does exactly that

  • Instructions on how to export/how to keep the documentations in sync with our code.

DocFx does not currently run automatically when the project is built, the documentation for docfx itself lies here

  • Are we gonna use github actions to do it automatically to improve maintainability?

We don't strictly have to use github Actions as unfortunately it does require compiling Nitrox itself which in turn requires Subnautica.
