Every docs page shipped <link rel=canonical href=https://sourcegraph.com/docs>, so search engines treat all 500+ pages as duplicates of the landing page. generateMetadata now sets alternates.canonical to the page's own path; metadataBase in layout.tsx resolves it to an absolute URL. Found by the docs site audit in https://ampcode.com/threads/T-01a0ae50-f7f0-779c-aa66-3887c9953e33 Amp-Thread-ID: https://ampcode.com/threads/T-01a0aed2-5fbe-7768-85ea-1378bf98f9ff Co-authored-by: Amp <amp@ampcode.com>

Problem
Every page on the docs site tells search engines it is a duplicate of the landing page
Google reads that as "index the landing page, ignore the rest", which hurts how individual docs pages rank, and makes it harder for agents to find our doc content
Solution
generateMetadatasetsalternates.canonicalto/docs${post.url}so each page gets indexedVerification
