Subject: [PATCH] fix: sidebar collapses to first section folder on
 single-content-dir sites

entry-server pre-scoped the page tree to the active content dir before
embedding it, but DocsLayout applies filterPageTreeByContentDir again
during both SSR and client rendering. On sites with a single content
entry the second pass matched the first section folder (all its URLs
are under the content prefix) and unwrapped it, so the sidebar showed
only that folder's children and dropped every other page.

Embed the version-filtered tree instead and leave content-dir scoping
to DocsLayout, which is the single place that does it for SSR and
client alike.

Verified against raystack/meteor docs (35-extractor sidebar): before,
the sidebar rendered only the 7 Concepts pages; after, all 73 pages
render in their sections.
