FASTAPI STRIPS CONFERENCE BLOAT, SHIPS MOBILE-FIRST REDESIGN

FastAPI's documentation site is getting lighter and faster, with deprecated conference assets stripped and mobile responsiveness rebuilt from scratch.

The FastAPI team is methodically cleaning house. Alejandra shipped a PR that removes the old conference configuration section [1], followed by cleanup work stripping unused image assets [2]. These aren't cosmetic changes. The conference rail redesign [3] brings mobile responsiveness into focus, suggesting the docs team is optimizing the site for the phones developers actually use. Related fixes [4] clean up unnecessary assets left behind after the main refactor. Across 6 commits and 3 PRs this cycle, the focus is narrow and purposeful: documentation UX matters, and dead code doesn't.
