Make intersphinx references release-aware

[bdice]

Use the existing Sphinx version to point cuDF and RMM intersphinx references at immutable CalVer inventories.

xref rapidsai/build-planning#320

Depends on rapidsai/shared-workflows#625 to publish CalVer documentation before the final release tag.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated documentation links for cuDF and RMM to follow the cuML documentation version.
  • Documentation references now remain aligned with the version displayed for cuML, providing more consistent cross-project navigation.
  • Removed branch-based link resolution, so links no longer depend on RAPIDS branch information when selecting documentation targets.

Walkthrough

The Sphinx configuration removes RAPIDS branch-file detection and derived version settings. cuDF and RMM intersphinx URLs now use the cuML documentation version directly.

Changes

Documentation versioning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Direct intersphinx version configuration docs/source/conf.py	The cuDF and RMM intersphinx URLs use the cuML documentation version directly. The branch-derived configuration variables were removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 32264

Documentation builds may target incorrect or unpublished cuDF and RMM inventories, causing cross-project links to fail. Branch-aware inventory selection should be restored before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore branch-aware inventory selection before merge.

Lines [217] and [232] always interpolate version, which Line [89] derives from cuml.__version__. A main build therefore targets a numeric CalVer path instead of the required latest inventory. A release build also no longer uses the root-level RAPIDS_BRANCH value.

Select one shared documentation target: latest on main, and the CalVer value from RAPIDS_BRANCH on release branches. Use that target for both mappings. If the numeric inventory is not published, intersphinx resolution can fail.

As per path instructions, documentation changes must keep version numbers and terminology consistent with the code.

Also applies to: 232-232
