The sidebar sponsors section is getting crowded: three card-style slots already push the docs table of contents around, and there is no room for the sponsors we would like to add next.

This adds a Sidebar sponsors section to the internal design-system page with five denser layout candidates, rendered at sidebar width next to the current layout for comparison. Extra slots are filled with sponsors from the landing page, picked for their variety of logo styles and aspect ratios (wide wordmark, icon lockup, circular and square avatars).

The candidates:

  1. Tiered rows — featured card on top, compact rows with taglines below
  2. Mini tiles — wordmark banner + 2-column grid of logo & name tiles
  3. Logo box — logos only in a single box, names & taglines on hover
  4. Logo cloud — borderless inline lockups, most compact
  5. Spotlight — CSS-only rotating featured card + logo strip

One finding from the dark-mode pass: logos drawn on dark circles (Sentry, Upstash) nearly vanish on the dark background once grayscaled, so whichever layout wins may need per-sponsor light variants.

Along the way, sponsors.tsx lost some duplication: the Next.js Weekly wordmark and shadcn/studio icon are now standalone components, and SPONSORS is exported so the lab can reuse the landing-page data.

The sidebar sponsors aside only fits three card-style slots before
pushing content below the fold. Five denser layout candidates on the
internal design-system page help pick a replacement, previewed with
extra sponsors of various logo styles and aspect ratios.

Review flight suggested passing logos as components instead of
render-prop arrows, deduplicating new-tab link attributes, and
dropping per-variant comments that duplicated the rendered captions.
