Description
What happened?
In the Javadoc, the left frame is no longer appearing on the left side of the screen. It's making Javadoc very difficult to use.
Frame in 2.66.0 https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/2.66.0/
No frame in 2.67.0 https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/2.67.0/

Thanks for reporting. It's due to #35551 changed Javadoc generation from using Java11 to Java21, which eliminated side frame due to https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8215599.
This functionality was added back in Java25 though: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8320458 so we'd need to bump javadoc generation to use Java25 if we want to bring it back.

I didn't do my research ahead of time on the "why" but I understand it now. If it is decided to proceed, obviously don't do it in an insecure manner. Thank you for the response.
