Frank 90c4ac69a7 Doc audit: fix all broken links + correct stale facts across the KB
Fanned out 5 read-only doc-auditor subagents (one per service group) that
fact-checked the knowledge base against the live system + repo config,
researched official setup docs online, and verified progress. Applied:
- All 34 broken links fixed (real pages / external URLs / correct relative
  paths); 0 broken links remain. No .AGENTTRASH links (the 4 mentions are
  accurate descriptive text, not links).
- Fact-check fixes: Readarr retired (May 2026), Radarr v4->v6, Calibre
  9.2.1 live, Calibre-Web 0.6.25 live, Copyparty v1.20.21, LLM index
  ncmoe 38 + 786432 ctx, frank-default-small active (not frank-pp-worker),
  Hermes/SearXNG/Grafana hostnames, Loki/Alloy local images, Observability
  diagram (Promtail->Alloy), VLLM retired note, DFlash status, benchmark
  live-drift notes, Homepage test count 116.

# Readarr
> **RETIRED (May 2026).** The Servarr Team retired Readarr: its metadata became unusable and the community migration to Open Library stalled. There is no upstream development. Alternatives: the Bookshelf community fork, or the Calibre content server. See [Readarr (Retired)](https://wiki.servarr.com/readarr).
Readarr manages ebooks and audiobooks in the *arr stack on Dankserver. It automatically searches, downloads, and organizes books into the Calibre library.
**Host:** Dankserver — **Hostname:** `readarr.dankserver.local` — **Docs:** https://wiki.servarr.com/readarr

## Docker Compose
```yaml
readarr:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/readarr:latest
container_name: readarr
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=America/New_York
- UMASK_SET=022
volumes:
- /opt/readarr/config:/config
- /mnt/media/books:/books
- /mnt/media/downloads:/downloads
ports:
- "8787:8787"
networks: [appnet]
```
## Configuration
1. Add Prowlarr as the indexer source (torrent indexers with book content).
2. Add qBittorrent as the download client with the `books` category.
3. Set author profile (format preference: epub, mobi, etc.).
4. Set quality profile for audiobooks (320 kbps MP3, 128 kbps, lossless).
5. Set root folder to `/books`.
6. Add authors and verify downloads.
## Gotchas
- Readarr is in development (~v0.2.x). Some features may be incomplete.
- Calibre integration is folder-based, not API-based. Readarr drops files into `/books` which Calibre-Web serves.
- Not all indexers have all formats (epub, mobi, pdf). Goodreads/StoryGraph metadata helps match editions.
