Frank 5829a0bfe8 docs: rename docs/ -> serverAppConfigs-docs/ per system-wide PROJECTNAME-docs convention
All in-repo path references (AGENTS.md, README, old scripts, report artifacts,
test code paths) rewritten in the same commit; focused-test map extended for
.gitignore, old/scripts/*, dankclaw/comfyui/*, and report/* per this repo's
own convention ('add one before committing'). Obsidian wikilinks are
title-based and unaffected.

  • Ensure umask is set to 022 so downloaded files are readable by arr apps.
  • Monitor bandwidth limits to avoid saturating the network.
