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.

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).

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

Configuration

Add Prowlarr as the indexer source (torrent indexers with book content).
Add qBittorrent as the download client with the books category.
Set author profile (format preference: epub, mobi, etc.).
Set quality profile for audiobooks (320 kbps MP3, 128 kbps, lossless).
Set root folder to /books.
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.
