Erich Blume 278f231563 Switch to title-based wiki-links (Quartz resolves via frontmatter title and aliases)
- Remove aliases from all zk cards to prevent them from capturing wiki-links
- Convert all wiki-links from [[filename|Title]] to [[Title]] format
- Replace doc-filenames task with doc-titles for duplicate detection
- Update pre-commit hook to use doc-titles

Wiki-links now resolve to reference docs by their frontmatter title,
which is more readable and maintainable than filename-based links.
