Erich Blume 3da455e49c Enforce unique doc filenames and simple wiki-links (#109)
## Summary
- Rename section index files to match their titles (tutorials.md, reference.md, how-to.md, explanation.md) so all filenames are unique
- Convert all ~47 path-based wiki-links to simple filename format across 15 files
- Update doc-filenames task to no longer skip index.md files
- Update doc-links task to reject path-based links containing '/'

This ensures all wiki-links work correctly in obsidian.nvim by making links resolvable by filename alone.

## Testing
- `mise run doc-filenames` - all unique
- `mise run doc-links` - no broken or path-based links
- `mise run doc-titles` - no duplicates

Exploring the Documentation

Audiences: All (Owner, AI, Reader, Contributor, Replicator)

This guide explains how the BlumeOps documentation is organized and how to find what you need.

Documentation Structure

The docs follow the Diataxis framework:

Section Purpose When to Use
**[[tutorials Tutorials]]** Learning-oriented
**[[reference Reference]]** Information-oriented
**[[how-to How-to]]** Task-oriented
**[[explanation Explanation]]** Understanding-oriented

Quick Paths by Audience

For Erich (Owner)

You probably want quick access to operational details:

  • how-to for common operations (deploy, troubleshoot, update ACLs)
  • reference has service URLs, commands, and config locations
  • ai-assistance-guide explains how to work effectively with Claude
  • Run mise run zk-docs to prime AI context with key documentation

For Claude/AI Agents

Context for effective assistance:

  • Read ai-assistance-guide for operational conventions
  • reference has the technical specifics you'll need
  • The repo's CLAUDE.md has critical rules (especially the kubectl context requirement)

For External Readers

Understanding what this is:

  • explanation covers the "why" behind design decisions
  • reference shows what's actually running
  • Browse service pages to see specific implementations

For Contributors

Getting started with changes:

For Replicators

Replicators are people who want to build their own similar homelab GitOps setup, using BlumeOps as inspiration.

  • replicating-blumeops provides the overview
  • explanation covers architecture and design rationale
  • The replication/ tutorials go deep on components
  • Reference pages show specific configuration choices

Documentation uses [[wiki-links]] for cross-references:

  • [[service-name]] links to a reference page
  • [[page|Display Text]] customizes the link text

When reading on the web (docs.ops.eblu.me), these render as clickable links. The backlinks panel shows what references each page.

Pre-commit hooks automatically validate that all wiki-links point to existing files and that link targets are unambiguous.

AI Context Priming

The zk-docs mise task concatenates key documentation files for AI context:

mise run zk-docs

This outputs the AI assistance guide, reference index, how-to index, architecture overview, and tutorials index - providing Claude with essential context for BlumeOps operations.
