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](https://diataxis.fr/) framework:
| Section | Purpose | When to Use |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| **[[tutorials|Tutorials]]** | Learning-oriented | "I'm new and want to understand" |
| **[[reference|Reference]]** | Information-oriented | "I need specific technical details" |
| **[[how-to|How-to]]** | Task-oriented | "I need to do X" |
| **[[explanation|Explanation]]** | Understanding-oriented | "I want to understand why" |
## Quick Paths by Audience
### For Erich (Owner)
You probably want quick access to operational details:
- [[how-to|How-to guides]] for common operations (deploy, troubleshoot, update ACLs)
- [[reference|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|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|Explanation]] covers the "why" behind design decisions
- [[reference|Reference]] shows what's actually running
- Browse service pages to see specific implementations
### For Contributors
Getting started with changes:
- [[contributing]] walks through the workflow
- [[how-to|How-to guides]] for specific tasks (deploy services, add roles)
- [[reference|Reference]] tells you where things live
### 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|Explanation]] covers architecture and design rationale
- The `replication/` tutorials go deep on components
- Reference pages show specific configuration choices
## Using Wiki Links
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:
```bash
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.
