Erich Blume 060c7a24e3 Review exploring-the-docs and add doc consistency checks (#112) 
## Summary
- Reviewed and cleaned up exploring-the-docs tutorial: simplified wiki-links, fixed broken replication/ reference, added Related section, corrected zk-docs flags to match CLAUDE.md
- Added orphan detection to doc-links (finds docs not linked from any other doc)
- Added new doc tooling: `doc-index` (checks category index coverage), `doc-stale` (staleness report), `doc-tags` (tag inventory)
- Added `doc-index` as a pre-commit hook
- Updated use-pypi-proxy to document env-var-based proxy toggle for pip/uv
- Updated ai-assistance-guide with new doc task descriptions

## Test plan
- [ ] Run `mise run doc-links` — passes
- [ ] Run `mise run doc-index` — passes
- [ ] Run `mise run doc-stale` — informational output
- [ ] Run `mise run doc-tags` — informational output
- [ ] Pre-commit hooks pass

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 guides 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:

  • contributing walks through the workflow
  • how-to guides for specific tasks (deploy services, add roles)
  • 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, with linked tutorials that go deep on individual components
  • explanation covers architecture and design rationale
  • 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:

mise run zk-docs -- --style=header --color=never --decorations=always

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