Erich Blume c130f72204 Update all docs titles to human-readable and delete test cards
Titles now use proper casing (e.g. "Borgmatic" instead of "borgmatic",
"AI Assistance Guide" instead of "ai-assistance-guide") and match file
stems so wiki-links work without alternate anchor text. Also removes
the title-test-alpha/beta cards and their reference index entry.

## What Gets Backed Up
### Directories
| Path | Description | Priority |
|------|-------------|----------|

## Sifaka-Native Data
Some data lives directly on [[sifaka]] rather than being backed up to it (photos via [[immich]], music via [[navidrome]], video via [[jellyfin]]). See [[sifaka]] for data protection details.
## What Is NOT Backed Up
| Data | Reason |
|------|--------|
| ZIM archives (`~/transmission/`) | Re-downloadable via torrent |

| Monthly | 12 backups |
| Yearly | 1000 backups |
