Erich Blume c7a51ae253 Reject wiki-links with spaces and fix existing ones
Update doc-links task to detect and reject wiki-links that have spaces
in the target or around the pipe separator. Fix all 60 existing links
that had spaces (e.g., [[target | Text]] → [[target|Text]]).

This ensures compatibility with obsidian.nvim which doesn't handle
spaced wiki-links correctly.

Storage NFS PVC from [[sifaka

Storage Layout

NFS share on sifaka (/volume1/torrents):

Path Purpose
/downloads/ Active downloads and metadata
/downloads/complete/ Completed downloads
/config/ Transmission configuration
/watch/ Watch directory for .torrent files

kiwix reads from /downloads/complete/ to serve ZIM archives.

Integration with Kiwix

The Kiwix deployment includes a torrent-sync sidecar that:

  1. Reads ZIM torrent list from ConfigMap
  2. Adds missing torrents via RPC
  3. Runs on startup and every 30 minutes

When downloads complete, the zim-watcher CronJob detects new ZIMs and restarts Kiwix.

Monitoring

Basic uptime via blackbox probe in alloy k8s (Services Health dashboard).

Web UI shows: active/seeding/paused counts, speeds, disk usage.
