Erich Blume fb5684929b Convert wiki-link titles to lowercase slugs
- Convert all frontmatter titles to lowercase-hyphenated format
- Update all wiki-links to use the new slug format
- Update doc-titles task to validate slug format (lowercase, hyphens only)

Quartz appears to require titles without spaces for wiki-link resolution.

# Transmission
BitTorrent daemon, primarily for downloading ZIM archives for [[kiwix]].
## Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **URL** | https://torrent.ops.eblu.me |
| **Tailscale URL** | https://torrent.tail8d86e.ts.net |
| **Namespace** | `torrent` |
| **Image** | `lscr.io/linuxserver/transmission:latest` |
| **Storage** | NFS PVC from [[sifaka-nas|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 [[grafana-alloy|Alloy]] k8s (Services Health dashboard).
Web UI shows: active/seeding/paused counts, speeds, disk usage.
