docs(dashboard): refactor to unified collections architecture

Browse Source

BREAKING CHANGES:
- Remove smart_section_types table entirely
- Use collections table for both system defaults and user sections
- Add user_id (nullable), query_type, priority, is_system_collection to collections
- Pre-seed 4 system collections (user_id = NULL): continue-reading, recently-added, recently-read, not-started

FEATURES:
- System collections are now editable by users
- Per-collection restore functionality (restore-system-collection endpoint)
- Single query type for all dashboard items (unified approach)

UPDATES:
- Database schema changes for collections table
- Service layer methods updated (RestoreSystemCollection instead of RestoreSystemCollections)
- API handler with per-collection restore endpoint
- Templates updated with collection terminology
- TypeScript types updated (8 fields instead of 11, type values: 'system'/'user')
- Field names updated: hidden_collections, collection_order
- All tests updated for new architecture

BENEFITS:
- Simpler data model (single table, single concept)
- System defaults use same code path as user collections
- Users can customize system collections
- Easy reset with per-collection restore buttons
