docs(user): dashboard, browsing, profile rewrites + new podcasts guide; trash stubs

Ground-truthed against the templates this pass:
- dashboard.md: real section kinds (system shelves incl. Continue
  Series, user collections, custom sections via /custom-section
  builder), Customize Dashboard panel semantics (per-library, drag,
  switches, 10-50 items, Save Changes), Refresh, This Week widget,
  per-item Read/Listen and progress-conflict resolve actions. The old
  page listed a wrong shelf set and never mentioned custom sections.
- library-browsing.md: the file was secretly titled 'Saving Custom
  Filters' and covered nothing else. Now the browsing page: All Books
  toolbar (search, Sort, Filters -> drawer hand-off, Save/Load/Clear
  saved filters), book detail as hub, series pages, podcasts split.
- profile-guide.md: field table ground-truthed from profile_form.templ
  (username/email DO remain editable there), audio defaults (speed,
  resume rewind, keep awake), timezone rendering contract, both theme
  doors (7-pick select vs 37-theme Appearance panel), Change Password
  with live checks, Danger Zone/Remove My Account + last-admin rule.
- podcasts.md NEW: the Podcasts page had zero documentation. Subscribing
  (Add Feed -> RSS URL, library, back-catalog download, download order,
  Add & Subscribe), Continue/All Feeds, Download All, player + Play as
  Sequence cross-link.
- Trashed user-areas.md, frontend-guide.md, settings-guide.md: stubs
  whose planned content now exists as real pages (or duplicates
  profile-guide). user-guide.md rewritten as the plain-language front
  door with a go-here-when table; index.md rows updated to match.
- ui-controls.md: 10 new gate-checked entries for every newly cited
  control (Add & Subscribe via templ-entity fragment).

# Profile Management Guide
# Your profile
## Updating Your Profile
Your profile page holds everything that is about *you* rather than your
books: account details, playback preferences, your password, and — if you
ever need it — account deletion.
Your profile contains your account information and preferences.
Open it from the sidebar: click your **username** at the bottom, then
**Profile**.
### How to Update
## Account information
1. Click on your **username** at the bottom of the sidebar to expand the account menu
2. Select **Profile**
3. Edit any fields in the "Account Information" section
4. Click **Save Changes**
5. Changes take effect immediately
| Field | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Username** | Your login name — must stay unique |
| **Email Address** | Must stay unique |
| **First Name / Last Name** | Optional display names |
| **Theme** | A quick theme picker (seven favorites — see below for the full set) |
| **Default Playback Speed** | The speed audiobook playback starts at |
| **Resume Rewind** | Jumps back a few seconds when you resume playback (**Off (exact resume)**, 5, or 10 seconds) |
| **Keep Screen Awake** | Stops the screen sleeping during playback |
| **Timezone** | All times the server shows you (activity, stats, history) are rendered in this zone |
### Fields You Can Update
Changes save from the form's save button and apply immediately.
- **Username** - Your login name (must be unique)
- **Email** - Your email address (must be unique)
- **First Name** - Optional display name
- **Last Name** - Optional display name
- **Theme** - Your preferred color scheme
About the two theme doors: the profile's **Theme** select offers seven
quick picks. The sidebar's **Appearance** panel offers the full collection —
[Themes and Wood Paneling](themes.md) covers it, including the bookshelf
wood textures, which are per-browser and not part of your account.
## Changing Your Password
## Changing your password
Regular password changes are recommended for account security.
On the same page, the **Change Password** section asks for your **Current
Password**, a **New Password**, and **Confirm New Password**. The
requirements are checked as you type; click **Update Password** to save.
### How to Change
## Deleting your account
1. Go to **Profile** page
2. Scroll to "Change Password" section
3. Enter your **current password**
4. Enter your **new password**
5. **Confirm** your new password
6. Click **Update Password**
The **Danger Zone** at the bottom holds **Remove My Account**. Deletion
removes your account and everything personal to it — profile, reading
progress and history, device registrations, your collections — and keeps the
libraries themselves, since books belong to the library, not to you. It
cannot be undone.
### Password Requirements
The last administrator cannot delete their own account — one admin must
always remain.
- Minimum 8 characters
- Must contain uppercase, lowercase, number, and special character
- Must match confirmation field
- Current password must be correct
## Deleting Your Account
**⚠️ WARNING:** This action cannot be undone.
### What Gets Deleted
When you delete your account:
- Your profile information
- Reading progress and history
- Device connections
- Collection preferences
- All personal data
### What Stays
- Library books (media belongs to the library, not you)
- System settings
- Other users' accounts
### How to Delete
1. Go to **Profile** page
2. Scroll to "Danger Zone" (bottom of page)
3. Click **Remove My Account**
4. Confirm the deletion prompt
**Note:** If you're the last admin, you cannot delete your account for security reasons.
## Theme Options
Personalize your reading experience with different color themes.
### Quick Theme Switch
1. In the sidebar, open the **Appearance** panel (palette icon, near the bottom)
2. Select a theme from the list; your active theme is marked with a checkmark
3. Changes apply instantly
For the full theme list and bookshelf background (wood) options, see [Themes and Wood Paneling](themes.md).
### Available Themes
- **Tokyo Night** (default) - Blue/purple accents
- **Dracula** - Purple/pink tones
- **Nord** - Arctic, bluish-gray
- **Solarized Dark** - Warm, precise contrast
- **Monokai** - Classic vibrant colors
- **One Dark Pro** - Atom editor inspired
- **Material Dark** - Google Material Design
- **Catppuccin Mocha / Macchiato / Frappé / Latte** - Soothing pastel palettes (Latte is light)
## For Admin Users
If you're an administrator, you can also manage other users' profiles from the admin panel.
See [Admin User Management](admin-guide.md) for details.
Administrators can also edit other users' profiles (including resetting a
password without the current one) from the admin area; that is covered with
the rest of the admin docs.
