john-okeefe 8ca95db08a docs(user): update admin and collections instructions for sidebar UI
Admin:
- Admin pages live in the sidebar's Administration panel (Dashboard,
  Libraries, Hash Conflicts, Users, Settings)
- Library creation is the Create Library modal (Library Name,
  Description, Library Type); folders are added afterwards by expanding
  the library row and using the Folders section's path input + Browse +
  Add — the old Add Library modal with folder and 'Scan on save' fields
  no longer exists
- Scanning is via the Scanner API or watch mode (File Watcher status on
  the admin dashboard); remove references to the removed per-library
  Rescan button and 'Force Rescan' option

Collections:
- Fill in the empty creating/managing placeholders with the real flow:
  New Collection button, modal fields (name, description, icon grid,
  color swatches), per-collection edit/delete icon buttons, Restore
  System button, and dashboard-section visibility via Customize
  Dashboard

john-okeefe 2a7ac881fd docs(user): align sync and user guides with current device support
- sync-guide: only Web and KOReader are fully supported; move Kobo to
  coming soon, drop fake Q2-Q4 2026 release dates for mobile/Kindle/
  Remarkable, and describe the plugin + server-approval registration
  flow instead of QR-code/URL approval
- sync-guide: remove cellular/mobile-app advice from battery and
  best-practice sections, correct the Calibre compatibility FAQ, update
  the changelog to reflect shipped vs. pending sync features, and fix
  the license header (GPL-3.0, not MIT)
- user-guide: lead device setup with KOReader; mark the Kobo guide as
  coming soon
- calibre-integration: OPDS client list no longer implies native Kobo
  support
- auth overview: label the mobile-application token guidance as
  'coming later' since no mobile apps exist yet

This commit adds complete documentation for the planned Calibre
metadata.opf sidecar file support feature.

## New Documentation

### Implementation Planning
- CALIBRE_OPF_IMPLEMENTATION.md: Detailed implementation plan with
  requirements, architecture, database mapping, and step-by-step
  implementation guide for adding Calibre metadata.opf support

### Technical Documentation
- docs/development/calibre-opf-implementation.md: Technical implementation
  details including:
  - Scanner pipeline architecture with sidecar-first approach
  - Data structures (CalibreOPFMetadata, MediaMetadata)
  - Function signatures and logic for parseCalibreMetadataOPF()
  - Database schema mapping (no changes required)
  - Testing strategy (unit and integration tests)
  - Error handling and performance considerations
  - Code examples and benchmarking approach

### User Documentation
- docs/user/calibre-integration.md: Comprehensive user guide covering:
  - What is Calibre and how Bookhoard integrates with it
  - Automatic metadata import from metadata.opf sidecar files
  - Supported metadata fields (Dublin Core + Calibre-specific)
  - Setup instructions for Calibre libraries
  - Workflow examples (fresh library, mixed library, updating metadata)
  - Troubleshooting common issues
  - Best practices for Calibre + Bookhoard workflow
  - FAQ and resources

## Updated Documentation

- README.md: Added Calibre integration feature to media management section
- docs/user/user-guide.md: Added link to Calibre integration guide
- docs/developer/development.md: Added link to Calibre implementation guide

## Feature Summary

The Calibre integration feature will allow Bookhoard to automatically
import curated metadata from Calibre's metadata.opf sidecar files,
including titles, authors, series, tags, descriptions, publishers,
identifiers (ISBN/ASIN), and contributors. Uses sidecar-first approach:
metadata.opf → embedded metadata → folder structure → filename.

All database fields already exist; no schema changes required.
