john-okeefe 9a60196f1d docs(user): update dashboard and bookshelf instructions for sidebar UI
Dashboard:
- Customize Dashboard is opened from the icon button at the right end
  of the Library bar (next to Refresh), and requires a specific library
  selected rather than 'All Libraries'
- Library switching uses the Library dropdown in the bar below the top
  bar (includes 'All Libraries' with counts)
- Collection sections are shown/hidden from the Customize Dashboard
  toggles — the per-collection 'Show on Dashboard' setting is gone
- Mention the hover chevrons for scrolling carousels

Bookshelf:
- Saved filters: document the new toolbar buttons — Filters (opens the
  filter drawer with Apply Filters, Esc, and overlay-click close), Save,
  Load (Saved Filters dropdown with trash-icon delete), and Clear —
  replacing the emoji-labelled Save Filter / Saved Filters buttons
- Tag filtering: filters now live behind the Filters drawer on the All
  Books page

# Dashboard
The Bookhoard dashboard provides a Carousel-style horizontal carousel interface for browsing your book library.
## Sections
### Smart Sections
Smart sections are automatically generated based on your reading activity:
- **Continue Reading**: Books you're currently reading (progress between 0-100%)
- **In Progress**: Books you've started (progress > 0%)
- **Recently Added**: Newest items added to this library
- **Recently Read**: Books you've completed (100% progress)
- **Not Started**: Books you haven't read yet
### User Collections
Your collections appear as sections on the dashboard. To show or hide a collection's section:
1. Select the library in the **Library** bar
2. Click the **Customize Dashboard** icon button
3. Toggle the collection on or off
4. Click "Save Changes"
### Customizing Your Dashboard
1. In the **Library** bar below the top bar, select the library you want to customize (a specific library, not "All Libraries")
2. Click the **Customize Dashboard** icon button at the right end of the Library bar (next to Refresh)
3. **Drag sections** to reorder them
4. **Toggle visibility** with the switches
5. **Adjust items per section** (10-50 items)
6. Click "Save Changes"
Settings are saved per library.
### Library Switching
Use the **Library** dropdown in the bar below the top bar to switch between libraries (including "All Libraries"). Each library has its own dashboard settings.
### Keyboard Navigation
- **Tab**: Navigate between sections and books
- **Arrow Keys**: Scroll carousels horizontally
- **Enter**: Open selected book
Hovering a carousel shows chevron buttons on either side for scrolling.
### Touch Gestures (Mobile)
