John O'Keefe 913174cdf8 docs(gates): widen relative-link checker to all docs, repair the rot it finds
TestDocsRelativeLinks walked only docs/developer; widening it to all of
docs/ immediately surfaced the same class of rot the gate was built
for, outside its old reach:

- docs/index.md was the old monolith's landing page: linked the deleted
  api-reference.md, 10 directory-style area links, and escaped the docs
  tree to README/AGENTS/.env/compose. Rewritten as a portal whose every
  link resolves, with one representative endpoint doc per API area and
  pointers to the new writing-ui-docs.md standard.
- directory-style links in user stubs (devices/, ../operations/)
- case-mismatched links (Development.md) in contributing.md
- monolith-era pointer (API_REFERENCE.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md) and
  escaped AGENTS.md links in contributing/development.md
- docs/development/calibre-opf-implementation.md double-up escapes, a
  link to the removed repo-root plan file (absorbed here), and a
  source-code hyperlink the docs site can't serve (now inline code)
- operations/operations.md linked three never-written guide pages as
  aspirational links - they stay plain text until pages exist

HANDS-OFF (project owner, 2026-11-02): docs/user/filters/** and
docs/user/searching-and-filtering.md are exempt as link sources so no
future checker failure can force edits to the filter documentation.
Files linking INTO them remain checked.

# Kobo Device Setup Guide
> ## 🚧 Coming Soon
>
> Native Kobo sync is not available yet. It is actively being developed and this guide will be filled in as the feature lands.
## Using a Kobo With Bookhoard Today
You don't have to wait: **KOReader runs on Kobo hardware** and syncs fully with Bookhoard today — reading position, bookmarks, highlights, and notes, plus OPDS wireless book delivery.
See the **[KOReader Setup Guide](koreader-setup.md)** for complete instructions.
## What's Planned for Native Kobo Sync
When released, native Kobo sync will let stock Kobo firmware talk directly to Bookhoard:
- **Reading position sync** — percentages, pages, and reading statistics
- **Bookmarks, highlights, and notes** — synced with the web and other devices
- **OPDS wireless delivery** — browse and download books directly on the Kobo
- **Automatic EPUB → KEPUB conversion** — for better Kobo rendering
- **Shelf mappings** — Bookhoard collections appearing as Kobo shelves
The server-side protocol endpoints are already implemented and under test; the feature will be announced when it's ready for real devices.
## FAQ
**Q: Should I buy a Kobo to use with Bookhoard today?**
A: Kobo devices work great with Bookhoard via KOReader. Native (stock firmware) sync is coming soon.
**Q: What happens to my KOReader setup when native sync arrives?**
A: Nothing — KOReader will keep working. Native sync simply adds another option for people who prefer stock Kobo firmware.
