John O'Keefe 0d4698c0de docs(admin): admin-guide front door + Administration area in the portal
The tenth and final page: the section directory with one-line coverage
per page, the fresh-instance quick path (libraries -> scan -> Base URL
-> users -> devices), and the when-something-looks-wrong triage table
mapping symptoms to pages. The portal (index.md) gains a For
Administrators area listing all nine admin pages; the user guide's
'being expanded separately' line becomes the done-state sentence.
Every control name quoted here exists in the glossary.
