John O'Keefe 25ef0d12ba docs(kobo,koreader,collections): Beam WO5 batch 6 — 12 endpoints
Kobo emulation + KOReader calibre-compatible surface backfilled with
device-token auth; collections reorder + update_rule created.

Claude registry: 12 entries. kobo/koreader emulation endpoints all bind
arbitrary protocol POST bodies (markup/bookmark/gettests/sync-from-server,
koreader progress/bookmarks) — registered as AnyJSONObject, not bodyless as
first drafted. Initialization returns the library sync payload, not the init
response.

Contract correction in update_rule.md: the route is SetRuleEnabled ({enabled}
required -> {collection_id, is_smart}); Beam's draft invented rule-field
updates. Reordered response/status: {item_ids} -> {status: reordered}.

make test 9/9.
