Native Kobo sync is implemented server-side but not yet supported on real devices, so stop documenting it as a working feature. - Rewrite kobo-setup.md as a coming-soon stub: point users to KOReader (which runs on Kobo hardware) as the supported path today, and list what native sync will deliver when released - Add 'Coming Soon' status banners to the Kobo protocol spec, all five Kobo endpoint docs, and both API references, noting the endpoints are under active development and may change - Tag the device shelf endpoints as pending native Kobo support
