John O'Keefe 50282895f5 fix(docs): Work Order 2 — correct stale paths (11 docs + 3 Bruno)
Fix all wrong-path artifacts identified by the audit:
- Kobo sync endpoints (init/bookmark/markup/sync-from-server/analytics): add
  missing :token device segment (6 doc files incl. kobo-protocol.md)
- Highlights/notes update+delete: add missing /:id media-item prefix
- media-items/download_media_item.md: removed (static /uploads route, not an
  API endpoint; info about the file route is recoverable from OPDS docs)
- Bruno: /libraries/visible -> /visibility, /collections/books missing id,
  /audio/0 -> track_index
- operations/troubleshooting.md: same /libraries/visible -> /visibility fix
- media-items/get_audio_track.md + get_audio_chapters.md: /audio/0 examples fixed
- Deleted monolithic docs/developer/api-reference.md (duplicate of split docs)
- Fixed 4 stale entries in docs/developer/api/api-reference.md (split index)

Audit re-run: orphan docs 0, orphan Bruno 6 (all scenario files with literal IDs).

# Get Audio Track
Streams one playable track of a multi-file audiobook (folder-of-tracks
or zip-of-audio book). Track indexes and bounds come from the track
manifest on [Get Audio Chapters](get_audio_chapters.md).
**Endpoint**: `GET /api/media-items/{id}/audio/{trackIndex}`
**Auth**: Required (JWT — Bearer header or session cookie; the web
player's `<audio>` element authenticates by cookie)
## Serving
- **Folder books**: the track is served straight from its real file
(`http.ServeContent`) — full `Range` support.
- **Zip books**: the entry is extracted in place. Forward seeks discard
bytes in the open stream; backward seeks re-open the entry and skip
(deflate has no random access — cheap at audio bitrates). `Range`
requests are honored.
Single-file books have no track manifest — they stream through the
`/uploads` path exactly as before and this endpoint answers 404.
## Library visibility
The item's library must be visible to the requester; a hidden library
answers **403** on every track (same gate as the download endpoint).
## Error Responses
| Code | Description |
| ---- | -------------------------------------------- |
| 400 | Invalid media item id or track index |
| 401 | Missing/invalid token |
| 403 | Library not visible to the requester |
| 404 | Book/track not found, or single-file book |
| 500 | audio_metadata failed to parse |
## Example
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Range: bytes=0-1023" \
"http://localhost:8765/api/media-items/550e8400-.../audio/{track_index}"
```
