john-okeefe 26f1f98736 docs(kobo): mark native Kobo sync as coming soon
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

Initialize Kobo device sync.
**Endpoint**: `GET /api/sync/kobo/v1/initialization`
**Auth**: Required (Device authentication)
## Device Authentication
This endpoint requires device authentication (not user JWT). Kobo devices authenticate using their device credentials and access tokens.
## Request Headers

| X-Device-ID | string | Yes | Device UUID |
| X-Device-Key | string | Yes | Device authentication key |
| X-Kobo-UserKey | string | No | Kobo user key (if available) |
### Example Request
```http
GET /api/sync/kobo/v1/initialization
X-Device-ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

## Error Responses
| Code | Description |

This endpoint is called by Kobo devices during initial setup and connection. It returns configuration data required for proper Kobo integration.
