docs: move prose documentation into docs/ so the docs site publishes it
The docs-site build syncs this repo's README.md and docs/ into the site
tree; nothing else is copied. All prose apart from the README therefore lived
outside the sync and never appeared on https://docs.lyrapup.pet/nixfiles/, and
the one page that did publish carried 18 link targets that resolved to nothing.

Moves:

  home/README.md           -> docs/shell.md
  home/KEYBINDINGS.md      -> docs/keybindings.md
  hosts/<Name>/README.md   -> docs/hosts/<name>.md

docs/.pages and docs/hosts/.pages give the awesome-pages plugin an explicit
order; new pages are picked up by the trailing '...' without an edit.

Links are rewritten so a single URL is correct in both Gitea and the published
site: absolute Gitea source URLs for .nix files and directories, relative links
between pages under docs/, and absolute docs.lyrapup.pet URLs from the root
README, which the build republishes at a different depth from the rest of the
tree. In-code comments that pointed at a moved README are updated to the new
path.

The README gains a Documentation section covering the sync contract and the
linking rules, and CLAUDE.md carries the short version so future edits do not
reintroduce unsynced pages or dead links.

Verified by reproducing the docs-site assembly locally against its pinned
toolchain (mkdocs 1.6.1, mkdocs-material 9.7.7, awesome-pages 2.10.1): pages
render at the URLs used above and in the declared order.

# Working on this flake
Project notes for changes to this repository. Persona and memory rules live in
the user-global config; this file is about the flake's checks and conventions.
## Before you commit: run the formatter
Formatting and linting are driven by the flake. CI (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`)
runs `nix flake check`, which fails the build if any file is unformatted or trips
a lint. From the repo root:
- `nix fmt` — format the whole tree (writes changes).
- `nix flake check` — run every check read-only (what CI runs).
- `nix develop` — dev shell; its `shellHook` installs the git pre-commit hooks so
the same gates run on `git commit`.
Never commit with `--no-verify`. A bypassed commit ships unformatted content and
turns CI red on the next push to `main` (see "Docs are checked too").
## What gets checked
Defined in `flake.nix` (the `treefmt`, `pre-commit`, and `checks` blocks) and
`statix.toml`:
| Check | Tool | Covers |
| ------------ | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `formatting` | treefmt → `nixfmt` | all `*.nix` |
| `formatting` | treefmt → `shfmt` | shell scripts |
| `formatting` | treefmt → `prettier` | **Markdown, YAML, JSON** (incl. `README.md`, this file) |
| `deadnix` | deadnix | dead Nix bindings (`--no-lambda-pattern-names`) |
| `statix` | statix | Nix antipatterns (config in `statix.toml`) |
| pre-commit | nixfmt-rfc-style, deadnix, statix | the same gates, run on commit |
Excluded from formatting: `*/hardware-configuration.nix` (generated by
`nixos-generate-config`) and `flake.lock`. Editor defaults (indent, EOL, final
newline) are in `.editorconfig`; note Markdown keeps trailing whitespace, which
encodes hard line breaks.
## Docs are checked too
prettier formats `*.md`, so **documentation edits must be run through `nix fmt`**
exactly like code. prettier re-aligns Markdown tables in particular; hand-editing
a table almost always leaves it non-conformant and fails the `formatting` check.
Prose documentation lives in `docs/` and is **published** to
<https://docs.lyrapup.pet/nixfiles/> by the separate `docs-site` repo, which
clones this one at build time. Two consequences when editing docs:
- A markdown file outside `docs/` (other than the root `README.md`) is not
synced and will never appear on the site. Put new prose in `docs/`.
- Links must follow the rules in the README's "Documentation" section: absolute
Gitea URLs to source files, relative links between `docs/` pages, and
absolute `docs.lyrapup.pet` URLs from the root README into `docs/`. The site
builds non-strict, so a broken link is silent.
The CI `formatting` step runs on **every** PR — including docs- and config-only
changes — so a Markdown/YAML/JSON edit is format-checked before merge, not just
after it lands on `main`. (The heavier `deadnix`/`statix`/`pre-commit` lints and
the per-host evaluation still run only when a `.nix` file, `flake.lock`, or the
workflow changed; see `.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`.) Run `nix fmt` before you
commit and the formatting check stays green.
## Host evaluation
CI also evaluates every `nixosConfigurations` / `darwinConfigurations` host's
toplevel (eval only, no build) on an x86_64 runner, so eval errors fail cheaply.
Reproduce locally:
```sh
nix eval --raw ".#nixosConfigurations.<host>.config.system.build.toplevel.drvPath"
```
Host lists are discovered from the flake, so adding or removing a host needs no
change to the workflow.
