Jason Woltje dd5b3117a7 docs: Restructure documentation with Bookstack-compatible hierarchy
- Organized docs into numbered shelf/book/chapter/page structure
- Created comprehensive README.md with project overview
- Added Getting Started book (quick start, installation, configuration)
- Added Development book (workflow, testing, type sharing)
- Added Architecture book (design principles, PDA-friendly patterns)
- Added API Reference book (conventions, authentication)
- Moved TYPE-SHARING.md to proper location
- Updated all cross-references in main README
- Created docs/README.md as master index
- Removed old QA automation reports
- Removed deprecated SETUP.md (content split into new structure)

Documentation structure follows Bookstack best practices:
- Numbered books: 1-getting-started, 2-development, 3-architecture, 4-api
- Numbered chapters and pages for ordering
- Clear hierarchy and navigation
- Cross-referenced throughout

Complete documentation available at: docs/README.md
