Product Documentation Refresh
Wiki manual chapters updated, both print PDFs re-rendered, verified, versioned, and published to the product docs folder
Inputs
What BOB Does
- obsidian-markdown → when chapters were added/removed/renumbered, update the manual index note, the print-source cover TOCs, and the `getting-started` chapter picks in `docs/manual-assembly.yaml`
- branded-pdf (assemble-source) → `--check` for staleness, then rebuild both print sources from the wiki chapters, bumping `--set-version manual=X.Y` / `--set-version getting-started=X.Y` for each changed document
- branded-pdf (cover-pdf) → render both print sources to /tmp proofs
- branded-pdf (cover-pdf) → verify proofs against the route's acceptance criteria: sane page count, cover + doc-info, running `Page X of Y` footers, no `missing embed` markers, spot-read the changed chapters
- Review the proofs — especially chapters touched in step 1 — and approve
- vault-release → publish approved proofs to `20-COMPANY/40-PRODUCTS/thirdbrain-bob/docs/` as `-v{RELEASE}.pdf` — the **vault release version they ship with**, not a per-document version — and delete superseded version PDFs (close open viewers first — drvfs locks)
