Add B248 to B252 to the bug ledger, the shared-device feature and schema 44 to the 3.5.0 changelog, and describe the join flow, per-machine profiles, conflict copy names and the mirror's multi-writer rules in the user guide, recovery guide, CLI and configuration references and the architecture notes.
