nvrl 9c30ff8276 docs: publish docs/ to the GitHub wiki and reorganise the user guide
- scripts/publish-wiki.sh publishes every page listed in SECTIONS, copies
  images, writes a sectioned sidebar and footer, and removes stale pages.
  --check fails on links to missing files or headings and on docs pages
  that are neither published nor excluded.
- New wiki.yml runs the check on pull requests and pushes to main, and
  publishes when release.yml calls it or when started by hand.
- Split USER_GUIDE.md into topic pages (files, synced folders, photos,
  sharing, computers, launcher and tray); add Getting started and FAQ.
- Make the COPR repository the main Fedora path, with update and
  uninstall steps for every package type.
- Fix the stale CAPTCHA note in CLI.md, document pdfs unlock and lock,
  and drop the broken AGENTS.md link from CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sharing

Share files and folders with other people, by invitation or with a public link, and use what others share with you.

Invite people

  1. Select a file or folder and choose Share….
  2. Enter one or more email addresses and choose Can view or Can edit.
  3. Send the invitation. People appear as members once they accept.

The admin role, which may also manage the share, is available from the command line (--role admin).

From a terminal:

pdfs share Documents/Plans alex@example.com --role editor
pdfs members Documents/Plans          # members, pending invitations and the public link

pdfs share-role changes someone's role, and pdfs unshare removes one person or stops sharing altogether. See the command-line reference.

In Share…, create a public link. Anyone with the link can open the item. You can protect the link with a password and let it expire on a date. From a terminal, use pdfs public-link create and pdfs public-link remove.

See what you share

Shared by me lists everything you share. Filter it by links, by people, or by expired links. Copy a link that is still valid, or stop several shares at once. pdfs shared prints the same list.

Shared with you

Shared with me lists what other people share with you, who shared it, and what you may do with it. The same items are in the Shared with me folder inside ~/ProtonDrive. Items where you are a viewer are read-only.

  • Invitations wait in a banner at the top of the page until you accept or reject them. From a terminal: pdfs invitations list, then accept ID or reject ID.
  • Saved public links have their own view. pdfs bookmarks manages them.
  • Leave… a share you no longer need, or run pdfs leave UID with the ID from pdfs shared-with-me.
