zk e363bd2532 docs: migrate from mkdocs to mdbook (#1558)
* docs: migrate from mkdocs to mdbook

- Rename old mkdocs docs/ to old-docs/ for reference
- Set up new docs/ with mdbook (book.toml + src/ tree)
- Mirror full nav structure from mkdocs.yml into SUMMARY.md
- Add Justfile-docs with docs-serve, docs-build, docs-check, docs-install recipes
- Import Justfile-docs from root Justfile
- Rewrite .github/workflows/docs.yml: build step uses taiki-e/install-action
  to install mdbook, split into separate build + deploy jobs, PR builds
  run the check step too

* ci(docs): pin actions to SHAs, install mdbook via release binary

* ci(docs): install mdbook from apt instead of curling a release binary

* dev: replace mkdocs python stack with mdbook in dev image

* ci(docs): apt only works on Debian; restore release binary install for Ubuntu CI

* docs: fix duplicate file entries in SUMMARY.md

* docs: remove docs-install recipe

* docs: remove site-url from book.toml to fix asset loading

* dev: install mdbook from upstream release binary, not Debian apt

The Debian package (0.4.x+ds) strips bundled font assets, leaving the
built site without fonts/fonts.css. Use the upstream tarball (same as CI)
so the theme is complete. Handles x86_64 and aarch64.

* docs: vendor mdbook tarballs in dev/mdbook/, install from there

Dockerfile.dev uses COPY + tar to install the right arch at build time.
CI extracts the x86_64 tarball directly from the checkout.
No network access required for either — and no stripped-fonts Debian package.

* fix: unwritten

# Client File Flow
While we have an [OAuth2 Flow](./oauth2.md), that requires another webserver.
What if you just want an API key to throw inside a config file? This is a
common use case.
For this, we have the Client File Flow. This flow is entirely done on our
site, and results in the user downloading a file, or copying a string.
## Outline
!!! note
This documentation uses `boku.tachi.ac` as the example site. You should
replace this with the instance of Tachi you're pointing against, if it
is different.
- You navigate the user to `https://boku.tachi.ac/client-file-flow/YOUR_CLIENT_ID`.
- They are asked if they want to create an API Key for your client.
- If they select yes, an API Key is created for your client, and depending on your client parameters, they get it.
## Download Format
When you create a Tachi API Client, you can select the `File Template` parameter. This will change the format of the key given to the user.
For example, Let's say you wanted the user to download a `.json` file with
your token.
You could set a template of something like:
```json
{
"tachi-api-token": "%%TACHI_KEY%%",
"someOtherField": "foo"
}
```
If the `File Template` is not set, it is just output normally, without any templating.
The first instance of `%%TACHI_KEY%%` will be replaced with the generated API key.
The other file parameter you control is the `File Name`. If this is set, the user will be presented with a button that will download the above content.
If it is not set, the contents of the template are shown in browser, and the user will have to copy-paste the API Key.
