Gabriel Radureau 7bf83e75ed docs(vibe): add erp/ guidebook (Dolibarr deployment + backup/recovery + ops)

Dedicated tree-docs guidebook under vibe/guidebooks/erp/ for the lab's most
data-critical app, cross-linked from the applications hub (bidirectional):

- README.md             : Dolibarr 22.0.4 on Postgres; data-criticality; overview
  diagram; the Vault-unseal-before-scale recovery ordering (CAUTION).
- deployment.md         : upstream image + custom entrypoint (MySQL->psql), the
  50Gi Longhorn RWX documents PVC, Vault CRDs + the shared app_roles iac, init
  scripts (conf.php creds, table-ownership), ingress, CI.
- backup-and-recovery.md: the Ansible CronJob pg_dump (daily 04:00, 15-day
  retention) + restore Job (scale-0 -> restore -> scale-1); the cluster recovery
  ordering (Longhorn -> Vault unseal -> erp scale-up).
- operations.md         : the read-only bin/arcodange CLI, static/company.json,
  Deno+Playwright tests, day-2 ops.

erp code via full gitea URLs; CLUSTER_RECOVERY.md by name; 2 mermaid diagrams
MCP-validated; zero dead links.

What a guidebook is

A guidebook is a tree-doc reference map of the lab: a navigable set of linked Markdown pages (a root index, per-folder README hubs, and leaf pages wired with breadcrumbs and bidirectional cross-references) whose job is to describe how the system is actually wired right now — components, the conventions that join them, and the data/control flows between them.

Guidebooks are descriptive maps, not procedures. They answer "how does this fit together?" For "how do I execute X step by step?" see the runbooks. For "why was it built this way?" see the architecture decision records under doc/adr.

    SYS["Lab system<br>(factory + tools + cms)"]:::src --> GB["Guidebook<br>(tree-doc reference map)"]:::proc --> READER["Reader<br>(human or agent)<br>understands the wiring"]:::store

The lab system spans three repos — factory, tools, and cms — joined by the <app> naming convention.
A guidebook surveys that system and renders it as a tree-doc reference map: indexed folders, breadcrumb-linked leaves, Mermaid flow diagrams.
A reader (a human onboarding, or an agent planning a change) consumes the guidebook to understand how the pieces wire together before touching anything.

Key maintenance rule

Important

If a component documented in a guidebook is altered, the guidebook page describing it MUST be updated in the same change. A reference map that drifts from reality is worse than no map — it sends readers (and agents) confidently down dead paths. Treat the guidebook edit as part of the diff, not a follow-up: the PR that changes the component is the PR that updates its guidebook page.

Index

Guidebook	What it maps	Status
Lab ecosystem	End-to-end map of `factory` + `tools` + `cms`: repos, the `<app>` join key, secrets via Vault, CI/CD, ArgoCD, and the data/control flows that connect them	✅ Active
Factory provisioning	Deep dive into how factory provisions everything: Ansible playbooks + roles and OpenTofu	✅ Active
Tools	Deep dive into the lab platform services in the `tools` namespace (Vault+VSO, Prometheus, Grafana, CrowdSec, poolers, Redis, Plausible, ClickHouse)	✅ Active
CMS	Deep dive into the public Nuxt site arcodange.fr + its Cloudflare DNS/tunnel/Turnstile and Zoho email IaC	✅ Active
Applications	The deployed apps and the common pattern they share — webapp (Go + Postgres) and url-shortener (Rust + SQLite); erp has its own guidebook	✅ Active
ERP	The lab’s Dolibarr ERP — its deployment on Postgres, its document storage + backup/restore, and the read-only ops CLI (the most data-critical app)	✅ Active

Rules to contribute

Use the tree-docs skill. Guidebooks are tree-docs: author and grow them with the skill so breadcrumbs, hubs, and cross-links stay consistent.
Breadcrumb spine on every file. The first line of each page is its breadcrumb trail: ancestors are relative links, the current page is the bold-unlinked last item, separator is > (space-gt-space).
README hub per subfolder. Every folder carries a README.md index hub: a table of its children (link + one-line summary + status), sorted by importance/sequence, never alphabetically.
Bidirectional links. When page A references page B as related, page B references A back. Use descriptive link text — never "here" or "this".
Mermaid preferences. Begin each diagram with a %%{init: {'theme': 'base'}}%% directive, define a classDef palette legible on both light and dark backgrounds (dark fills, light text), use HTML <br> for line breaks, and follow every diagram immediately with a numbered ordered list restating the same flow in words.
Status legend. ✅ done · 🟡 beta · 🔴 critical · ⚠️ known issue · ❌ disabled · ⬜ not started.
Honour the maintenance rule above — update the relevant guidebook page in the same change that alters the component it documents.
