Documentation tasks

• [x] Audit the README, setup tasks, runtime configuration, and existing reference docs.
• [x] Define scope, implementation plan, and verification strategy.
• [x] Simplify the README and preserve detailed runtime/packaging documentation.
• [x] Add the VitePress site and local Task workflows.
• [x] Verify a strict build, generated links/assets, and local preview.
• [x] Update the global checklist with the completed work and validation.
• [x] Add pull-request documentation checks and CI-gated main-branch Pages publishing using the cookiecutter-python example.
• [x] Verify publishing boundaries and built links/assets; document the Pages setup and site URL.
• [x] Replace user-facing Task setup with a verified GitHub uv tool install and camply serve; use direct Docker Compose commands and keep Task in contributor guides.
• [x] Bundle VitePress output in the frontend build via Node without separate Python dependencies.
• [x] Preserve complete wheel/sdist builds, archive validation, Docker inputs, and generator-free prepared-archive rebuilds.
• [x] Serve /docs/ in Python and Nginx, with a footer link and real documentation 404s.
• [x] Verify bundled pages/assets, deployment paths, footer navigation, and runtime dependency isolation.

Validation

• task docs:install and task docs:build succeed with only the docs dependency group.
• Generated-page audit verifies all seven pages, internal links and anchors, local assets, repository references, and HTTP preview routes.
• Browser checks verify desktop navigation, light/dark switching, search results, and mobile layout. Local screenshots are saved under ignored tmp/docs.
• uv lock --check, targeted Oxfmt checks, and git diff --check pass.
• task docs:check passes both publishing-boundary and rendered-site regression tests; Actionlint validates the modified workflows.
• Full local gates pass with Python 3.14 and Node 24: task lint, task check, and task test (15 release tests, 828 backend tests, 68 packaging tests, 339 frontend tests, and 10 Pages proxy tests; 23 opt-in backend smoke tests skipped).
• User-install follow-up: install from the public Git URL in an isolated uv tool directory with --with 'camply[server]' --python 3.14; verify the bundled UI, SQLite migrations, HTTP API, and CLI healthcheck. The updated strict docs build and link/publishing checks pass.
• Bundled-docs follow-up: task lint, task check, and task test pass, including 833 backend tests, 69 packaging tests, the footer component test, and real local Cloudflare Pages serving. A real Nginx process verifies the packaged templates' directory redirects, nested docs, search/assets, and missing-page 404s. Prepared wheels serve docs without Zensical installed; documentation tampering invalidates sdists.
• Cloudflare follow-up: a clean Python environment installs src/frontend/requirements.txt and builds the full frontend without uv on PATH. Pages uses its Python renderer directly; the renderer-version regression and strict docs checks pass.
