Splits usage.md's three operating modes into their own guides, moves shared operational topics into a new Administration nav section, and converts the Using ColdFront and Architecture Guides sections to real index.md pages so their nav headers open directly without a duplicate child link.

…d index.md Moves the Least-Privilege Application Roles content into a new Connecting to ColdFront guide, renames and restructures the Getting Started walkthrough into Exploring ColdFront - Getting Started, folds the Caveats pointer into a new Resources/Exploring ColdFront with Walkthroughs section on the landing page, and polishes wording across installation.md, configuration.md, and one_time_setup.md.
- Rename the distributed setup page to Configuring a Distributed Deployment and move it under Configuring ColdFront. - Fold reading_writing.md into other pages and remove it. - Rework supported_types.md and rename it Supported Column Types. - Move the build step into the compaction intro and drop the Usage, Requirements, and Next Steps headings. - Bring the README table of contents and documentation table in line with the nav.

Wow, that's a lot of work! I think it looks good.
Carry main's docs changes into the reorganized pages and apply the review suggestions: - supported_types.md: a cold-tier write that reads a PostgreSQL table stores a numeric NaN as 0 and an array renumbered from 1; add the query that checks a source table, and fix "is rejected" to "are". - caveats.md and README.md: add the matching caveat, linked to Supported Column Types instead of the removed usage.md. - architecture_decoupled.md: list every write that reads a PostgreSQL table through pglocal. - usage_partitioner.md: registration refuses a column that is not the partition key. - object_store.md: ADLS Gen2 needs hierarchical namespace. - Keep usage.md deleted; drop the caveat paragraph that the merge placed in index.md, since caveats.md now carries it.
Point the remaining mentions of the removed usage.md and architecture.md at the pages that now hold that content, and rebuild the docs/ section of the README project tree from the current file list.
…extension name - index.md: list standalone partitioned mode as the third operating mode, say how each table gets its mode, move the SQL statements into the opening paragraph, and link the Lamport and Ricart-Agrawala algorithms. - Write the extension name as `coldfront` wherever prose names the coldfront extension.

Enable the local-store profile for the local emulator.
docker compose up -d --build does not start the profile-gated seaweedfs service. The local S3 walkthrough can therefore have no endpoint. Either enable the profile or state that the default command does not start SeaweedFS.
