docs: retire the /User-Guide_Armbian-Software/ URLs - #1202
Conversation
The daily configng sync kept rewriting docs/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/: 16 category hub pages on the old long URLs, plus Software.md — a 3600-line dump of every app on one page that nothing in the nav, the redirects or any other page linked to, reachable only by guessing the URL. Move the hubs next to the app pages they list (WebHosting.md -> software/web-hosting.md, so /software/web-hosting/), drop the dump, and redirect every old URL — the hubs to their new page, Software.md to the software overview. App pages' category back-links now point at the new hub URLs. The sync workflow no longer copies configng's legacy docs/Software/ tree; armbian/configng writes the hubs into docs/software/ with `hub: true` in their front-matter, and build-software-nav.py keys off that to regenerate the not_in_nav list that keeps hubs out of the left nav without warnings. serve-docs-local.sh mirrors the workflow again (it was still staging the pre-/config/ layout). Needs armbian/configng#1020 merged first. Signed-off-by: Igor Pecovnik <igor@armbian.com>

Preserve the hand-maintained docs/software/index.md.
stage_clean removes the entire docs/software directory, but the staging command excludes index.md because it is hand-maintained. This deletes the overview page and any local edits to it. Clean only generated entries, or preserve index.md before removing the directory.

Companion to armbian/configng#1020 — merge that one first.
docs/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/was the last old-style folder still being rewritten by the daily configng sync: 16 category hub pages on the long URLs, plusSoftware.md, a 3600-line dump of every app on one page that nothing in the nav, the redirects or any other page linked to — reachable only by guessing the URL. That is what put a 54-line diff into #1201.User-Guide_Armbian-Software/WebHosting.md→docs/software/web-hosting.md, published at/software/web-hosting/. Content is unchanged (git sees them as renames); onlyhub: trueis added to the front-matter by the generator.Software.mdis deleted.User-Guide_Armbian-Software/Software.md→software/index.md, alongside the existing overview/Desktops/Music entries.docs/Software/tree; it syncsdocs/software/only.build-software-nav.pynow also regenerates thenot_in_navlist (between# BEGIN/END software-hubsmarkers) from the pages markedhub: true, so hubs stay out of the left nav without warning undermkdocs build --strict. Nav output is unchanged and idempotent.serve-docs-local.shmirrors the workflow again — it was still staging the pre-/config/layout intodocs/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/.Checked locally: all 67 redirect targets exist, no redirect source still exists as a page, every nav entry resolves, no app page is missing from the nav and no hub is in it.
mkdocs builditself was not run here (no mkdocs in this environment) — the docs preview job on this PR covers it.Documentation website preview will be available shortly:
