jubnl c1b9d11173 docs: add full wiki with 74 pages, assets, and CI workflow
Adds the complete TREK documentation wiki covering installation,
trip planning, admin panel, MCP/AI integration, addons, and operations.

Also fixes encrypt-at-rest gaps: mapbox_access_token, Synology
credentials, per-user webhook/ntfy tokens, and photo passphrases
are now rotated by migrate-encryption.ts and stored encrypted via
settingsService.

# Route Optimization
TREK calculates walking and driving times between your places and can reorder them to minimize total travel distance.
<!-- TODO: screenshot: optimized route displayed on map -->

## Route calculation
TREK uses **OSRM** (Open Source Routing Machine) to calculate routes between consecutive places in the selected day. No API key is required.
Segment time pills always show both a **driving** time (fetched from OSRM using the driving profile) and a **walking** time (estimated at 5 km/h from the OSRM driving distance). There is no user-selectable routing profile — the driving profile is used for all OSRM requests.
Route segments reset at any transport reservation (flight, train, car, bus, or cruise) between two places — that leg is not driven or walked, so no ground route is drawn across it.
## Route display
- Colored line segments connect consecutive places on the map.
- At zoom level 12 or higher, time pills show the estimated walking and driving time between each pair of consecutive places.
- When at least two places are on the selected day, total distance and duration are shown in the sidebar footer.
## Optimize route
The **Optimize** button in the sidebar footer reorders places in the current day to minimize total travel distance using a **nearest-neighbor algorithm**. It starts from the first place, then repeatedly visits the closest unvisited place by straight-line (Euclidean) distance.
Only unlocked places are reordered — locked places stay in their current positions.
The reorder can be undone immediately using the undo action that appears after it is applied.
## Route calculation on/off
Route calculation (segment time pills) can be toggled on or off per user in **Settings → Display**. When disabled, no OSRM requests are made and time pills are not shown.
## Export day to Google Maps
The **Open in Google Maps** button (icon next to Optimize) generates a `https://www.google.com/maps/dir/lat,lng/lat,lng/…` URL containing all places in order and opens it in a new tab.
> **Admin:** Route calculation can be disabled instance-wide via the admin settings.
