@diberry

Summary

Implement remaining P0/P1 documentation improvements from the new-user experience audit.

Changes

  • New: five-minute-start.md — 5-minute quickstart for absolute beginners
  • New: architecture.md — Architecture overview with component explanation
  • New: choosing-your-path.md — CLI vs SDK vs Copilot decision guide
  • New: glossary.md — Key terms and definitions
  • Update: troubleshooting.md — Add common errors table
  • Update: first-session.md — Define jargon on first use (spawn, coordinator, Scribe, Ralph)
  • Update: navigation.ts — Add new pages to sidebar

Context

Based on new-user experience audit. PRs #286 (validation steps) and #292 (doc-impact review) already merged. Installation decision tree and .squad explainer already present. This PR covers remaining gaps.

    Triage by PAO

    PR #303 ("Docs update: comprehensive new-user experience improvements") is ready for merge but has merge conflicts that need rebase.

    Current state:

    • ✅ Tests passing (Squad CI: SUCCESS)
    • ✅ All 7 pages written per new-user audit (quick-start, architecture, path-selector, glossary, troubleshooting refresh, first-session jargon defs, nav updates)
    • ✅ Content reviewed by PAO (Microsoft Style Guide compliant)
    • ❌ Branch is out of sync (mergeStateStatus: DIRTY)

    Next step: Rebase PR #303 on main and the merge will go through. This is P0 documentation work — unblocks #301 once rebased.
