Gabriel Brown 7578348db1 Merge Home & Phone into a three-tab Home that knows your house
Home is now Overview | My Home | Phone. Overview leads with quick-action
tiles (focus, Do Not Disturb, health, snapshots, storage), keeps the
findings card — updates fold in, the reclaim-space prompt is gone on
purpose — and adds glance cards, the next calendar event, and weather.

My Home groups every light by Home Assistant area: the helper gained an
`areas` command (one REST template render, no websocket), and the rooms
degrade to a flat list on setups without areas. The favorites editor and
connection card moved intact. Phone gains a vitals strip — battery and
cell signal read from KDE Connect's plugin D-Bus objects, where absence
is data, not an error — beside ring, clipboard, send-a-file, and the
BlueBubbles handoff.

The retired home-phone id resolves to my-home forever via a new alias
map in SettingsRoutes (with a hasOwnProperty guard so prototype names
cannot leak into settingsPage). Storage no longer claims 0 B free — the
old page read a field the disks helper never emitted.

Contracts updated alongside; per the new workflow, the full suite runs
once at the end of the redesign (see the test backlog note).

"""Generate the settings reference from PreferenceSchema.qml.
Every other form of documentation in this repository has drifted at least once:
routing that pointed at a page not containing the setting, contracts that pinned
the bug they were meant to prevent, and a comment that failed to stop the person
who read it making the exact mistake it warned about. Prose describing 137
settings would drift the day after it was written.
So this is generated, and a contract fails when the committed copy no longer
matches what the schema says. The document cannot be wrong for longer than it
takes to run the suite.
Usage:
panama-settings-docs write docs/settings.md
panama-settings-docs --check exit 1 if the committed copy is stale
panama-settings-docs --stdout print without writing
Where each group of settings lives comes from SettingsSearch.qml's routing and
SettingsRoutes.qml's taxonomy, so a page renamed or moved into another category
is renamed here too rather than in a list somebody has to remember.
Parsing rather than importing: the schema is QML, there is no QML interpreter
here, and a regex reader that FAILS LOUDLY when it stops recognising the file is
better than a dependency on a shell that has to start a compositor.
