Platform guides, device groups, terminal tabs, pack README manuals and logo credits move from Python tables to platforms/_guides.yml, checked against the registry on load. A folder row without a path is the registry's extract_to, written once. Wiki pages place themselves in the navigation with order and nav_title in their front matter. Generated docs/ and mkdocs.yml are unchanged.
