Jeremy 872b0adb48 docs: reorganize into user-docs/ and dev/ subdirectories
Split flat docs/ into user-docs/ (guides, config, troubleshooting) and
dev/ (ADRs, architecture, extension guides, proposals). Updated

# State Management & Persistence
### Pattern: State in Tool Result Details
The recommended approach for stateful tools. State lives in `details` so it works correctly with branching/forking.
```typescript
export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
let items: string[] = [];
// Reconstruct from session on load
pi.on("session_start", async (_event, ctx) => {
items = [];
for (const entry of ctx.sessionManager.getBranch()) {
if (entry.type === "message" && entry.message.role === "toolResult") {
if (entry.message.toolName === "my_tool") {
items = entry.message.details?.items ?? [];
}
}
}
});
pi.registerTool({
name: "my_tool",
// ...
async execute(toolCallId, params, signal, onUpdate, ctx) {
items.push(params.text);
return {
content: [{ type: "text", text: "Added" }],
details: { items: [...items] }, // ← Snapshot state here
};
},
});
}
```
### Pattern: Extension-Private State (appendEntry)
For state that doesn't participate in LLM context but needs to survive restarts:
```typescript
pi.appendEntry("my-state", { count: 42, lastRun: Date.now() });
// Restore on reload
pi.on("session_start", async (_event, ctx) => {
for (const entry of ctx.sessionManager.getEntries()) {
if (entry.type === "custom" && entry.customType === "my-state") {
const data = entry.data; // { count: 42, lastRun: ... }
}
}
});
```
