forbes-0023 77e5063b95 docs: deduplicate silo server content in favor of silo-server/ authority
Replace duplicated server setup, deployment, migrations, and config
sections in guide/silo.md, architecture/silo-server.md, and
reference/configuration.md with cross-references to the authoritative
docs/src/silo-server/ directory.

Fix dead link in COMPONENTS.md (mods/silo/docs/ → docs/src/silo-server/).

# Components
## ztools workbench
**Registered commands (9):**
| Command | Function |
|---------|----------|
| `ZTools_DatumCreator` | Create datum planes, axes, points (16 modes) |
| `ZTools_DatumManager` | Manage existing datum objects |
| `ZTools_EnhancedPocket` | Flip-side pocket (cut outside sketch profile) |
| `ZTools_RotatedLinearPattern` | Linear pattern with incremental rotation |
| `ZTools_AssemblyLinearPattern` | Pattern assembly components linearly |
| `ZTools_AssemblyPolarPattern` | Pattern assembly components around axis |
| `ZTools_SpreadsheetStyle{Bold,Italic,Underline}` | Text style toggles |
| `ZTools_SpreadsheetAlign{Left,Center,Right}` | Cell alignment |
| `ZTools_Spreadsheet{BgColor,TextColor,QuickAlias}` | Colors and alias creation |
**PartDesign integration** via `_ZToolsPartDesignManipulator`:
- `ZTools_DatumCreator`, `ZTools_DatumManager` → "Part Design Helper Features" toolbar
- `ZTools_EnhancedPocket` → "Part Design Modeling Features" toolbar
- `ZTools_RotatedLinearPattern` → "Part Design Transformation Features" toolbar
- Same commands inserted into Part Design menu after `PartDesign_Boolean`
**Datum types (7):** offset_from_face, offset_from_plane, midplane, 3_points, normal_to_edge, angled, tangent_to_cylinder. All except tangent_to_cylinder use `Part::AttachExtension` for automatic parametric updates.

## Origin commands (C++)
The Origin abstraction (`src/Gui/FileOrigin.h`) provides a backend-agnostic interface for document storage. Commands delegate to the active `FileOrigin` implementation (currently `LocalFileOrigin` for local files, `SiloOrigin` via `mods/silo/freecad/silo_origin.py` for Silo-tracked documents).
**Registered commands (5):**
| Command | Function | Icon |
|---------|----------|------|
| `Origin_Commit` | Commit changes as a new revision | `silo-commit` |
| `Origin_Pull` | Pull a specific revision from the origin | `silo-pull` |
| `Origin_Push` | Push local changes to the origin | `silo-push` |
| `Origin_Info` | Show document information from origin | `silo-info` |
| `Origin_BOM` | Show Bill of Materials for this document | `silo-bom` |
These appear in the File menu and "Origin Tools" toolbar across all workbenches (see `src/Gui/Workbench.cpp`).

## Silo workbench
**Registered commands (14):**
| Command | Function |
|---------|----------|
| `Silo_New` | Create new Silo-tracked document |
| `Silo_Open` | Open file from Silo database |
| `Silo_Save` | Save to Silo (create revision) |
| `Silo_Commit` | Commit current revision |
| `Silo_Pull` | Pull latest revision from server |
| `Silo_Push` | Push local changes to server |
| `Silo_Info` | View item metadata and history |
| `Silo_BOM` | Bill of materials dialog (BOM + Where Used) |
| `Silo_TagProjects` | Assign project tags |
| `Silo_Rollback` | Rollback to previous revision |
| `Silo_SetStatus` | Set revision status (draft/review/released/obsolete) |
| `Silo_Settings` | Configure API URL, projects dir, SSL certificates |
| `Silo_Auth` | Login/logout authentication panel |
**Global integration** via the origin system in `src/Gui/`:
- File toolbar: `Std_Origin` selector widget + `Std_New`/`Std_Open`/`Std_Save` (delegate to current origin)
- Origin Tools toolbar: `Origin_Commit`/`Origin_Pull`/`Origin_Push`/`Origin_Info`/`Origin_BOM` (auto-disable by capability)
- Silo origin registered at startup by `src/Mod/Create/InitGui.py`
**Dock panels:**
- Database Auth (2000ms) -- Login/logout and API token management
- Database Activity (4000ms) -- Real-time server event feed via SSE (Server-Sent Events) with automatic reconnection and exponential backoff
- Start Panel -- In-viewport landing page with recent files and Silo integration
**Server architecture:** Go REST API (38+ routes) + PostgreSQL + MinIO S3. Authentication via local (bcrypt), LDAP, or OIDC backends. SSE endpoint for real-time event streaming. See `docs/src/silo-server/` for server documentation.
**LibreOffice Calc extension** ([silo-calc](https://git.kindred-systems.com/kindred/silo-calc.git)): BOM management, item creation, and AI-assisted descriptions via OpenRouter API. Shares the same Silo REST API and auth token system via the shared [silo-client](https://git.kindred-systems.com/kindred/silo-client.git) package.

## Theme
**Canonical source:** `src/Gui/Stylesheets/KindredCreate.qss`
The PreferencePacks copy (`src/Gui/PreferencePacks/KindredCreate/KindredCreate.qss`) is generated at build time via `configure_file()` in `src/Gui/PreferencePacks/CMakeLists.txt`. Only the Stylesheets copy needs to be maintained.
Notable theme customizations beyond standard Catppuccin colors:
- `QGroupBox::indicator` styling to match `QCheckBox::indicator` (consistent checkbox appearance)
- `QLabel[haslink="true"]` link color (`#b4befe` Catppuccin Lavender) -- picked up by FreeCAD to set `QPalette::Link`
- Spanning-line tree branch indicators

## Icon infrastructure
### Qt resource icons (`src/Gui/Icons/`)
5 `silo-*` SVGs registered in `resource.qrc`, used by C++ Origin commands:
`silo-bom.svg`, `silo-commit.svg`, `silo-info.svg`, `silo-pull.svg`, `silo-push.svg`
### Silo module icons (`mods/silo/freecad/resources/icons/`)
10 SVGs loaded at runtime by the `_icon()` function in `silo_commands.py`:
`silo-auth.svg`, `silo-bom.svg`, `silo-commit.svg`, `silo-info.svg`, `silo-new.svg`, `silo-open.svg`, `silo-pull.svg`, `silo-push.svg`, `silo-save.svg`, `silo.svg`
### Missing icons
3 command icon names have no corresponding SVG file: `silo-tag`, `silo-rollback`, `silo-status`. The `_icon()` function returns an empty string for these, so `Silo_TagProjects`, `Silo_Rollback`, and `Silo_SetStatus` render without toolbar icons.
### Palette
All silo-* icons use the Catppuccin Mocha color scheme. See `kindred-icons/README.md` for palette specification and icon design standards.
