Summary

Adds a dedicated Community App Guides section (building on the approach from PR #405) and a placeholder guide for Paperless NGX so the client can preview how guides look in context.

What's included

Community App Guides section

  • Separate docs plugin so guides live in their own section (/guides/) and are clearly separate from core Unraid documentation.
  • Navbar link labeled "Community App Guides" linking to /guides/.
  • Intro page (guides/intro.mdx) describing the section, "Last validated" expectations, and link to the main docs repo for contribution guidelines.
  • Sidebar for the guides section via sidebarsGuides.js.

Paperless NGX dummy page

  • Placeholder guide at guides/paperless-ngx.mdx with a "Last validated" block and short intro, to demonstrate how a real guide will appear in the section.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a new "Community App Guides" navigation item linking to a dedicated guides section for community-contributed application documentation.
    • New guides section includes contribution instructions and validation requirements for guide submissions.
  • Documentation

    • Added introductory guide explaining the guides' purpose and how to contribute.
    • Added placeholder guide for Paperless NGX application documentation.
