Leopoldo Pla Sempere 7f01eab62e docs: refresh cache formats and web server workflows (#2233)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** Update project documentation to match
the current master implementation for cache formats, i18n, file
transfer/web server workflows, SD-card fonts, and root user-facing docs.
* **What changes are included?** Refreshes `book.bin`/`section.bin` docs
for v6/v25, updates File Transfer/Calibre/WebDAV/API docs, documents 24
UI languages and JSON language persistence, updates root
README/USER_GUIDE cache and network details, and syncs the tracked
CLAUDE skill doc cache-version notes.

## Additional Context

* Docs-only change. Verified with `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD`
and stale-reference greps for old cache versions, removed i18n APIs, old
WiFi screen wording, and raw `Serial.printf` examples. No firmware build
was run.

# Webserver Endpoints
This document describes the HTTP, WebSocket, WebDAV, and discovery endpoints
available while CrossPoint Reader is in File Transfer or Calibre Wireless mode.
- HTTP server: port 80
- WebSocket upload server: port 81
- UDP discovery listener: port 8134
- WebDAV: port 80, handled by the same HTTP server
Examples use `crosspoint.local`. If mDNS does not resolve on your network, use
the IP address shown on the device screen.
## HTTP Pages
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| `GET` | `/` | Home/status page |
| `GET` | `/files` | File manager page |
| `GET` | `/settings` | Web settings page |
| `GET` | `/fonts` | SD-card font manager page |
| `GET` | `/js/jszip.min.js` | JavaScript asset used by the file manager |
## Device Status
### `GET /api/status`
```bash
curl http://crosspoint.local/api/status
```
Response:
```json
{
"version": "1.0.0",

"mode": "STA",
"rssi": -45,
"freeHeap": 123456,
"uptime": 3600,
"device": "X4"
}
```
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `version` | string | Firmware version |
| `ip` | string | Device IP address |
| `mode` | string | `"STA"` for joined Wi-Fi or `"AP"` for hotspot mode |
| `rssi` | number | Wi-Fi RSSI in dBm; `0` in AP mode |
| `freeHeap` | number | Free heap in bytes |
| `uptime` | number | Seconds since boot |
| `device` | string | `"X3"` or `"X4"` hardware detection |
## File Management
### `GET /api/files`
Lists files and folders under a directory.
```bash
curl "http://crosspoint.local/api/files?path=/Books"
```
Query parameters:
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `path` | No | `/` | Directory to list |
Response:
```json
[
{"name":"MyBook.epub","size":1234567,"isDirectory":false,"isEpub":true},
{"name":"Notes","size":0,"isDirectory":true,"isEpub":false}
]
```
Hidden dotfiles are omitted unless the device setting `showHiddenFiles` is
enabled. `System Volume Information` and `XTCache` are always hidden/protected.

Protected dotfiles, `System Volume Information`, and `XTCache` cannot be
downloaded. EPUB files are served as `application/epub+zip`; other files use
`application/octet-stream`.

| `path` | Yes | Existing file path |
| `name` | Yes | New file name, not a path |
Only files can be renamed through this endpoint. The old EPUB cache path is
cleared before the rename.

## WebSocket Upload
### Port 81
The WebSocket path is used for fast binary uploads from the file manager and
Calibre plugin workflows.
Connection:
```text
ws://crosspoint.local:81/
```
Protocol:
1. Client sends text: `START:<filename>:<size>:<path>`
2. Server replies `READY`
3. Client sends binary chunks
4. Server sends `PROGRESS:<received>:<total>` every 64 KB or at completion
5. Server sends `DONE` when complete or `ERROR:<message>` on failure
Example session:
```text
Client -> START:mybook.epub:1234567:/Books
Server -> READY
Client -> [binary chunk]
Server -> PROGRESS:65536:1234567
...
Server -> DONE
```
Error messages include:
| Message | Cause |
|---------|-------|
| `ERROR:Upload already in progress` | A second upload was started before the first completed |
| `ERROR:Invalid START format` | Malformed START message or invalid size token |
| `ERROR:Failed to create file` | Destination file could not be opened |
| `ERROR:No upload in progress` | Binary data arrived without a matching START |
| `ERROR:Upload overflow` | Client sent more bytes than declared |
| `ERROR:Write failed - disk full?` | SD write failed |
Incomplete WebSocket uploads are deleted on disconnect or error.
## WebDAV
The same HTTP server registers a WebDAV-compatible handler for file manager clients.
Supported methods:
```text
OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, PROPFIND, MKCOL, MOVE, COPY, LOCK, UNLOCK
```
Notes:
- `PUT` writes to a temporary `.davtmp` file first, then renames it into place.
- Protected paths are rejected.
- `LOCK` and `UNLOCK` are accepted for client compatibility only. The server
does not implement full WebDAV Class 2 locking semantics such as persistent
locks or lock discovery.
## UDP Discovery
The server listens on UDP port `8134`. When it receives the text payload
`hello`, it replies to the sender with:
```text
crosspoint (on <hostname>);81
```
The final field is the WebSocket upload port.
## Network Modes
### Station Mode (STA)
- Device joins an existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- `crosspoint.local` is advertised with mDNS when available.
- `/api/status` returns `"mode": "STA"` and RSSI in dBm.
### Access Point Mode (AP)
- Device creates an open hotspot named `CrossPoint-Reader`.
- The device shows a Wi-Fi QR code and URL QR code.
- The fallback IP is typically `192.168.4.1`.
- `/api/status` returns `"mode": "AP"` and `"rssi": 0`.
### Calibre Wireless
Calibre Wireless starts the same web server in STA mode and displays setup
instructions plus WebSocket upload progress on the device screen.
