Collect the sphinx build + live-preview one-liners (incl. the nix
`.#docs` opt-in shell and the `d2` diagram specifics) so
contributors don't have to reverse-engineer them,
- new `notes_to_self/howtodocs.md` terse cheat-sheet (force-added
past the `notes_to_self/` ignore, same as `howtorelease.md`),
- a rendered "Building these docs" section in the dev-tips guide
(`docs/project/dev-tips.rst`),
- a README pointer to the note.

Replace the ancient `docs/index.rst` (still teaching
`tractor.run()`, `@stream` + arbiters..) with a full ~32 page tree
teaching ONLY the current api (`.wait_for_result()`, registrar
naming, `@context` + `open_context()` as the core model),
- landing: hero example, feature cards + canon links,
- `start/`: install + a 4-example quickstart on-ramp,
- `explain/`: an "SC across processes" essay distilling the essence
per #157's orig ask + a runtime architecture tour,
- `guide/`: 12 task-focused pages incl the flagship multi-process
debugging walkthrough, `Context` + `MsgStream` deep-dives,
cancellation semantics (self-vs-cross cancel rules), discovery,
infected `asyncio`, typed msging + the #126 testing-tips page,
- `api/`: 10 curated autodoc pages (all targets import-verified vs
the reorg'd subpkg tree),
- `project/`: changelog include, ported dev-tips (drops old
`docs/dev_tips.rst`) + roadmap.
Every code block is a `literalinclude` from `examples/`
- zero duplication, all CI-run - w/ `d2` figs floated
into the RHS margin per the 3-col design. Build is green; the 24
remaining warnings all source from lib docstring rst-isms or legacy
`NEWS.rst` content.
Substantially resolves#157 (refine round pending); chips at #175 +
#126.
