Run the registrar in its own process and prove that a sibling client
discovers the service through registry lookup instead of an existing
peer channel.
Retry ephemeral bind collisions, publish readiness atomically and
validate bounded cross-platform shutdown. Document actual duplicate
name and multi-registrar ordering semantics alongside the example.
Move the demo under the discovery examples and wrap process ownership
in an `@acm`. Record the future public subsystem, Piker service and
pytest isolation follow-ups.

Add a runnable `examples/dedicated_registrar.py` + a "A dedicated
registrar" subsection in `guide/discovery.rst` demoing the
registrar decoupled from any app tree's root: boot a bare
`tractor.run_daemon([], registry_addrs=[...])` as its own process
(a root actor that does nothing but hold the registry), point the
app tree at the same `registry_addrs`, and discover a service
*through* that external registrar.
This is the buildable-today form of the #472
"Registrar-as-subsystem (not the root actor)" bullet. Two
constraints are called out inline as follow-ups:
`enable_transports` is single-proto per runtime (no multi-backend
registrar yet), and a registrar can only be a root (no `actor_cls`
hook on `start_actor()` to spawn one as a subactor).

The remediation grew beyond the original no-autobind fix, leaving
public docs and nearby comments describing connect-only discovery,
XDG-only socket paths, raw readiness probes, and old cleanup naming.
Document typed registrar probing, occupied-address rejection, Darwin's
short runtime directory, platform-aware socket cleanup, sentinel
readiness, and subprocess output draining. Add the GH #473 bugfix
fragment and update regression rationale without changing task states.
Review: PR #480 (goodboy)

(this patch was generated in some part by `opencode` using
`gpt-5.6-sol` (`openai`))
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.
