feat: command registry, alias wrapper scripts, config-ui readability

- lib/registry.sh: shared query API over POS_* headers (reg_scan, reg_list, reg_lookup, reg_tools_in, reg_each, reg_config_scopes/keys). Replaces per-consumer sed/grep header parsing. - bin/pos-tree + bin/pos _pos_category_help(): migrated to registry API. Category help now shows [deps: ...] annotations. Tree output preserved. - New optional headers # POS_DEPS: and # POS_EXAMPLES: in tool metadata. Added to pos-network-download (aria2c jq curl), pos-media-sync (lsblk jq), pos-system-backup (tar), pos-docker-ps (docker) as initial adopters. - scripts/gen-docs.sh: extended tools array with deps/examples fields; conditional column rendering in gen_dispatch; deps annotation in gen_tree. Fixed URL-unsafe // joiner (→ middle dot ·) and \x1f caption delimiter collision in config-ui. - bin/pos-ai-alias: rewrote activation from bash aliases (source-time-frozen) to executable wrapper scripts at ~/.local/bin. Staleness eliminated: edits apply on next invocation with no shell reload. _alias_sync() reconciliation on every subcommand, marker-guarded lifecycle, collision refusal, legacy .sh retirement. Fixed dup-table bug (option 4 no-op). - lib/config-ui.sh: @caption/@[KEY=alt] conditional captions, *providers=<tag> tagged wildcards, uniform typography tier (bold/cyan/dim), honest prompt. Active provider keys bold, inactive dimmed with reason. Backward-compatible. - bin/pos-system-uninstall: marker-scan for wrapper script cleanup. - Docs synced: AGENTS.md (new headers + registry), DOC/SCRIPTS.md (registry section + lib list), DOC/POS.md (alias wrapper activation), MAINTENANCE.md (M-024). Lint fixed: pos-ai-alias registered in INTERACTIVE_CMDS. Gates: make gen && make check && make lint = 0 FAIL, 0 WARN

 ## Quick facts
- **Tool model:** `bin/pos-<category>-<command>`, or **category-less** `bin/pos-<cmd>` for dispatcher/dev-level commands that fit no category (`pos-config`, `pos-tree`) — they dispatch like any tool and show with an empty category in the generated tables. `bin/pos` dispatches by longest-prefix arg matching. New tools are auto-discovered but must be executable (`100755`) and carry a `# POS: <cat> <cmd> — <desc>` header right after the shebang; `make gen` only uses the text after the first `— ` (the leading words are convention-only), so keep the one-line description concise. `# POS_FLAGS:` / `# POS_SUBCMDS:` / `# POS_CONFIG:` headers feed tab-completion and the `pos config` scope registry. A missing `# POS:` header hard-fails `make gen`. Legacy `bin/wr-*`, `mp3`, `mp4`, `vbox`, `ssh-load-all` are thin forwarders to `pos` — keep them that way.

A missing `# POS:` header hard-fails `make gen`. Legacy `bin/wr-*`, `mp3`, `mp4`, `vbox`, `ssh-load-all` are thin forwarders to `pos` — keep them that way.
- **Categories:** `ai`, `communication`, `docker`, `entertainment`, `media`, `network`, `share` (usb, nfs, smb), `ssh`, `system`, plus category-less `config`/`tree`. `pos tree` (bin/pos-tree) is the authoritative structure — it derives the hierarchy from `bin/pos-*` filenames + `# POS:`/`# POS_SUBCMDS:` headers.
+- **Categories:** `ai`, `communication`, `docker`, `entertainment`, `media`, `network`, `share` (usb, nfs, smb), `ssh`, `system`, plus category-less `config`/`tree`. `pos tree` (bin/pos-tree) is the authoritative structure — it derives the hierarchy from `bin/pos-*` filenames + `# POS:`/`# POS_SUBCMDS:` headers, reads the metadata through `lib/registry.sh`, and annotates each command's declared `# POS_DEPS:`.
 - **Generated code:** blocks between `GEN:START`/`GEN:END` markers in `DOC/AGENT_Context_Project.md` (tree, dispatch, selfcontained, filetable, docmap) and `completions/pos.bash` (flags, subcmds, config scopes) are `make gen` output — never hand-edit them. Generators must be **byte-order deterministic** (sort with `LC_ALL=C`, as `scripts/gen-docs.sh` does) or CI's `git diff --exit-code` trips on a locale that collates differently. After touching `bin/pos-*`, run `make gen`, then `make check`, then `make lint` (definition of done: check green + lint ends `0 FAIL, 0 WARN`). `make check` (`scripts/check-sync.sh`) is the self-consistency gate — bash -n + exec-bit check + doc-sync + dispatch smoke; `make lint` (`scripts/lint-conventions.sh`) is the convention gate — it enforces every rule in this file (shebang/strict-mode, exec bits, `# POS:` headers, `-h|--help` present and after deps guards, stdin-readers in `INTERACTIVE_CMDS`, POS.md coverage, plugin/app/unit/wrapper/secrets/env-seam classes — see `DOC/DEV.md → Convention Lint Gate`). Hand-maintained, not gen-checked: `DOC/POS.md`, the line-count rows above the filetable marker in `DOC/AGENT_Context_Project.md` (the non-`pos-*` files — `install.sh`, `preinstall.sh`, `postinstall.sh`, `lib/*`, `features/*`; bump a row's count only when that file's length changes), `bin/pos` usage() EXAMPLES, root README. CI (`.gitea/workflows/lint.yml`, job `gates`) runs the same four commands on every push to main and PR, then records the result as a git tag on the commit: `ci-ok/<sha>` or `ci-fail/<sha>` (pushes only — query with `scripts/ci-status.sh [--wait] [<sha>]`; exit 0 green / 1 red / 2 pending). A red run means gen drift or a gate failure and is a merge-blocker; still run the gates locally too (lint isn't in the pre-commit hook).
 - **Stdin gotcha:** any tool that reads stdin must be added to `INTERACTIVE_CMDS` in `bin/pos` — otherwise the logging `tee` pipe hangs on (or swallows) the prompt.
 - **Deps:** apt packages → `PACKAGES` array in `preinstall.sh`; non-apt/manual installers (e.g. `usbsrv`) → `command -v <bin> || err "…"` guard inside the tool, never in PACKAGES. Hotspot binaries (`create_ap`, `wihotspot*`) are prebuilt in `x64_bin/` (or `arm64_bin/`) and copied by `install.sh` — not apt packages.

 - **2026-08-23** — ytsync menu render bugfix (`bin/pos-media-ytsync`, live-box report): `cut -d'·'` at :292/:301 used U+00B7 = 2 bytes UTF-8 (GNU cut is byte-oriented → "delimiter must be a single character", masked by `|| true` so the `· last run …` suffix and LAST SYNC column never rendered); replaced with grep/tail capture + `${last%% ·*}` parameter expansion (semantics identical incl. empty-string=no-last-run); :1053 `printf '----…\n'` format starting with `-` parsed as invalid option → `printf '%s\n' '----…'`. Chain: Detective root cause (`reportAgents/2026-08-23-detective-ytsync-menu-errors.md`) → Builder 3-site fix (`-builder-ytsync-menu-fix.md`, pty probe: suffix + separator render, zero stderr noise) → Reviewer ACCEPT-WITH-NITS (`-reviewer-ytsync-menu-fix.md` delivered inline). Gates re-run by Orchestrator post-review: `make gen` idempotent, check OK, lint 0 FAIL / 0 WARN.
 - **2026-08-23** — Menu Phase 1 (user-ratified decision "b"): category-neutral menu library extracted from share-suite Pattern B + four P1 tool menus. New `lib/menu-lib.sh` (169 ln): `menu_guard`/`menu_run`/`menu_pick`/`menu_ask_value` (stderr render, /dev/tty reads, EOF fail-closed rc=1, index/value→stdout); `lib/share-lib.sh` (436→318) keeps its public names as pure delegating shims so all five `pos share *` tools stay untouched; install.sh Phase-2 explicit lib list += menu-lib.sh. Opt-in no-args+tty front doors (or `menu` verb, `# POS_SUBCMDS:` registered, completions regen'd) on `pos media sync` (164→216: Sync-now/Preview/mp3/mp4/source-folder items), `pos system backup` (216→292: typed/service-root/plain variants, every backup behind folder-naming y/N), `pos docker compose` (366→487: ls/up/down/restart/logs/update/config items, down/restart/update confirm-gated naming the stack), `pos system schedule` (81→151: list/status/run-now(confirm)/enable/disable/editor — timer-invoked `run <name>` verb dispatch byte-identical to HEAD). INTERACTIVE_CMDS unchanged; all CLI verbs byte-compatible. Docs: POS.md ×4 rows, DEV.md lib row, SCRIPTS.md sections, AGENT_Context rows + GEN. Chain: Explorer survey (37 tools, `reportAgents/2026-08-23-explorer-pos-menu-survey.md`) → Designer classification (`-designer-pos-menu-suitability.md`: 14 MENU-FIT / 7 CONDITIONAL / 16 NO-FIT) → Builder T1/T2/T3 (`-builder-t1-menu-lib-extraction.md`, `-t2-p1-menus-media-backup.md`, `-t3-p1-menus-compose-schedule.md`; T3 discloses a mid-verify symlink clobber restored+re-verified) → Reviewer ACCEPT_WITH_NOTES over the consolidated diff (`-reviewer-phase1-menu.md`, T3 integrity clean). Verified: bash -n ×7, pty probes (render/quit/EOF/non-tty fail-closed/destructive prompt-abort), gates green after each pass and re-run by Orchestrator post-review (`make gen` idempotent · `make check` OK · `make lint` 0 FAIL / 0 WARN). Open for later phases: P2 (docker-vbox, network-download), firewall style-migration decision, usb-server `menu` in POS_FLAGS nit (owning track).
 - **2026-08-23** — Menu Phase 2 + firewall style-migration (decision "a" activated: P1 landed, `lib/menu-lib.sh` exists). `pos docker vbox` (157→261): 6-item menu hub over the inline case verbs via a quoted self-invocation `menu_self` (verbs never re-enter the menu → no recursion); `enter` hands over the terminal and returns to the loop; rm/create behind VM-naming y/N. `pos network download` (950→1104): 13-item top-verb map onto existing cmd_* fns — add URL (`menu_ask_value`, optional `--tmux`), gid-pick → info/pause/resume/remove/restart (remove names name+gid before delete), typed-confirm purge, watch handover, daemon start/stop (stop confirmed); non-fatal RPC liveness gate (`-m 3`) keeps queue views alive on a dead daemon; deliberately NOT added to INTERACTIVE_CMDS — menu-lib's tty-guarded reads make membership unnecessary and keep tee-logging for all scripted verbs (survey E-002; Reviewer traced the lint pass as honest through `uses_stdin`). `pos system firewall` (308→325) migrated to repo-standard mechanics ONLY: menu heredoc render → stderr `{ … } >&2` (body byte-preserved), all **38** interactive reads → `/dev/tty` via tool-local `tty_read()` (EOF/no-tty → pointer + rc1, never hangs), `prompt_ipver` de-command-substituted so EOF exits gracefully; root gate / per-cmd confirm / typed RESET / pager / notify / every ufw invocation untouched. Both new tools register `# POS_SUBCMDS:` += `menu`; POS.md rows updated; GEN regen'd. Chain: Builder T4 (`reportAgents/2026-08-23-builder-t4-p2-menus-vbox-download.md`; correctly caught an Orchestrator brief error claiming download was in INTERACTIVE_CMDS) + T5 (`-t5-firewall-menu-migration.md`; pty parity captures vs pre-edit baseline) → Reviewer ACCEPT-WITH-NITS over both (`-reviewer-phase2-menu.md`, transcribed by Orchestrator; recursion/injection analysis, 13/13 mapping proof, four T5 intents verified hunk-by-hunk). Verified: bash -n ×3 + gates green after each pass; final trio re-run by Orchestrator post-T5 — `make check` OK · `make lint` 0 FAIL / 0 WARN (76s under box load ~7; the earlier apparent lint hang was shared-box CPU contention, no code issue). Remaining notes for later sessions: errexit kills whole menu when a backing verb hard-fails (repo-wide pattern, all six menus); `confirm()` EOF hits set-u unbound `yn` (pre-existing common.sh); vbox create EOF at dir prompt degrades to default while name/image prompts abort (cosmetic).
 - **2026-08-26** — `pos ai alias` activation rework (Option B) + `pos config` listing readability, per the 2026-08-26 Architect/Designer specs (`AgentsReport/{architect,designer}/2026-08-26-*.md`). **Alias activation:** the stale sourced-snapshot mechanism is gone — every `pos ai alias` invocation runs `_alias_sync()` (two-way reconciliation: render-diff-install of one executable wrapper per ENV record at `~/.local/bin/<name>` chmod 755 via mktemp+mv with a `bash -n` pre-commit guard; marker-guarded deletion of owned wrappers missing from ENV; legacy `ai-aliases.sh` generation stopped and generator-marker-guarded auto-removal with an `unalias <names>` remediation hint; loud PATH guidance when `~/.local/bin` is off PATH). Edits are live on next invocation with no shell reload (kills the reported stale-gemini-alias bug class); create refuses foreign-file and PATH-binary collisions; `show` gains the wrapper path; `pos-system-uninstall` sweeps the wrappers by their line-2 marker in discovery+removal. Dup-table menu bug fixed with a single `_alias_table` renderer (menu option 4 returns to the loop whose pre-render already shows fresh state). **Config readability** (`lib/config-ui.sh`, fully generic): new optional `# POS_CONFIG:` field types — `@Caption` / `@[KEY=v1|v2] Caption` group captions (condition evaluated per render via `cfg_value`; inactive groups dimmed with a textual reason, never hidden → numbering stable; empty-alt segment = unset-as-default) and `*providers=<tag>` adapter filtering (zero match warns once + suppresses its caption); uniform typography tier for ALL scopes (bold title/keys, CYAN rule, dim numbers/placeholders/examples/captions, hanging-indent wrap clamped 60–120 cols, whole render block → stderr per menu-lib house pattern, honest prompt `Number to edit [r=refresh, q=quit]:`); masking/edit flow byte-compatible, no per-scope branches. `bin/pos-ai` line-6 header adopted to the caption/tag syntax (single-line change). Verified: stub-PATH harness (`HOME=/tmp/…`, `CONFIG_DIR` seam, argv-capturing `pos` shim) covering %q quoting round-trips (quotes/backticks/`$()`/%/unicode), staleness kill-test, orphan retraction, collision-refusal matrix, legacy migration (marker + foreign), PATH-absent warning, non-tty guard, idempotent double-sync; rendered-output diffs vs Designer mockups for `ai` AND old-format `system`; gates `make gen && make check && make lint` 0 FAIL / 0 WARN.

A wrapper re-reads its bytes on every run, so an edit is **live on the next invocation** (no reload), and the scripts work identically in interactive shells, scripts, cron, and non-login ssh sessions (`~/.local/bin` must stay on `PATH` — a loud warning with a copy-paste fix appears when it isn't). Create refuses name collisions: a foreign file at `~/.local/bin/<name>` and names resolving to another binary on `PATH` are never overwritten. The legacy generated `~/.config/linux_post_install/ai-aliases.sh` is no longer written; on the next invocation pos removes it automatically (marker-guarded — a foreign-content file is left untouched with a warning) and prints an `unalias <names>` remediation hint for already-running shells (or simply start a new shell).

 `pos config` is the interactive editor for the tools' runtime config (see [DEV.md](DEV.md#config-files) and §10 of AGENT_Context). Every tool exposes its configuration by declaring a `# POS_CONFIG:` header; `pos config` reads those at runtime — it knows nothing about the variables themselves. Values live in `~/.config/linux_post_install/<scope>.env` (chmod 600).
 Headers may also declare **group captions**: `@Caption` starts a visual group, and `@[KEY=v1|v2] Caption` makes the group conditional — while `KEY`'s current value matches none of the listed alternatives, the group stays visible but dimmed with a textual reason (`— inactive while KEY=…`), so row numbering never changes mid-session. Wildcards can be tagged: `*providers=<tag>` pulls keys from a single AI provider adapter instead of all of them. The listing renders uniformly for every scope (bold title/keys, dim numbers/examples/placeholders, word-wrapped descriptions); at the prompt type a number to edit, `r` to refresh, or `q` to quit.

 ## lib/registry.sh — tool metadata query API
 **File:** `lib/registry.sh` (installed to `/usr/local/bin/registry.sh`)
 **Purpose:** the one query API over the tools' `# POS_*:` metadata headers, so consumers source it instead of re-implementing sed/grep header scans. `reg_scan [dir]` reads every executable `pos-*` file once — sorted under `LC_ALL=C`, and cheap enough to call lazily (plain dispatch paths skip it entirely); each tool's key is its filename after `pos-` with the category split off at the first dash (category-less tools carry an empty category). The populated stores serve `reg_list`, `reg_categories`, `reg_tools_in` and `reg_lookup <tool> <field>` with fields `cat|desc|flags|subcmds|deps|examples` (`deps`/`examples` come from the optional `# POS_DEPS:` / `# POS_EXAMPLES:` headers); the multi-line `# POS_CONFIG:` registry gets its own helpers (`reg_config_scopes`, `reg_config_keys`, `reg_config_envfile`); `reg_each <callback>` iterates every tool calling `cb(category, tool_key, description)`; `reg_tool_exists` is the membership probe. Like `lib/config-ui.sh` it defines guarded `log`/`warn`/`err` fallbacks so it sources cleanly without `lib/common.sh`; no shebang and never executed (installed 644).
 Sourced by `bin/pos-tree` (tree rendering incl. the `[deps: …]` annotations) and by `bin/pos` `_pos_category_help()` for `pos <category> --help` (lazy load there, so plain dispatch never pays the scan cost). `scripts/gen-docs.sh` predates the registry and keeps parsing the same headers independently for its generated blocks; new consumers should prefer the registry.

 ### M-024
 Status: VERIFIED
 Severity: LOW
 Category: docs
 Files: AGENTS.md:17-18; DOC/SCRIPTS.md (Phase-2 lib list, TOC, new lib section)
 Evidence: the command-registry feature landed (`lib/registry.sh`, 199 lines; optional `# POS_DEPS:`/`# POS_EXAMPLES:` headers already codified in `templates/pos-tool.sh:13-14` and `DOC/DEV.md:126-134`) but three docs kept describing the old reality: AGENTS.md Quick facts enumerated only `POS_FLAGS`/`SUBCMDS`/`CONFIG` with no mention of the shared query API; DOC/SCRIPTS.md's Phase-2 lib list omitted `registry.sh` and had no section for it (its TOC also lacked five pre-existing lib sections).
 Expected: docs describe what IS — code + `# POS:` headers are ground truth (Phase 0 rule 4).
 Recommended fix: sync the three drifted docs to implemented reality; no code/template/completion changes.
 Verification: `make gen` produces zero diff beyond pre-existing work; `make check` green; `make lint` 0 FAIL / 0 WARN; `grep -n "POS_DEPS"` hits AGENTS.md, DEV.md, SCRIPTS.md.
 Fix (2026-08-26): template `templates/pos-tool.sh` now documents the optional `# POS_DEPS:`/`# POS_EXAMPLES:` headers (pre-existing); `lib/registry.sh` added as the shared query API over all `POS_*` headers (`reg_scan` + `reg_list`/`reg_lookup`/…) — AGENTS.md Tool-model + Categories bullets updated, DOC/SCRIPTS.md got the lib-list row (install.sh:143 order), a per-lib reference section, and a completed TOC. Consumers were already migrated (`bin/pos-tree`, `bin/pos` `_pos_category_help()`); lint unchanged (0 FAIL / 0 WARN).
