fix: update documentation to match implementation

[pekkah]

This PR fixes several major documentation discrepancies identified in the documentation review:

Changes

• Fix .NET version requirements: Updated from ".NET 6+" to ".NET 9+" across all documentation
• Correct installation instructions: Updated to reflect source-based distribution instead of global tool
• Update configuration examples: Match SiteDefinition.cs defaults (output vs gh-pages)
• Document development server features: Added details about WebSocket live reload and file watching
• Update roadmap: Mark development server as implemented and available

Impact

These fixes resolve critical user experience issues around setup and installation, ensuring users can successfully install and use the tool as documented.

Closes #226

---

✅ Overall Assessment: APPROVED

This PR makes essential corrections that align the documentation with the actual implementation. The changes are accurate, well-researched, and will significantly improve the user experience.

📋 Detailed Review Findings

✅ Code Quality & Accuracy

• Excellent: All documentation changes are verified against the actual codebase
• .NET Version Fix: Correctly updated from ".NET 6+" to ".NET 9+" (verified in Directory.Build.props:10 and DocsTool.csproj:4)
• Default Output Path: Accurately corrected from "gh-pages" to "output" (verified in SiteDefinition.cs:13)
• Installation Instructions: Properly reflect the current source-based distribution model

✅ Technical Accuracy Verification

Change	Verified Against	Status
.NET 9+ requirement	Directory.Build.props, *.csproj files	✅ Correct
Default output "output"	SiteDefinition.cs:13	✅ Correct
Source-based distribution	DocsTool.csproj (PackAsTool=true but not published)	✅ Correct
WebSocket live reload	DevCommand.cs:80,123,156-171	✅ Correct
Dev server features	DevCommand.cs, WebSocketService.cs	✅ Correct

✅ Development Server Documentation

Excellent additions to cli-reference.md:110-115:

• Live reload: WebSocket-based browser refresh (verified in DevCommand.cs:123)
• File watching: Monitors input directories (verified in DevCommand.cs:82-143)
• Concurrent build protection: Semaphore-based locking (verified in DevCommand.cs:16,94)
• Development server: Built-in HTTP server (verified in DevCommand.cs:145-184)

✅ Configuration Examples

• README.md: Updated default output_path example from "gh-pages" to "output"
• getting-started.md: Consistent with SiteDefinition defaults

✅ Installation Instructions

• Accurate: Properly documents the current source-based distribution
• Clear: Step-by-step instructions for cloning, building, and optional global tool installation
• Helpful: Includes both direct execution and global tool approaches

🔍 Security & Performance

• No security concerns: Documentation changes only
• No performance impact: Documentation changes only
• Improves UX: Fixes critical setup barriers for new users

🧪 Test Coverage

• N/A: Documentation changes don't require additional test coverage
• Existing tests: Remain valid with these documentation updates

💡 Minor Suggestions

1. Consistency: The README.md example at line 104 still shows cd gh-pages but should be cd output to match the updated default
2. Consider: Adding a note about when the global tool publication is planned (if applicable)

📝 Summary

This PR successfully resolves critical documentation discrepancies that were causing user confusion and setup failures. The changes are:

• ✅ Technically accurate - Verified against actual implementation
• ✅ Well-researched - Addresses real pain points from issue Review documentation #226
• ✅ User-focused - Improves onboarding experience significantly
• ✅ Comprehensive - Updates all relevant documentation consistently

The documentation now correctly reflects the actual tool requirements and capabilities. Strongly recommended for merge.
