Danila Poyarkov 3ef554ab2d docs: reorganize documentation and improve integrity
- Replace the ambiguous Guide section with explicit overview, reference, and development routes while preserving legacy URLs with redirects
- Route missing localized content to maintained canonical pages and emit SEO alternates only for real translations
- Add parser-backed documentation integrity checks and make the optimized local build the default while retaining a complete production build

# Getting Started
## Try Online
OpenPencil runs in the browser — no installation required. Open [app.openpencil.dev](https://app.openpencil.dev) to start designing.
If you want to build on top of it instead of only using the default app, see the [Programmable](/programmable/) section and the [Vue SDK](/programmable/sdk/).
## Download Desktop App
Pre-built binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux are available on the [releases page](https://github.com/open-pencil/open-pencil/releases/latest).

| macOS (Apple Silicon) | `.dmg` (aarch64) |
| macOS (Intel) | `.dmg` (x64) |
| Windows (x64) | `.msi` / `.exe` |
| Windows (ARM) | `.msi` / `.exe` |
| Linux (x64) | `.AppImage` / `.deb` |
## macOS via Homebrew
```sh

## Desktop App (Tauri)
The desktop app requires Rust and platform-specific prerequisites.
### macOS
```sh
xcode-select --install
cargo install tauri-cli --version "^2"
bun run tauri dev
```
### Windows
1. Install [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) with `stable-msvc` toolchain:
```sh
rustup default stable-msvc
```
2. Install [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/) with "Desktop development with C++" workload
3. WebView2 is pre-installed on Windows 10 (1803+) and Windows 11
4. Run:
```sh
bun run tauri dev
```
### Linux
Install system dependencies (Debian/Ubuntu):
```sh
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev build-essential curl wget file \
libxdo-dev libssl-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev
```
Then:
```sh
bun run tauri dev
```
### Build for Distribution
```sh
bun run tauri build # Current platform
bun run tauri build --target universal-apple-darwin # macOS universal
