refactor-servers-workstations-shell-monitoring (#4)
### Summary

This PR refactors the playbook layout to reduce duplication and make host intent clearer (servers vs workstations), splits monitoring by host type, and restores full Zsh setup for developers while keeping servers aliases-only.

### Key changes

- **New playbooks**
  - `playbooks/servers.yml`: baseline for server-class hosts (no desktop apps)
  - `playbooks/workstations.yml`: baseline for dev/desktop/local + **desktop apps only on `desktop` group**

- **Monitoring split**
  - `roles/monitoring_server`: server monitoring + intrusion prevention (includes `fail2ban`, sysstat)
  - `roles/monitoring_desktop`: desktop-oriented monitoring tooling
  - Updated playbooks to use the correct monitoring role per host type

- **Shell role: server-safe + developer-friendly**
  - `roles/shell` now supports two modes:
    - `shell_mode: minimal` (default): aliases-only, does not overwrite `.zshrc`
    - `shell_mode: full`: installs Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel10k + plugins and deploys a managed `.zshrc`
  - `playbooks/development.yml` and `playbooks/workstations.yml` use `shell_mode: full`
  - `playbooks/servers.yml` remains **aliases-only**

- **Applications**
  - Applications role runs only on `desktop` group (via `workstations.yml`)
  - Removed Brave installs/repo management
  - Added **CopyQ** to desktop apps (`applications_desktop_packages`)

- **Docs + architecture**
  - Added canonical doc tree under `project-docs/` (overview/architecture/standards/workflow/decisions)
  - Consolidated architecture docs: `docs/reference/architecture.md` is now a pointer to `project-docs/architecture.md`
  - Fixed broken doc links by adding the missing referenced pages under `docs/`

### Behavior changes (important)

- Desktop GUI apps install **only** on the `desktop` inventory group (not on servers, not on dev VMs unless they are in `desktop`).
- Dev/workstation Zsh is now provisioned in **full mode** (managed `.zshrc` + p10k).

### How to test (local CI parity)

```bash
make test
npm test
```

Optional dry runs (interactive sudo may be required):

```bash
make check
make check-local
```

### Rollout guidance

- Apply to a single host first:
  - Workstations: `make workstations HOST=<devhost>`
  - Servers: `make servers HOST=<serverhost>`
- Then expand to group runs.

Role Name

A brief description of the role goes here.

Requirements

Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.

Role Variables

A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.

Dependencies

A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
