Documentation Cleanup - October 2025

What Was Done

Successfully reorganized documentation structure for better clarity and maintainability.

Files Reorganized

Created New Files ✅

  1. docs/README.md - Navigation guide for all documentation
  2. docs/setup/API_KEY_SETUP.md - Comprehensive guide (consolidated from 3 files)
  3. docs/development/LESSONS_LEARNED.md - Moved from root docs/
  4. docs/development/LOGCAT_FILTERING.md - Moved from root docs/
  5. docs/development/UX_IMPROVEMENTS_ARCHIVE.md - Archive of completed work

docs/API_KEY_DEBUGGING.md           → Merged into docs/setup/API_KEY_SETUP.md
docs/API_KEY_TROUBLESHOOTING.md     → Merged into docs/setup/API_KEY_SETUP.md
docs/GOOGLE_CLOUD_SETUP.md          → Merged into docs/setup/API_KEY_SETUP.md
docs/LESSONS_LEARNED.md             → Moved to docs/development/
docs/LOGCAT_FILTERING.md            → Moved to docs/development/
