feat: enhance project setup and architecture documentation

- Updated `tibi-project-setup` skill to clarify project initialization goals and steps.
- Improved `tibi-ssr-caching` skill to detail SSR architecture, responsibilities, and caching mechanisms.
- Introduced `website-solution-architecture` skill for translating website requirements into coherent solutions.
- Refined `AGENTS.md` to provide a structured roadmap for project development phases.
- Added `ADMIN_ASSET_VERSION` to `api/config.yml.env` for asset versioning.
- Updated SSR request flow and cache invalidation logic in `api/hooks/ssr/AGENTS.md`.
- Removed obsolete `esbuild.config.admin.js` and integrated asset versioning into the main `esbuild.config.js`.
- Adjusted `api/collections/content.yml` to utilize asset versioning for admin scripts.

### Row identification
### Preview
`rowIdentTpl` uses Twig syntax with field names. Used in admin list to identify entries:
Use `meta.preview` as the universal entry representation for Nova lists, breadcrumbs, foreign-key widgets, and search result previews:
```yaml
rowIdentTpl: { twig: "{{ name }}" } # Simple
rowIdentTpl: { twig: "{{ type }} — {{ language }}" } # Combined
preview: name

label: name
secondary: slug
badge: status

## List presentation
## Views: table, simpleList, cardList
The `views` array defines how entries are displayed in the admin list. Multiple views can coexist (e.g. table for desktop, simpleList for mobile).
### Table view
For current Nova, use `meta.viewHint` plus `meta.preview` for collection/list presentation.
```yaml
meta:
views:
- type: table
columns:
- name # Simple: field name as column
- source: lang # With filter
filter: true
- source: active # Boolean column with filter
filter: true
- source: price # Custom label
label: { de: "Preis", en: "Price" }
- source: insertTime # Date field
width: 160

preview:
label: name
secondary: slug
badge: status
table:
- name
- source: status
label: Status
- source: author.name
label: Author
select:
- author.name
```
### Simple list view (mobile)
```yaml
meta:
views:
- type: simpleList
mediaQuery: "(max-width: 600px)" # Show only on small screens
primaryText: name
secondaryText: lang
tertiaryText: path
image: thumbnail # Optional: show image thumbnail
```
### Card list view
```yaml
meta:
views:
- type: cardList
fields:
- source: name
label: Name
- source: price
label: Preis
widget: currency
```
- `meta.viewHint` controls the preferred collection presentation (`table`, `cards`, `media`, or `navigation` object where supported).
- `preview.table` defines explicit list columns for Nova.
- `preview.select` can reduce lookup work for preview table columns.
- `meta.subNavigation` defines filtered entry tabs in the sidebar.

The `preview` eval determines what's shown in the collapsed state of each array item.
### Drill-down arrays
For complex `object[]` data, prefer `drillDown: true` over dense inline editing. This is especially important for:
- nested content blocks
- FAQs / accordions
- team members with nested metadata
- pricing tables / feature matrices
### Pagebuilder fields
Nova supports pagebuilder configuration at both collection and field level.
Typical pattern:
```yaml
meta:
pagebuilder:
blockTypeField: type
defaultViewport: desktop
blockRegistry:
file: /_/assets/dist/admin.mjs
fields:
- name: blocks
type: object[]
meta:
widget: pagebuilder
pagebuilder:
blockTypeField: type
```
Use pagebuilder when editors work with heterogeneous content blocks. Use plain `object[]` only when the structure is uniform and simple.
### dependsOn
Use `dependsOn` to show only fields relevant to the selected block or mode:
```yaml
- name: image
type: file
meta:
dependsOn:
eval: $parent.type == 'hero'
```
This is critical for keeping pagebuilder schemas usable.
### AI-aware media and admin features
Current Nova types support AI-related admin capabilities, especially around media workflows. When appropriate for a project:
- use AI-assisted alt/caption generation for image-heavy collections
- prefer explicit target fields for generated metadata
- keep AI assist opt-in and editorially reviewable
Use AI only where it improves authoring quality; do not force it into every collection.
## Field-level permissions and authoring safety
Current tibi-server supports `readonlyFields`, `hiddenFields`, and eval-based field visibility/readonly rules.
Reflect these server rules in admin design:
- do not put critical computed fields front-and-center if editors may not be allowed to modify them
- use `dependsOn`, `hidden`, and readonly semantics deliberately
- remember that server-side permissions are authoritative even if the UI looks editable

## Common pitfalls
- **`meta.label` is i18n** — Always provide `{ de: "...", en: "..." }` objects, not plain strings.
- **`views` order matters** — First matching view (by `mediaQuery`) is shown. Put mobile views (with `mediaQuery`) before desktop views (without).
- **`meta.label` supports both strings and i18n objects** — Use i18n objects only when the collection or field label must be localized.
- **`choices.id` must match stored value** — The `id` in choices is what gets saved to the database.
- **`inputProps` depends on widget** — Not all props work with all widgets. Check tibi-admin-nova source if unsure.
- **`position: sidebar` without group** — Fields go to an ungrouped area. Use `position: "sidebar:GroupName"` for grouping.
- **`type: object[]` needs `subFields`** — Forgetting `subFields` renders an empty repeater.
- **hooks path** — Hook includes are relative to `api/` directory: `!include hooks/myfile.js`.
