Changes pending release tag

• feat: Added targeted post-change HTML invalidation for the edited single across configured POM Translate languages while preserving the existing defaults and site-wide behavior.
• perf: Avoided rewriting the country-pricing web-server safety sentinel on every unchanged WordPress request.
• fix: Prevented WP-CLI, cron, administration, REST, and authenticated requests from promoting the persisted country-pricing cache gate without observing the public proxy path.
• fix: Kept shared HTML fail-closed while legacy country-pricing plugins are active and across explicit POM country-pricing rollout transitions.
• feat: Added a persisted early country-pricing safety gate and a web-server sentinel for universal shared WooCommerce HTML.
• perf: Enabled one neutral product-page cache entry across country zones when the complete integration gate is safe.
• fix: Excluded REST, Store API, Faceted Search, country-price resolution, Composite, and AJAX commerce traffic from static HTML delivery.
• fix: Added conservative site-wide invalidation for country-zone configuration, regional product prices, compatibility options, plugin state, and theme changes.
• docs: Documented universal country-pricing eligibility, dynamic route exclusions, Apache rules, and origin and CDN invalidation.
• feat: Add a request-scoped WP-CLI diagnostic that reports exact static HTML eligibility and filesystem write outcomes without requiring WordPress debug mode.
• docs: Document anonymous cache generation tracing, direct-origin requests, result interpretation, and security boundaries.
• build: Synchronize the recursive POM Knowledge Markdown tree to wp-content/docs/pom-knowledge during local release builds while excluding hidden and non-Markdown files.

• docs: Rewrite the tools, developer reference, and help chapters as distinct code-verified guides to diagnostics, public extension APIs, and safe troubleshooting.
• docs: Rewrite the progressive JSON and invalidation chapters as distinct runtime-verified guides to generation, layered delivery, freshness, clearing scope, multisite isolation, and CDN coordination.
• docs: Rewrite the Apache, WebP, compression, and CDN chapters as distinct guides with verified origin, edge, negotiation, and invalidation boundaries.
• docs: Rewrite the caching concepts and static HTML chapters as distinct, runtime-verified guides to request safety, generation, delivery, isolation, and diagnostics.
• docs: Rewrite the getting-started chapter as distinct, code-verified installation, licensing, interface, validation, and maintenance guides.
• docs: Add complete reader-focused cache documentation under numbered POM Docs Sync terms.
• docs: Clarify that public documentation must be reader-focused and exclude internal operational material.
• docs: Standardize numbered screenshot placeholders for public Markdown documentation.
