Add VPN configuration tools and agent documentation

Created comprehensive VPN setup tooling for Peaceful Spirit L2TP/IPsec connection
and enhanced agent documentation framework.

VPN Configuration (PST-NW-VPN):
- Setup-PST-L2TP-VPN.ps1: Automated L2TP/IPsec setup with split-tunnel and DNS
- Connect-PST-VPN.ps1: Connection helper with PPP adapter detection, DNS (192.168.0.2), and route config (192.168.0.0/24)
- Connect-PST-VPN-Standalone.ps1: Self-contained connection script for remote deployment
- Fix-PST-VPN-Auth.ps1: Authentication troubleshooting for CHAP/MSChapv2
- Diagnose-VPN-Interface.ps1: Comprehensive VPN interface and routing diagnostic
- Quick-Test-VPN.ps1: Fast connectivity verification (DNS/router/routes)
- Add-PST-VPN-Route-Manual.ps1: Manual route configuration helper
- vpn-connect.bat, vpn-disconnect.bat: Simple batch file shortcuts
- OpenVPN config files (Windows-compatible, abandoned for L2TP)

Key VPN Implementation Details:
- L2TP creates PPP adapter with connection name as interface description
- UniFi auto-configures DNS (192.168.0.2) but requires manual route to 192.168.0.0/24
- Split-tunnel enabled (only remote traffic through VPN)
- All-user connection for pre-login auto-connect via scheduled task
- Authentication: CHAP + MSChapv2 for UniFi compatibility

Agent Documentation:
- AGENT_QUICK_REFERENCE.md: Quick reference for all specialized agents
- documentation-squire.md: Documentation and task management specialist agent
- Updated all agent markdown files with standardized formatting

Project Organization:
- Moved conversation logs to dedicated directories (guru-connect-conversation-logs, guru-rmm-conversation-logs)
- Cleaned up old session JSONL files from projects/msp-tools/
- Added guru-connect infrastructure (agent, dashboard, proto, scripts, .gitea workflows)
- Added guru-rmm server components and deployment configs

Technical Notes:
- VPN IP pool: 192.168.4.x (client gets 192.168.4.6)
- Remote network: 192.168.0.0/24 (router at 192.168.0.10)
- PSK: rrClvnmUeXEFo90Ol+z7tfsAZHeSK6w7
- Credentials: pst-admin / 24Hearts$

Files: 15 VPN scripts, 2 agent docs, conversation log reorganization,
guru-connect/guru-rmm infrastructure additions

- Advanced analytics
---
## Design Principles
### True Integration, Not API Checkboxes
Unlike vendors who claim "API integration" but deliver siloed products that barely talk to each other, GuruRMM and GuruPSA must be designed as a unified system:
- **Single Action, Full Workflow**: When an admin initiates an EDR scan from the RMM, the PSA should automatically:
- Create/update a ticket with scan status
- Log the action against the asset
- Update documentation with findings
- Trigger alerts/escalations based on results
- No manual steps, no copy-paste, no "check the other product"
- **Bidirectional Context**: A technician viewing a ticket should see:
- Real-time agent status
- Recent alerts and metrics
- One-click remote access
- Full asset history
- Not just a link to "go look it up in the RMM"
- **Event-Driven Architecture**: Actions in one product automatically trigger appropriate responses in others. Not "you can build it yourself with the API" - it works out of the box.
- **Shared Data Model**: Assets, customers, contacts, and history exist once and are referenced everywhere. No sync conflicts, no duplicate data entry.
### Avoid the Datto Anti-Pattern
Datto owns ITGlue, Autotask, DattoRMM, and EDR - yet they operate as separate products that happen to have APIs. Example failures to avoid:
- EDR scan results don't auto-create tickets
- RMM alerts require manual ticket creation
- Documentation requires separate manual updates
- "Integration" means "we have an API, build it yourself"
GuruRMM/GuruPSA should feel like one product with different views, not two products bolted together.
---
## Notes
Add feature ideas and notes here as they come up:
- GuruPSA will be a separate repo but designed to integrate seamlessly with GuruRMM
- API-first design: both products should be fully controllable via API
- Users can use GuruRMM standalone, GuruPSA standalone, or both together
- Third-party PSA users get first-class integration via pluggable adapters
- Consider shared authentication/SSO between RMM and PSA
