docs(amiga): complete AmigaOS 3.1/3.2 developer reference — 172 files across 17 sections
Comprehensive technical documentation covering:
- Hardware: OCS/ECS/AGA custom chip registers, Copper & Blitter deep dives
- Boot sequence: cold boot through startup-sequence
- Binary format: HUNK executable spec, relocation, debug info

- Exec kernel: tasks, interrupts, memory, signals, semaphores
- AmigaDOS: file I/O, FFS/OFS layout, CLI/Shell scripting
- Graphics: planar bitmaps, Copper programming, HAM/EHB modes
- Intuition: screens, windows, IDCMP, BOOPSI
- Devices: trackdisk, SCSI, serial, timer, audio, keyboard
- Libraries: utility, expansion, IFFParse, locale, ARexx
- Networking: bsdsocket API, SANA-II, TCP/IP stack comparison
- Toolchain: GCC, vasm/vlink, SAS/C, NDK, debugging
- Reverse engineering: IDA/Ghidra setup, compiler fingerprints, case studies
- CPU & MMU: 68040/060 emulation libs, PMMU, cache management
- Driver development: SANA-II, Picasso96/RTG, AHI audio
All files include breadcrumb navigation. No local paths or proprietary content.

Phase 1 continued: serial, input devices + README indexes
10_devices:
- serial.md: expanded with DB-25 pinout, custom chip UART registers,
baud rate calculation table, open/configure/read/write patterns,
serial debugging (KPrintF/Sushi)
- input.md: expanded with handler chain architecture diagram,
InputEvent struct, event classes table, qualifier bits, custom
handler with key remapping, event consumption/blocking,
synthetic event injection, Commodities Exchange
Updated indexes:
- 07_dos/README.md — enriched descriptions for all files
- 10_devices/README.md — enriched descriptions for all files
