Add the illustrated user guide
A LaTeX field guide covering install, keys, everyday commands, the decoy passphrase, scripting, locking and sync, internals, troubleshooting and a cheat sheet. build-pdf.sh compiles it with a pinned Tectonic, downloaded on first use. shots.py regenerates every screenshot from the real vault binary in a sandbox home.

"""Regenerate the user guide's terminal screenshots from real vault runs.
|
||||
|
||||
Every screenshot is the genuine output of the vault binary built from this
|
||||
checkout, run in a throwaway home directory. The cosmetic touches are: the
|
||||
sandbox path and file owner are shown as /home/sam and "sam sam", key lines
|
||||
are highlighted in amber for the reader, and "moment" frames show a prompt
|
||||
with a cursor, exactly as vault prints it before you type.
|
||||
|
||||
Needs: go, python3, and Chrome or Chromium (set CHROME=/path if not found).
