Vincent Koc 198ed08a38 docs: fix redirect chains and disambiguate duplicate titles
Redirects:
- /cron now goes directly to /automation/cron-jobs (was chaining via /cron-jobs)
- /model and /model/ now go directly to /concepts/models (was chaining via /models)

Duplicate titles disambiguated (6 of 7 - Logging is orphaned):
- Health Checks (macOS), Skills (macOS), Voice Wake (macOS), WebChat (macOS)
- General Troubleshooting (help/ vs gateway/)
- Provider Directory (providers/index vs concepts/model-providers)

# Skills (macOS)
The macOS app surfaces OpenClaw skills via the gateway; it does not parse skills locally.
## Data source
- `skills.status` (gateway) returns all skills plus eligibility and missing requirements
(including allowlist blocks for bundled skills).
- Requirements are derived from `metadata.openclaw.requires` in each `SKILL.md`.
## Install actions
- `metadata.openclaw.install` defines install options (brew/node/go/uv).
- The app calls `skills.install` to run installers on the gateway host.
- The gateway surfaces only one preferred installer when multiple are provided
(brew when available, otherwise node manager from `skills.install`, default npm).
## Env/API keys
- The app stores keys in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `skills.entries.<skillKey>`.
- `skills.update` patches `enabled`, `apiKey`, and `env`.
## Remote mode
- Install + config updates happen on the gateway host (not the local Mac).
