SnapOtter d24e244af4 docs: organize tool pages by modality under /tools/<modality>/
Move all 157 tool pages into image/video/audio/pdf/data subfolders so URLs read /tools/<modality>/<id> (e.g. /tools/image/crop). Nest the image sub-categories under an Image group in the sidebar so the nav reads by modality. Add public/_redirects (301, clean + .html forms) mapping every old flat /tools/<id> URL to its new path so inbound links keep working. Rewrite all internal /tools links. Verified with a clean docs build (no dead links).

# Silence Removal
Detect and remove silent sections from an audio file based on a configurable threshold and minimum duration.
## API Endpoint
`POST /api/v1/tools/audio/silence-removal`
Accepts multipart form data with an audio file and a JSON `settings` field.
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| thresholdDb | number | No | `-50` | Silence threshold in dB (-80 to -20). Audio below this level is considered silent. |
| minSilenceS | number | No | `0.5` | Minimum silence duration in seconds to remove (0.1 to 5) |
## Example Request
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/audio/silence-removal \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@audio.mp3" \
-F 'settings={"thresholdDb": -45, "minSilenceS": 1}'
```
## Example Response
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/audio.mp3",
"originalSize": 4500000,
"processedSize": 3200000
}
```
## Notes
- A higher (less negative) threshold is more aggressive and removes quieter passages as well as true silence.
- Increase `minSilenceS` to only strip longer pauses while keeping short natural gaps.
- Useful for cleaning up podcast recordings, lectures, and voice memos.
- Output format matches the input format.
