Adds a docs/ folder under the repo root with full operator documentation aimed at sysadmins (not webhook developers). The Zerto pre/post script recipe is the canonical "why does this exist" walkthrough; the GitHub HMAC, AD password reset, and UI-on-desktop recipes round out common patterns. Pages: - README.md (index) - concepts.md (5-minute "what is a webhook" explainer) - installation.md (interactive + silent install) - upgrading.md (single-click upgrade flow + edge cases) - uninstalling.md (clean removal + wiping ProgramData) - runas-modes.md (Service / InteractiveUser / SpecificUser decision flow) - service-account-and-ad.md (gMSA setup, delegated rights) - network-and-security.md (bind addresses, allowlists, HTTPS, secret storage) - troubleshooting.md (symptom -> first check, common errors) - recipes/zerto-pre-post-scripts.md (canonical use case) - recipes/github-style-hmac.md (GitHub / Stripe-shaped webhooks) - recipes/ad-password-reset.md (gMSA-backed self-service reset) - recipes/ui-on-desktop.md (InteractiveUser pattern) Top-level README.md restructured to point at docs/ as the source of truth, dropping the duplicated installation snippets. Installer ships docs/ alongside the binaries so they're available offline at C:\Program Files\WebhookServer\docs\. GUI Help menu gains a "Documentation" item that opens the docs site in a browser.

Webhook Server documentation
Webhook Server is a Windows service that runs a script (PowerShell, cmd, or any executable) when an HTTP request hits a URL you choose. It's designed for sysadmins who want to wire a tool like Zerto pre/post scripts, GitHub Actions, a monitoring system, or a backup tool into a Windows-side automation step — without writing a custom listener every time.
