wiki: add dev-tools section with tmux, screen, and rsync articles

Add three new articles to 03-opensource/dev-tools/:
- tmux: persistent terminal sessions, background jobs, capture-pane
- screen: lightweight alternative, comparison table
- rsync: flags reference, resumable transfers, SSH usage

Update all indexes (SUMMARY, section index, main index, README).
Article count: 28 → 31. Remove tmux from writing backlog.

+# rsync — Fast, Resumable File Transfers
+
+## Problem
+
+Copying large files or directory trees between drives or servers is slow, fragile, and unresumable with `cp`. A dropped connection or a single error means starting over. You also want to skip files that already exist at the destination without re-copying them.
+
+## Solution
+
+`rsync` is a file synchronization tool that only transfers what has changed, preserves metadata, and can resume interrupted transfers. It works locally and over SSH.
+
+### Installation (Fedora)
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install rsync
+```
+
+### Basic Local Copy
+
+```bash
+rsync -av /source/ /destination/
+```
+
+- `-a` — archive mode: preserves permissions, timestamps, symlinks, ownership
+- `-v` — verbose: shows what's being transferred
+
+**Trailing slash on source matters:**
+- `/source/` — copy the *contents* of source into destination
+- `/source` — copy the source *directory itself* into destination
+
+### Resume an Interrupted Transfer
+
+```bash
+rsync -av --partial --progress /source/ /destination/
+```
+
+- `--partial` — keeps partially transferred files so they can be resumed
+- `--progress` — shows per-file progress and speed
+
+### Skip Already-Transferred Files
+
+```bash
+rsync -av --ignore-existing /source/ /destination/
+```
+
+Useful when restarting a migration — skips anything already at the destination regardless of timestamp comparison.
+
+### Dry Run First
+
+Always preview what rsync will do before committing:
+
+```bash
+rsync -av --dry-run /source/ /destination/
+```
+
+No files are moved. Output shows exactly what would happen.
+
+### Transfer Over SSH
+
+```bash
+rsync -av -e ssh /source/ user@remotehost:/destination/
+```
+
+Or with a non-standard port:
+
+```bash
+rsync -av -e "ssh -p 2222" /source/ user@remotehost:/destination/
+```
+
+### Exclude Patterns
+
+```bash
+rsync -av --exclude='*.tmp' --exclude='.Trash*' /source/ /destination/
+```
+
+### Real-World Use
+
+Migrating ~286 files from `/majorRAID` to `/majorstorage` during a RAID dissolution project:
+
+```bash
+rsync -av --partial --progress --ignore-existing \
+  /majorRAID/ /majorstorage/ \
+  2>&1 | tee /root/raid_migrate.log
+```
+
+Run inside a `tmux` or `screen` session so it survives SSH disconnects:
+
+```bash
+tmux new-session -d -s rsync-migrate \
+  "rsync -av --partial --progress /majorRAID/ /majorstorage/ | tee /root/raid_migrate.log"
+```
+
+### Check Progress on a Running Transfer
+
+```bash
+tail -f /root/raid_migrate.log
+```

+# screen — Simple Persistent Terminal Sessions
+
+## Problem
+
+Same problem as tmux: SSH sessions die, jobs get killed, long-running tasks need to survive disconnects. screen is the older, simpler alternative to tmux — universally available and gets the job done with minimal setup.
+
+## Solution
+
+`screen` creates detachable terminal sessions. It's installed by default on many systems, making it useful when tmux isn't available.
+
+### Installation (Fedora)
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install screen
+```
+
+### Core Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Start a named session
+screen -S mysession
+
+# Detach (keeps running)
+Ctrl+a, d
+
+# List sessions
+screen -list
+
+# Reattach
+screen -r mysession
+
+# If session shows as "Attached" (stuck)
+screen -d -r mysession
+```
+
+### Start a Background Job Directly
+
+```bash
+screen -dmS mysession bash -c "long-running-command 2>&1 | tee /root/output.log"
+```
+
+- `-d` — start detached
+- `-m` — create new session even if already inside screen
+- `-S` — name the session
+
+### Capture Current Output Without Attaching
+
+```bash
+screen -S mysession -X hardcopy /tmp/screen_output.txt
+cat /tmp/screen_output.txt
+```
+
+### Send a Command to a Running Session
+
+```bash
+screen -S mysession -X stuff "tail -f /root/output.log\n"
+```
+
+---
+
+## screen vs tmux
+
+| Feature | screen | tmux |
+|---|---|---|
+| Availability | Installed by default on most systems | Usually needs installing |
+| Split panes | Basic (Ctrl+a, S) | Better (Ctrl+b, ") |
+| Scripting | Limited | More capable |
+| Config complexity | Simple | More options |
+
+Use screen when it's already there or for quick throwaway sessions. Use tmux for anything more complex. See [tmux](tmux.md).

+# tmux — Persistent Terminal Sessions
+
+## Problem
+
+SSH sessions die when your connection drops, your laptop closes, or you walk away. Long-running jobs — storage migrations, file scans, downloads — get killed mid-run. You need a way to detach from a session, come back later, and pick up exactly where you left off.
+
+## Solution
+
+`tmux` is a terminal multiplexer. It runs sessions that persist independently of your SSH connection. You can detach, disconnect, reconnect from a different machine, and reattach to find everything still running.
+
+### Installation (Fedora)
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install tmux
+```
+
+### Core Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Start a named session
+tmux new-session -s mysession
+
+# Detach from a session (keeps it running)
+Ctrl+b, d
+
+# List running sessions
+tmux ls
+
+# Reattach to a session
+tmux attach -t mysession
+
+# Kill a session when done
+tmux kill-session -t mysession
+```
+
+### Start a Background Job Directly
+
+Skip the interactive session entirely — start a job in a new detached session in one command:
+
+```bash
+tmux new-session -d -s rmlint2 "rmlint /majorstorage// /mnt/usb// /majorRAID 2>&1 | tee /majorRAID/rmlint_scan2.log"
+```
+
+The job runs immediately in the background. Attach later to check progress:
+
+```bash
+tmux attach -t rmlint2
+```
+
+### Capture Output Without Attaching
+
+Read the current state of a session without interrupting it:
+
+```bash
+tmux capture-pane -t rmlint2 -p
+```
+
+### Split Panes
+
+Monitor multiple things in one terminal window:
+
+```bash
+# Horizontal split (top/bottom)
+Ctrl+b, "
+
+# Vertical split (left/right)
+Ctrl+b, %
+
+# Switch between panes
+Ctrl+b, arrow keys
+```
+
+### Real-World Use
+
+On **majorhome**, all long-running storage operations run inside named tmux sessions so they survive SSH disconnects:
+
+```bash
+tmux new-session -d -s rmlint2 "rmlint ..."   # dedup scan
+tmux new-session -d -s rsync-migrate "rsync ..."  # file migration
+tmux ls  # check what's running
+```
+
+---
+
+## tmux vs screen
+
+Both work. tmux has better split-pane support and scripting. screen is simpler and more universally installed. I use both — tmux for new jobs, screen for legacy ones. See the [screen](screen.md) article for reference.
