Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA programming guide" — implicit phrasings: "write my first DOCA program", "meson line for doca_rdma_*", "got DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE on my first call", "call DOCA from Rust without writing C", "built clean but nothing on the wire", "what order do doca_*_pipe calls go in". Refuse and route for install / hugepages / pkg-config not resolving doca-{library} (doca-setup), docs or version lookup (doca-public-knowledge-map), and library-internal API construction like Flow pipe topology or RDMA QP setup (matching…
