refactor: serve the help pages with flask-wiki itself

The help module reimplemented three read routes and their templates for one reason: keeping the organisation code in the URL. flask-wiki now accepts a variable part in WIKI_URL_PREFIX and carries it through every URL it builds, so the duplication goes away. SONAR gains the editor, the file listing, the highlighted search results and the navigation that came with them.

• set WIKI_URL_PREFIX to /<org_code:view>/help and delete sonar/help, its three routes, its three templates and its process_link filter
• build the help link of the footer with a single url_for, and pass the view code where a wiki URL is built outside the wiki
• adapt to flask-wiki 4: drop EasyMDE and its CDN, hold the toasts wiki.js reveals by id, render the icons with the Font Awesome of the theme, and serve the Bootstrap assets locally as the base template loads them

The uploaded files keep hanging from /help/files/, whatever the view a reader came through, so the images already written in the pages keep working.

feat(wiki): open the help edition to the editor role

Writing the help pages required the superuser role, which grants every other privilege of the application along the way. A dedicated editor role now opens the wiki editor on its own, so the people documenting SONAR do not have to hold an account that can do anything. The setup script creates the role and an account holding it.

The wiki had no content either, so the help could not be opened in a development instance at all. A few pages adapted from the online help give it a home page in English and French, sub-pages that exist in only one of the two to exercise the language fallback, and an image in the upload folder the file manager needs. Their internal links are written as wikilinks, which url_for builds, so they follow the organisation code of the URL the reader came through.

feat(theme): gather the server messages in a single toast stack

A message flashed by the server was rendered as a Bootstrap alert in the flow of the page, the wiki raised the white toast of flask-wiki, and the citation modal had a green one of its own: three shapes for the same kind of feedback. They now share one toast() macro and one stack, anchored where the PrimeNG toasts of the user interface are, 20px from the top and the right of the viewport.

• render the flashed messages with the toast macro, and point WIKI_TOAST_TEMPLATE at it so that the wiki uses the same one
• hold the toasts of a page in a toasts block of the base template, filled by the wiki and by the document detail page
• dismiss the toasts the server rendered visible after five seconds, in plain JavaScript: jQuery is only loaded on a few pages
• drop the ngx-toastr stylesheet, which the user interface stopped using when it moved to PrimeNG and whose category classes stood in the way
• give the test fixtures their first wiki page, so that the help pages are covered by the test suite

Migration

• Set the three new configuration variables where the configuration of sonar/config.py is overridden:
  • WIKI_ICON_TEMPLATE = "wiki/icons/fontawesome.html" and WIKI_TOAST_TEMPLATE = "sonar/macros/messages.html". Left unset, flask-wiki falls back to its own Bootstrap icons and to its own toast, which no longer match the rest of the application.
  • BOOTSTRAP_SERVE_LOCAL = True. The wiki base template calls bootstrap.load_js(), and bootstrap-flask serves from a CDN by default. Left unset, the help pages pull jQuery, Popper and Bootstrap from jsDelivr, and everything these drive -- the toasts, the editor preview, the file upload -- stops working wherever that CDN is unreachable.
• Rebuild the wiki search index. The indexed URL now carries the language code, so the entries written by the previous version point nowhere: invenio flask_wiki init-index && invenio flask_wiki index.
• Rewrite the links written by hand in the help content. /help/<page>/ no longer matches any route, now that the prefix carries the organisation code. A wikilink -- [[page|label]] -- is built with url_for and therefore follows the view code and the host on its own. The links to the uploaded files, /help/files/<image>, keep working and need no change.

Walkthrough

The project now uses flask-wiki version 3.0.0 or newer with a temporary editable local source override. The legacy help blueprint, views, and templates were removed. Wiki routes now include an organization view prefix and use local Bootstrap assets with Font Awesome icons. Footer and test links generate scoped wiki URLs. The wiki page template adds toast support and removes the EasyMDE JavaScript include.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b5dc4

The migration is not merge-ready: normal installations may fail because they require a sibling flask-wiki checkout, and organization-scoped help pages or uploaded files may fail at runtime. Replace the local dependency and validate or correct both wiki page and file routes before merging.

In `@pyproject.toml`:
- Line 16: Replace the editable local flask-wiki path dependency with the
released flask-wiki>=3.0.0 requirement, then regenerate uv.lock so it no longer
references ../flask-wiki and remains consistent with the project configuration.

In `@sonar/config.py`:
- Line 869: Update the WIKI_URL_PREFIX and Flask-Wiki route design so the
dynamic org_code path is accepted by wiki.index() and wiki.page(url), while
static file serving matches /<org_code>/help/files/<filename> rather than
treating the converter as literal. Add end-to-end coverage for the view and
uploaded-file routes, preserving /help/files/ URLs across views; update
Flask-Wiki or the surrounding routes as needed until both tests pass.
