Add automatic man page symlinking for pixi global commands following the same pattern as completions. Man pages are discovered from package environments and symlinked to ~/.pixi/share/man when commands are exposed, and removed when commands are no longer exposed. Key features: - Only symlinks man pages for commands exposed in ~/.pixi/bin - Supports standard man page sections (man1, man3, man5, man8) with priority ordering - Automatic cleanup of broken symlinks during sync operations - Unix-only implementation with graceful fallback on other platforms - Comprehensive test coverage including unit and integration tests Resolves prefix-dev#4131 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fix CI failures by properly conditionalizing man page sync calls for Unix-only systems. This ensures Windows compilation succeeds while maintaining full functionality on Unix platforms. Changes: - Add #[cfg(unix)] guards around sync_man_pages() calls - Fix integration test fixture name (default_channel_1 -> dummy_channel_1) - Ensure graceful fallback on non-Unix systems 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
