docs(administration): add node maintenance & cordoning guide#1030
Conversation
Adds a dedicated guide covering cordon behavior, its effect on location-bound pipeline tasks, and recommended workflows for short maintenance, planned extended downtime, and node decommissioning. Also adds a cross-reference from the troubleshooting common-errors page for operators who find stuck sectors after cordoning. Replaces the code-level approach in #1026 with operator documentation, per team consensus that cordon should remain simple and user-controlled. Refs: #1025, #1026

Context
Replaces the code approach in #1026 with operator documentation, per team consensus that cordon behavior should remain simple and user-controlled.
What's added
administration/node-maintenance.md— covers what cordoning does, how it affects location-bound pipeline tasks, and recommended workflows for:troubleshooting/common-errors.md— so operators who find stuck sectors after cordoning get pointed to the guide.Why docs instead of code
The discussion on #1025 and #1026 settled on keeping cordon simple by design:
This guide gives operators the information they need to plan maintenance without losing pipeline work.
Closes #1025
