Update Cove TODO: Add complete API documentation links

Major discovery - found comprehensive JSON API documentation on N-able site!

Added documentation sections:
- Core API docs: login, authentication, construct API calls
- Key endpoints: enumerate-customers, enumerate-devices, enumerate-device-statistics
- Reference docs: API column codes, schema documentation
- Architecture and security guides

Key findings:
- API docs located in "unused" folder but still functional
- JSON API structure (likely JSON-RPC or custom format)
- Three critical endpoints identified for backup monitoring:
  1. enumerate-customers (list all customers)
  2. enumerate-devices (list backup devices)
  3. enumerate-device-statistics (backup job results - KEY ENDPOINT!)

Updated status:
- Marked API documentation as found
- Changed next action from "find docs" to "read auth docs and test"
- Updated Phase 1 to start with reading login/auth documentation

Next steps:
1. Read login.htm to understand token authentication
2. Read construct-a-call.htm to understand request format
3. Read enumerate-device-statistics.htm - likely contains backup status data
4. Test in Postman with documented format

-- Look for documentation links on the API user creation page
+1. **Start here:** [Login/Auth](https://documentation.n-able.com/covedataprotection/USERGUIDE/documentation/Content/unused/service-management/json-api/login.htm) - How to authenticate with your token
-- Search Cove knowledge base for "API documentation"
+2. **Then read:** [Construct a Call](https://documentation.n-able.com/covedataprotection/USERGUIDE/documentation/Content/unused/service-management/json-api/construct-a-call.htm) - Request format
-- Try common API base URLs with `/docs` or `/swagger` endpoints
+3. **Key endpoint:** [Enumerate Device Statistics](https://documentation.n-able.com/covedataprotection/USERGUIDE/documentation/Content/unused/service-management/json-api/enumerate-device-statistics.htm) - This likely has backup job data!

+**What to extract from docs:**
+- API base URL/endpoint
+- Request format (JSON-RPC? REST? POST body structure?)
+- How to use the token in requests
+- Response format examples
+- Which fields contain backup status/results
