Code Review
This pull request adds a valuable 'Pre-Packaging Research' section to the Cloudron app packaging guide. This new section advises developers to search the Cloudron forum and app store for existing packaging efforts and information before starting from scratch, which is a great practice to save time and avoid duplicate work. The added content is clear and well-organized. I have one minor suggestion to improve the readability of a link.
| - User experience reports on complexity, stability, and resource usage | ||
| - Upstream compatibility issues with Cloudron's read-only filesystem or auth model | ||

For better readability, consider using a more descriptive link text for the packaging category. Instead of showing a partial URL, you could use the category's name, which makes it clearer where the link will lead.

If APP_NAME can contain spaces/special characters, this search URL will need URL-encoding (e.g., %20) or it may not return the intended results when copy/pasted.

Can you confirm cloudron appstore search APP_NAME is a valid Cloudron CLI command? I don’t see appstore subcommands in the current CLI docs, so this line may mislead users/agents if the command doesn’t exist.

Summary
Motivation
The Cloudron forum is a rich source of packaging knowledge that can save significant trial-and-error. Community threads frequently contain partial implementations, known quirks with read-only filesystems or auth models, and real-world resource usage data. This guidance ensures the agent leverages this knowledge before starting from scratch.
