From e5e5b1861fee2920cb7fa2cde969e75377c3ee31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 19:47:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] docs(api-reference): describe what each endpoint gives, not what it lacks Rewrites the API reference pages for an outside developer: every "there is no X" and "not emitted, do not build on it" becomes the thing to use instead, cost estimates become "pays gas at the network's current gas price", and the "legacy" labels on live fields are gone. The debug failed-transactions endpoint and the non-production Swagger note are removed; both are operator internals.
