Closes #3224.

The problem

Every schemas.md this repo generates produces a documentation page whose table of contents is the word "Properties", repeated once per schema — 74 entries for the Gateway Controller, 123 for the Platform API, 53 for the API Portal. No schema names, and no way to navigate to one.

tools/apidocs/widdershins_templates/main.dot:56 emits each schema name as raw HTML:

<h2 id="tocS_{{=s}}">{{=s}}</h2>

Python-Markdown's toc extension only indexes headings it parses from Markdown; raw HTML passes straight through. So the names never reach the TOC. The docs site renders with toc_depth: 3, which leaves ### Properties (line 94) as the only heading still in range inside each schema block — and that is what fills the sidebar.

The fix

Three lines in main.dot:

Line From To
56 <h2 id="tocS_{{=s}}">{{=s}}</h2> ## {{=s}}
94 ### Properties #### Properties
109 #### Enumerated Values ##### Enumerated Values

The demotions aren't cosmetic. Leaving Properties at ### keeps it inside toc_depth: 3, so instead of one repeated entry you'd get a Properties child hanging off every schema. Enumerated Values moves with it so it stays a subsection of Properties rather than becoming its sibling.

Then regenerated all three components with make generate-apidocs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR normalizes schema heading syntax across three REST API documentation sets and adds schema links to their README table-of-contents sections.

Changes

REST API documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize schema headings
docs/rest-apis/*/schemas.md
Schema titles use ##, property sections use ####, and enumerated-value sections use #####. Schema content remains unchanged.
Add schema table-of-contents links
docs/rest-apis/*/README.md
The API Portal, Gateway, and Platform API README files link to their documented schema definitions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7522c

The change improves navigation in generated REST API documentation, but the generated schema headings need a consistent markdownlint exception across the API Portal, Gateway, and Platform API pages to prevent future regeneration-related lint failures. The PR is otherwise mergeable with this follow-up.
