Schema upgrade — richer model parameter docs

Model parameter schemas now come from a more structured upstream source. As a result, every image / video endpoint now ships with:
  • Enum dropdowns for size, resolution, quality — Playground renders select boxes instead of free-text inputs.
  • Default values shown next to each field (e.g. seedance-2-0.resolution defaults to 720P).
  • Conditional rules spelled out where they apply — e.g. on minimax-hailuo-02 the resolution field now documents the three rules that constrain it (duration, first_frame_image, last_frame_image).
  • Field ordering reflects how parameters are typically filled in, not alphabetical.
  • gpt-image-2 — previously missing the required model field in the schema; now present.

Chat endpoints — removed unsupported params

temperature, top_p, and top_k have been removed from both /chat/completions and /messages. Claude 4.x rejects these parameters with HTTP 400 — documenting them was misleading. The final accepted parameter sets:
  • OpenAI Chat Completions: model, messages, stream, max_tokens, stop
  • Anthropic Messages: model, messages, max_tokens, system, stream, stop_sequences

Docs site refresh

Visual overhaul to match standard dev-docs density — switched to Mintlify’s maple theme (three-column layout with persistent code panel on endpoint pages), DM Sans typography, tighter body and sidebar sizing.
