Fern API Documentation

Capability area (CLI/platform) that builds a hosted documentation website with a generated API reference, interactive API playground, changelogs, versioning, keyword search, and docs-as-code (Markdown + git) authoring. Driven by `fern generate --docs` and `fern docs dev`. Endpoints are modeled from the CLI and platform surface rather than a public REST API.

Not an API. Fern publishes no API for this. It is a product area, listed for completeness, and it is not counted in the provider's API total.
