Fix API Reference page not rendering properly

[Copilot]

Problem

The API Reference page was not rendering properly due to a missing docs/api_reference.md file. When users visited the documentation site and clicked on the "API Reference" link, they encountered a broken link instead of proper documentation with CSS styling.

Root Cause

The docs/index.md file referenced api_reference.md but this file didn't exist in the repository, causing:

• mkdocs build warnings about missing documentation files
• Broken navigation links in the documentation site
• 404 errors when users tried to access the API Reference section

Solution

Created a comprehensive docs/api_reference.md file that documents the complete Optics Framework API, including:

Core API Modules

• ActionKeyword: Element interaction, form controls, scrolling/swiping, text input
• Verifier: Element validation and assertion methods
• FlowControl: Loops, conditions, data handling operations
• AppManagement: Application lifecycle management

REST API Endpoints

• Session management (POST /v1/sessions/start, DELETE /v1/sessions/{id}/stop)
• Action execution (POST /v1/sessions/{id}/action)
• Data retrieval (screenshot, elements, page source)
• Event streaming (Server-Sent Events)

Documentation Features

• Complete method signatures with parameter descriptions
• JSON request/response examples for REST endpoints
• Python code usage examples for each API module
• Self-healing features documentation
• Error handling and integration notes

Testing

• ✅ mkdocs builds successfully without API reference warnings
• ✅ API Reference page renders with proper Material Design CSS styling
• ✅ All navigation links work correctly
• ✅ Table of contents is properly generated with nested sections
• ✅ Code blocks and syntax highlighting display correctly

Screenshot

The API Reference page now displays comprehensive documentation for all framework APIs with proper styling, navigation, and formatting.

Fixes #95.

ideally I would like to all API reference to also have a sample usage

[malto101]

This is no way to use
ideal usage is through optics.py
As this is supposed to be a pip package

the user is supposed to

from optics_framework import Optics

optics = Optics()
optics.setup(add the config)

optics.press_element(parameter)
