SnapOtter 8532f3227b docs: audit all 157 tool pages against live schemas
Reconcile every tool page's parameters, defaults, and response shape against the tool's Zod settings schema and executionHint in code. Notable fixes: color-palette (add count + format params, hex output, median-cut algorithm), favicon (add 5 params, was documented as having none), qr-generate (add logoDataUri), convert (add ppm/eps/tga formats), video-loudnorm (-16 LUFS not -14), smart-crop (async 202 not sync 200), images-to-video (1080x1080 square), and several output-filename and behavior-note corrections.

Also normalize API endpoint paths to /api/v1/tools/<id> (no modality segment) and standardize curl examples on the Docker API port 1349. Verified with a clean docs build.

# Compress
Reduce image file size by specifying a quality level or a target file size in kilobytes. The tool uses iterative binary search to hit size targets accurately.
## API Endpoint
`POST /api/v1/tools/compress`
Accepts multipart form data with an image file and a JSON `settings` field.
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| mode | string | No | `"quality"` | Compression mode: `quality` or `targetSize` |
| quality | number | No | `80` | Quality level (1-100). Used when mode is `quality`. |
| targetSizeKb | number | No | - | Target file size in kilobytes. Used when mode is `targetSize`. |
## Example Request
Compress to quality 60:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/compress \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@photo.jpg" \
-F 'settings={"mode": "quality", "quality": 60}'
```
Compress to target size of 200 KB:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/compress \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@photo.jpg" \
-F 'settings={"mode": "targetSize", "targetSizeKb": 200}'
```
## Example Response
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/photo.jpg",
"originalSize": 2450000,
"processedSize": 204800
}
```
## Notes
- In `quality` mode, lower values produce smaller files with more compression artifacts. A value of 80 is a good default for web use.
- In `targetSize` mode, the engine performs iterative compression to get as close to the target as possible without exceeding it.
- Output format matches the input format. The compression applies to the format's native encoding (e.g. JPEG quality for JPEG files, WebP quality for WebP files).
- If the default quality (80) is acceptable, you can omit the `quality` parameter entirely.
