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.
