The FastAPI application metadata is updated with a more detailed title and comprehensive description covering authentication flows, endpoint categories, WebSocket events, rate limits, and standardized error responses, along with OpenAPI documentation configuration and contact/license information. Module-level documentation is added to backend/app/api/bounties.py describing the bounty lifecycle state transitions, escrow flow, and tier system. A new comprehensive developer guide is introduced covering authentication flows with request/response examples, common bounty operations, API reference sections, WebSocket usage, rate limits, HTTP error codes, and SDK examples for JavaScript/TypeScript and Python.

Hello SolFoundry team,

I submitted PR #233 for the Enhanced API Documentation bounty (Issue #195). The PR added comprehensive developer documentation including FastAPI metadata, bounty API docs, and developer guide.

Unfortunately it was auto-rejected due to missing "Closes #N" link. My work is complete and valid:
✅ Enhanced FastAPI metadata
✅ Bounty API documentation
✅ Developer guide with examples

Wallet: Eud4bLR7sjwUviGkSA9w8Wg4PYY1api3Ybrjtsat3J4G

Could you please release the bounty? I can resubmit if needed.

Thank you!
