Subject: [PATCH] docs: replace exhaustive endpoint table with pattern examples
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The API guidelines doc is about conventions, not an endpoint catalog.
Replace the 61-row table with a pattern table showing the nesting
conventions, and point readers to the OpenAPI spec for the full list.
