+Python script that appends **shared types** documentation (e.g. CEL expression) to the generated API reference markdown. It parses Go source in kgateway’s shared and agentgateway packages, finds broken type links in the API doc, and appends markdown for those types so crd-ref-docs output is complete. The workflow runs it after writing the API doc:

 To add a new doc version (e.g. 2.4.x), add an entry to `versions.json` with the appropriate `apiFile`, `kgatewayRef`, and `metricsSnippet`, then run the workflow with that version.
