OpenAPI spec

The AI Gateway OpenAPI spec is generated from the ai-runner repository via gen_openapi.py and output as openapi_gateway.json. The spec is used to auto-generate all three AI SDK language variants. The live interactive reference for the AI API is mounted in the Gateways tab documentation at /v2/gateways/resources/reference/technical/api-reference/AI-API/ai.
