Adds tools/api_audit.py, a read-only static audit of the public API surface,
and docs/api-audit.md, its first run against this revision.
The audit answers three questions the reference cannot answer about itself:
1. Does every declared export exist, have a docstring, and appear in
docs/api.md? It reads the root __all__ plus each submodule's __all__.
2. How complete is each public definition? Docstring presence, detected
docstring convention, parameter and return annotations.
3. Which public names do examples and tests actually use but the reference
never explains? That set is the real documentation gap.
It parses with ast and never imports the package, so it costs no numpy/cv2
import and cannot be affected by the environment.
Findings on this revision (full detail in docs/api-audit.md):
- 393 public classes/methods/functions; 65% have a docstring, 32% have a fully
annotated signature, 38 document their return value.
- 243 docstrings are unstructured prose, 137 are absent, 13 use Google or NumPy
sections. There is effectively one convention: none.
- 9 of the 18 root exports are absent from docs/api.md, including
StreamPipeline, StreamRecorder, mosaic_videos and FFCFrameProcessor - the
pipelined multi-stream and offline-recording paths.
- Six sub-surfaces have zero coverage in the reference: unroll (18 exports),
capture (17), hhd + solvers (7), pipeline (3), export (2).
- 74 names are used by examples or tests but absent from the reference.
- 21 public classes are exported nowhere; LowpassFilter is documented in
docs/api.md and importable, but declared in no __all__.
No behaviour change: a new tool and a new document, no source file touched.
