Research direction

Start by comparing the latest rclcpp Doxygen output at the linked API pages, checking whether GenericSubscription and similar classes are absent from the class index. Trace the documentation-generation configuration used for rclcpp and confirm that the missing classes appear in a regenerated output; done means the classes are documented and indexed.
