Description

Add versioning to rest api docs and python client docs

Versioning is built into redocly - https://redocly.com/docs/realm/content/versions and built into material for mkdocs (used for autogeneration) https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-versioning/

This would require 1. Going back into previous releases and generating the docs for them 2. Creating a hook to generate static docs when a new release is made 3. Creating an automatic method for removing/marking depreciated documentation for versions that are no longer supported

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing REST API and Python client documentation, along with the versioning guidance for Redocly and Material for MkDocs linked in the issue. Define how previous releases are generated, how new releases trigger static documentation builds, and how unsupported versions are removed or marked deprecated; done means all three workflows are automated and documented.
