Add API endpoint documentation page

[Copilot]

Created a centralized API reference page documenting endpoints for all 9 service modules (Ship Agencies, Port Captaincy, Crew Supply, Supply Services, Ship Repairs, Customs Clearance, Underwater Services, Husbanding, Tank Cleaning).

Changes

• New view: Views/Home/ApiGuide.cshtml - API documentation with endpoint tables, response format examples, and Swagger UI links
• Controller: Added ApiGuide() action in HomeController
• Navigation: Added "API Guide" button to home page hero section

Implementation

The guide uses color-coded Bootstrap cards per module with tables showing HTTP methods, endpoint paths, and descriptions:

<div class="card mb-4 shadow-sm">
  <div class="card-header bg-primary text-white">
    <h4>Ship Agencies API</h4>
  </div>
  <div class="card-body">
    <table class="table">
      <!-- GET /api/ShipAgenciesApi - Get all ship agencies -->
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

Accessible via /Home/ApiGuide or the new button on the home page.

This link opens a new tab (target="_blank") but is missing rel="noopener noreferrer", which can allow the opened page to access window.opener. Add the appropriate rel attributes when using target="_blank".

The guide documents /api/PortCaptainsApi, but there is no corresponding API controller/route in the current codebase (only ShipAgenciesApiController exists under Controllers/api). Either implement the missing endpoint(s) or adjust the documentation to only list actually available routes (or clearly mark planned modules).

[Copilot]

The guide documents /api/TankCleaningRequestsApi, but there is no corresponding API controller/route in the current codebase. Either implement the missing endpoint(s) or update the documentation to match the actual routes exposed by the app.

Suggested change

	<td><span class="badge bg-success">GET</span></td>
	<td><code>/api/TankCleaningRequestsApi</code></td>
	<td>Get all tank cleaning requests</td>
	<td><span class="badge bg-secondary">N/A</span></td>
	<td><code>Not available</code></td>
	<td>Tank Cleaning API endpoints are not currently implemented. Refer to Swagger (<code>/swagger</code>) for available APIs.</td>

Decorative Bootstrap icons inside headings (e.g., this one) are read by some screen readers as content. Consider adding aria-hidden="true" to purely decorative <i> icons (or providing an accessible name when the icon conveys meaning).

This new navigation link is hard-coded as an absolute path (/Home/ApiGuide). Using MVC tag helpers (asp-controller/asp-action) avoids issues when the app is hosted under a path base or when routes change, and it matches the navigation style used in _Layout.cshtml.

Suggested change

	<a href="/Home/ApiGuide" class="btn btn-outline-info btn-lg me-2">API Guide</a>
	<a asp-controller="Home" asp-action="ApiGuide" class="btn btn-outline-info btn-lg me-2">API Guide</a>

The guide documents /api/UnderwaterServicesApi, but there is no corresponding API controller/route in the current codebase. Either implement the missing endpoint(s) or update the documentation to match the actual routes exposed by the app.

Suggested change

	<td><code>/api/UnderwaterServicesApi</code></td>
	<td>Get all underwater service requests</td>
	<td><span class="badge bg-secondary">TBD</span></td>
	<td><code>TBD</code></td>
	<td>Endpoint for underwater service requests is planned and not yet available.</td>

The displayed Base URL is hard-coded to http://localhost:5145/api, which will be incorrect when the app runs on a different host/port (or under HTTPS / a reverse proxy). Consider showing a relative base (/api) or deriving the scheme/host at runtime so the guide stays accurate across environments.

Suggested change

	<strong>Base URL:</strong> <code>http://localhost:5145/api</code><br>
	<strong>Base URL:</strong> <code>@($"{Context.Request.Scheme}://{Context.Request.Host}/api")</code><br>
