Ular Kimsanov a06fdfe26e docs(catalog): put each item page's title, description and Docs text in the server HTML (#6711)
* docs(catalog): put each item page's title, description and Docs text in the server HTML

Mintlify renders snippet components in the browser only, so everything inside
CatalogDetail (title, standfirst, the Docs tab) was missing from the HTML search
engines read: 448 catalog pages served Googlebot no body text. The generator now
writes the H1 and standfirst as page markup above the component and the Docs tab
as page markup after it, shown with that tab (docs/custom.css). The component no
longer draws its own title. Pages patched structurally only; registry drift on 14
pages is left for a regeneration of its own.

* docs(catalog): keep the title's top spacing the component gave it

* fix(docs): catalog titles and descriptions keep markdown markers literal

MDX reads text inside the static <h1> and <p> as inline markdown, so @_blue_sweater_
rendered as italic blue_sweater. mdxText now writes backslash, backtick, * _ [ ] ~ as
character references too, with a unit test; the four affected pages are re-escaped.

<!--
Streaming Text - AI-answer token-flow primitive.
Paste the markup, CSS and script into a composition. Use the timeline
integration note at the bottom as the starting point for deterministic GSAP
animation.
This is not a typewriter. A typewriter is even; an AI answer arrives in
bursts - two words together, a pause, three more. The GAPS table in the
integration note is that rhythm, measured word-by-word from reference
footage of a real streamed answer, and each word lands grey and inks to
full colour over 0.27s, the way fresh tokens read before the eye settles.
Wrap each word in a span with class "w". The script only styles; the
timeline recipe reveals.
Variables. The script reads each one, falls back to the declared default on
anything missing or unrecognised, and writes the result as a custom property
the CSS below consumes.
- size (18 to 64, default 27, in px): type size.
- tone (dark-on-light | light-on-dark, default dark-on-light): the ink
pair. Fresh-token grey is chosen to sit between the two.
On every default the result matches the measured reference: 27px ink on a
light chat ground.

## Paste it into your composition
Open `compositions/components/streaming-text.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.
The file opens with a comment header that walks you through it.
A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.
## Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:
| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `size` | `27` | 18px to 64px, step 1px | Type size of the streamed words. |
| `tone` | `dark-on-light` | `dark-on-light`, `light-on-dark` | Ink pair: dark words on a light ground, or light words on a dark ground. |
Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
```html wrap
<div
data-composition-id="streaming-text"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/streaming-text.html"
data-variable-values='{"size":27,"tone":"dark-on-light"}'
></div>
```
