xref #62437
Description
This PR replaces the @appender decorator with an inline docstring for the DataFrame.groupby() method as part of the effort to remove dynamic docstring generation in pandas.
Changes Made
Removed @appender(_shared_docs["groupby"]) decorator from DataFrame.groupby() in pandas/core/frame.py
Inlined the complete docstring directly into the method definition
No functional changes - only documentation improvement
Why This Change?
As described in #62437, removing these decorators:
Reduces indirection and improves code clarity for new contributors
Allows docstring standardization rules from Ruff to apply
Makes docstrings more maintainable
Testing
Verified pandas imports successfully
Confirmed DataFrame.groupby() functionality works correctly
Checked docstring renders properly
