docs(webhooks): developer-experience polish

[Yan Xue (yanxue06)]

• Add curl/JS/Python tabs to register/list/delete endpoints
• Reframe delivery contract to lead with retry strength, not edge cases
• Surface dashboard as a first-class peer of the API
• Drop misleading TypeTooltip blocks showing methods that aren't in the payload
• Small fixes: stale descriptions, redundant cards, dense single-row tables

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Five webhook documentation files are updated to improve developer clarity and multi-language accessibility. The overview is restructured, event payload types are clarified using plain JSON literals instead of component references, management API examples are expanded to include JavaScript and Python alongside curl, and the delivery contract explanation is reformatted as a bullet-point list.

Changes

Webhook Documentation Improvements

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Webhook overview and management guidance webhooks/overview.mdx	The "Three ways to manage webhooks" section replaces a <Tip> wrapper with a dedicated subsection; the events listing removes the table and compresses the content to a single sentence mentioning the messages event payload shape; the "where to next" cards are updated to a new set with revised titles, icons, and body text.
Webhook event payload type documentation docs-src/webhooks/events.mdx.vel	Top-level guidance clarifies that webhook payload types reflect JSON-serialized wire shapes rather than SDK interface signatures. The event: "messages" payload field types, Space section guidance, and Message section field descriptions all replace TypeTooltip-rendered type signatures with plain { id, platform } object literals.
Webhook management API examples webhooks/managing-webhooks.mdx	The webhook registration, listing, and deletion endpoint sections each replace single-language curl snippets with CodeGroup blocks that include curl, JavaScript (fetch / DELETE), and Python (httpx) request examples, while preserving all response shapes and behavioral notes.
Webhook delivery contract and verification webhooks/delivery.mdx, webhooks/verifying-signatures.mdx	The delivery page restructures the retry/acknowledgement contract as a "at a glance" bullet-point breakdown covering retry limits, status-code handling, timeout behavior, and at-least-once semantics. The verification page metadata is updated to list Node, Bun, Python, and Go.

Poem

🐰 TypeTooltips vanish like morning dew,
Plain JSON shapes now shine through and through!
Multi-tongue examples bloom in the light—
Webhook docs crystallize, oh what a sight! 🌟

Pull request overview

Documentation polish for the Spectrum webhooks guide: improves the developer experience by adding multi-language code samples for management endpoints, restructuring the delivery contract around its strengths, promoting the dashboard as a first-class management surface, and removing TypeTooltip references whose extracted SDK signatures (containing methods like .send()) didn't match the actual JSON-serialized webhook payloads.

Changes:

• Add <CodeGroup> curl/JavaScript/Python tabs to register/list/delete webhook examples in managing-webhooks.mdx.
• Replace the dense single-paragraph delivery contract with a 5-bullet "at a glance" summary and reorder for retry-strength framing.
• Replace TypeTooltip references in events.mdx.vel with literal { id, platform } shapes that reflect the on-the-wire payload, and reframe the overview's three management surfaces (Tip → section, table → prose, Where-to-next cards trimmed).
