## 🔧 Technical Achievements
### Authentication Solution
- **Problem**: Classic API returned 401 with Basic Auth header
- **Solution**: Use Bearer token (obtained via Basic Auth) for Classic API
- **Result**: Full API coverage (Modern + Classic)
### Script Code Integration
- **Achievement**: Script source code embedded in policy documentation
- **Format**: Syntax-highlighted code blocks
- **Context**: Shows scripts with their policies
### Cross-References
- **Scripts → Policies**: "Used By" section in scripts handbook
- **Policies → Scripts**: Embedded code in policies handbook
- **Policies → Groups**: Scope and exclusion links
- **Searchable**: Alphabetical indexes with anchor links
### Documentation Quality
- **Comprehensive**: Every detail captured
- **Readable**: Operations manual format
- **Navigable**: Table of contents and indexes
- **Exportable**: PDF-ready markdown
- **Maintainable**: Regenerate anytime with one command
