Subject: [PATCH] refactor(api): replace hardcoded URLs with dynamic URL
 generation

Replace hardcoded localhost URLs (http://127.0.0.1:8000) in API root
endpoint documentation with request.build_absolute_uri() calls. This
makes the API documentation URLs environment-agnostic and ensures they
reflect the actual domain/host being used to access the API, improving
portability across development, staging, and production environments.
