I would implement OpenAPI documentation by defining a single source of truth for all backend routes using an OpenAPI spec (YAML/JSON), then integrating it with the backend so schemas, request/response models, and authentication rules are automatically reflected. I would ensure the spec is kept in sync via annotations or decorators in code, generate interactive docs (e.g., Swagger UI), and add CI checks to prevent undocumented or outdated endpoints from being merged.
