Since daf_base is low in the dependency tree and dominated by C++ APIs, it is an excellent candidate for exploring Sphinx-based package documenation for C++ with breathe and doxygen. We will also see how astropy’s automodsumm sphinx extension works with SWIG’d Python APIs.

This prototype will build upon the system developed in DM-7094.

Lessons from this prototype will be fed into a "Pipelines Documentation Implementation Planning" tech note in a follow-up ticket.
