Export an Airtable data dictionary as Markdown

Produce a Markdown data dictionary for an Airtable base: every table, every field, its type, its configuration and its description, with a contents list and the ER diagram as a fenced Mermaid block. Formulas are printed with real field names rather than the field IDs Airtable's API returns, so the document is readable without cross-referencing anything.
