All reference/functions/*.md files are empty except ta.md

First, thanks for this great project! Noticed this issue and had Gemini do a quick fix for me and here's the details of the issue and resolution. Hope it helps!

From Gemini:

Title: 🐛 Bug: Most files in reference/functions/ are empty

Description:
I noticed that while reference/functions/ta.md is populated correctly, the other documentation files in the reference/functions/ directory (specifically collections.md, drawing.md, request.md, strategy.md, and general.md) are currently empty or contain only newlines.

This breaks the intended usage for LLM context retrieval, as queries regarding strategies or drawings return no reference material.

Current Behavior:

• reference/functions/ta.md: Populated
• reference/functions/strategy.md: Empty
• reference/functions/drawing.md: Empty
• reference/functions/collections.md: Empty
• reference/functions/request.md: Empty

Suggested Fix:
It appears the build step responsible for chunking pinescriptv6reference.md into the smaller files failed or was skipped.

I wrote a Python script that correctly parses the master pinescriptv6reference.md file and distributes the functions into the categories defined in your README. You can drop this script into the root of the repo and run it to regenerate the files.
