[Doc] Document deprecated APIs using @deprecated tag (patterns-ai-core#991)

This change adds the `@deprecated` YARD tag to several classes and methods.

This makes it possible to explicitly mark the API as deprecated in the YARD documentation.
It also updates inline references from backtick-style (`name`) to the link-style (`{name}`) for
improved documentation rendering.
