Subject: [PATCH] Refactor BaseCrudApi to use generic type parameters

BaseCrudApi is now defined as BaseCrudApi<TCreate, TUpdate, TDelete>,
with each CRUD method using its respective type parameter. This
improves type safety and clarity for API payloads. Method signatures
and XML documentation have been updated accordingly.
