Swagger Example Improvements - Complete JSON

Problem Identified

The Swagger documentation did not show a complete example of the JSON returned by the API; it only showed the data type structure without a real response example.

Solution Implemented

The Swagger documentation was updated to include complete JSON examples that show exactly what the API returns.

Changes Made

1. Organizer API (`/api/v1/organizer/participants`)

File: app/Http/Controllers/Api/Organizer/ParticipantsController.php
Improvement: Added a complete JSON example with @OA\JsonContent(example={...})

2. Supervisor API (`/api/v1/supervisor/participants`)

File: app/Http/Controllers/Api/Supervisor/ParticipantsController.php
Improvement: Added a complete JSON example with @OA\JsonContent(example={...})
