Generate a ShadowTraffic configuration to populate a Kafka topic with realistic synthetic data. Discovers the target topic, its key and value schemas, and the correct serializers from the live cluster via any attached Kafka MCP server, then writes a ready-to-run shadowtraffic-config.json and Docker command. Use when the user says "populate my Kafka topic with test data", "set up ShadowTraffic for topic X", "generate synthetic events into my topic", "I need fake data flowing into Kafka", "seed my topic with data", or "mock data for my Kafka topic". Do NOT use for creating topics, reviewing schemas, or building Kafka consumers.
