Background

The frontend manually maintains API call functions that can drift from the backend API contract. Auto-generating the TypeScript client from the FastAPI OpenAPI spec eliminates this drift.

What to do

  • Add a script (e.g., using openapi-typescript or openapi-generator) that fetches the OpenAPI spec from the running backend and generates a typed TypeScript client.
  • Integrate this step into the CI workflow (generate and verify no diff, or commit generated files).
  • Replace manual fetch calls in the frontend with the generated client where practical.

Acceptance criteria

  • Running npm run generate-api (or equivalent) produces a typed TypeScript client from the current OpenAPI spec.
  • CI fails if the generated client is out of date with the spec.
  • At least the core analysis and job endpoints are consumed via the generated client.

Triage (Repo Manager):

Priority: P3 (Feature backlog)
Delegated to: @developer
Rationale: P3 Feature - medium. Auto-generate TS API client from OpenAPI spec. CI integration task.

P3 features are queued behind P1 and P2 work. Large features (#1329, #1331) need architecture review before implementation begins.

Triaged by repo manager: Already resolved. frontend/package.json includes openapi-typescript. frontend/src/api/schema.d.ts contains the generated types. CI checks freshness. Closing.
