John McLear 40fe8a4c23 chore(admin): gitignore generated schema/version, regen on every script (#7638)
Qodo flagged the committed admin/src/api/schema.d.ts as a build artifact
that violates the rule against committing generated files (rule 467291,
"Exclude build artifacts and runtime-generated files from version control").

This commit:
- Adds admin/src/api/{schema.d.ts,version.ts} to .gitignore.
- Removes both from VCS (the prior squash had committed them).
- Chains \`gen:api\` into the dev and test scripts so a fresh checkout
  lands a working dev server / test run without an extra step. build
  and build-copy already chained gen:api.
- Drops the now-redundant CI freshness diff step from
  frontend-admin-tests.yml — with the files no longer committed, the
  build step's gen:api invocation is the only check needed.
- Updates admin/README.md to describe the new generated-file workflow.

Admin UI

Vite + React 19 single-page app served at /admin. Talks to the backend over socket.io for the existing settings / plugins / pads pages, and (when endpoints are added to the OpenAPI spec) over a typed REST client.

Scripts

Script What it does
pnpm dev gen:api + Vite dev server (expects backend on :9001).
pnpm gen:api Regenerates src/api/{schema.d.ts,version.ts} from the OpenAPI spec.
pnpm build gen:api + tsc + vite build.
pnpm build-copy Same, but writes into ../src/templates/admin.
pnpm test gen:api + smoke tests for the API client wiring.
pnpm lint ESLint.

Typed API client

The admin uses openapi-typescript to generate types from src/node/hooks/express/openapi.ts, openapi-fetch for typed requests, and openapi-react-query for TanStack Query bindings.

Generated files

admin/src/api/schema.d.ts and admin/src/api/version.ts are generated by gen:api and gitignored — never commit them. They are produced by:

pnpm --filter admin gen:api

admin/scripts/gen-api.mjs loads src/node/hooks/express/openapi.ts, calls generateDefinitionForVersion for the latest API version, pipes the JSON through openapi-typescript to produce schema.d.ts, and emits a runtime constant LATEST_API_VERSION (read from info.version in the spec) to version.ts so client.ts can build the right /api/<version>/ baseUrl.

gen:api runs as the first step of dev, build, build-copy, and test, so a fresh checkout produces the generated files automatically when any of those scripts is invoked. After modifying any of the following, the next pnpm <dev|build|test> will refresh the generated files; you can also run gen:api directly:

  • src/node/hooks/express/openapi.ts
  • src/node/handler/APIHandler.ts (changes to latestApiVersion)
  • the resource definitions referenced by openapi.ts

Using the client

import { $api } from './api/client';

const SettingsPanel = () => {
  const { data } = $api.useQuery('get', '/admin/settings'); // example
  return <pre>{JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}</pre>;
};

The admin endpoints are not yet present in the OpenAPI spec — this client is in place to support upcoming work (see issue #7638 follow-up). For now, it is exercised only by the smoke test.
