What

bun run typecheck now regenerates src/api-types.d.ts before it compiles, and the standalone generate step in ci-cli is removed. Generation lives in exactly one place: the typecheck script in package.json.

Why

src/api-types.d.ts is generated from contract/openapi.json and deliberately not committed. Checks A and C in src/api-contract.ts are compile-time comparisons against it — and when the file is absent they do not fail loudly. Every published shape resolves to never, and the compiler reports ~168 errors across api-contract.ts, api.ts, api-wire.ts, commands.ts and verticals.ts, all of them about code that is correct.

That is exactly what it looks like from a developer's terminal:

src/commands.ts:2962:39 - error TS2339: Property 'siteCode' does not exist on type 'Partial<Record<never, string>>'.
Found 168 errors in 5 files.

Nothing in that output points at a missing generated file, so the natural reading is "the branch is broken" or "my tsconfig is wrong" — while CI is green on the same commit.

Only ci-cli was protected, by a step that ran api-types:generate ahead of the typecheck. Two callers were not:

  • release-cli typechecks at tag time with no generate step, relying entirely on postinstall.
  • A developer's terminal, whenever postinstall did not run — a cache hit, --ignore-scripts, or a git clean -xfd.

How

Moving generation into the script means every caller inherits it: ci-cli, release-cli, bun run check, the husky pre-commit stanza, and a plain terminal.

The ci-cli step is removed rather than kept alongside. A second copy is a second thing to keep in step, and the lane that carries one silently diverges from the lane that does not — which is the bug this PR is fixing, one level up.

&&, not ;: a failed generation must not be typechecked past.

Cost

0.36s to generate. The pre-commit typecheck stanza goes from ~0.32s warm to ~0.7s; its comment is updated to say so and why it is not worth trimming.

Guardrails

scripts/ci-contract-drift.test.ts asserts the new shape, so a future tidy-up cannot quietly undo it:

  • the typecheck script generates before it compiles, with && rather than ;
  • ci-cli carries no standalone generate step, and its Typecheck step is plain bun run typecheck
  • release-cli likewise — this is the lane that had no protection at all before

Reverting the package.json line turns the first of those red, verified locally.

Verification

  • bun run lint — clean
  • rm src/api-types.d.ts && bun run typecheck — regenerates and exits 0, which is the failure this PR removes
  • bun run test — 1671 pass, 0 fail

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Updated the type-checking workflow so API types are regenerated automatically before validation.
    • Streamlined continuous integration and release checks by using the same type-checking process consistently.
    • Clarified pre-commit guidance regarding type-checking runtime and automatic type generation.
  • Tests

    • Enhanced contract checks to verify that generated API types are current and that validation workflows follow the standardized process.

`src/api-types.d.ts` is generated from `contract/openapi.json` and is not
committed. Checks A and C in `src/api-contract.ts` are compile-time comparisons
against it, and when the file is absent they do not fail loudly - every
published shape resolves to `never` and the compiler reports ~168 errors about
code that is correct.

Only `ci-cli` was protected, by a standalone step that ran `api-types:generate`
ahead of the typecheck. The release lane typechecks with no such step, and a
developer whose install skipped `postinstall` - a cache hit, `--ignore-scripts`,
a `git clean -xfd` - gets the full wall of phantom errors and no hint that a
generated file is missing.

Move the generation into the `typecheck` script, so every caller inherits it:
ci-cli, release-cli, `bun run check`, the husky pre-commit stanza and a plain
terminal now compile against types regenerated from the vendored contract. The
standalone ci-cli step is removed rather than kept - a second copy is a second
thing to keep in step, and the lane that has one diverges from the lane that
does not.

Cost is 0.36s, on a check that was 0.32s warm and is now ~0.7s.

`scripts/ci-contract-drift.test.ts` asserts the new shape: the script generates
before it compiles, `&&` rather than `;`, and neither workflow carries a
generate step of its own.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

API type generation now runs inside the shared typecheck script. CI, release workflows, and the pre-commit documentation use this path. Contract tests verify ordering and workflow usage.

Changes

Shared API typecheck flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared typecheck contract
package.json, .github/workflows/ci-cli.yml, .husky/pre-commit
typecheck generates src/api-types.d.ts before running TypeScript. CI no longer has a standalone generation step. Pre-commit comments document the shared behavior.
Workflow contract validation
scripts/ci-contract-drift.test.ts
Contract tests verify generation ordering, failure-propagating sequencing, CI use of bun run typecheck, and release workflow use without separate generation steps.

The current script is correct, but its regression test does not protect the required failure behavior. Tighten the assertion before merging so future script edits cannot silently bypass failed API type generation.

…klist

The regression guard added alongside the shared typecheck script asserted
`&&` by refusing the single string `; bunx`. A blacklist only refuses the
separator its author thought of, so three worse spellings still passed -
`;bunx` with no space, a bare `&` that backgrounds the generation and lets
tsc race it, and a newline. So did `|| bunx`, which does not weaken the
guarantee but inverts it: tsc would run only when generation had failed.

Match the whole generate-to-bunx boundary with an anchored positive regex
instead. A new separator now has to be written into the assertion to pass,
rather than merely dodge it.

Proved by discriminating input: each of the four bypasses is accepted by the
old assertion and rejected by the new one, and flipping package.json to
`||` turns this test red.

…dundant

A four-lens review of this branch found that three of the deletions removed
something real, and that four comments claimed more than they could show. The
deletions are reverted with the bad argument kept beside them, because the
argument is the thing worth not making twice.

RESTORED

- `release-platform-coverage`: `runs on both platforms: <check>`. The removal
  argued it followed from two retained assertions. It follows only for a check
  that vanishes from ONE leg. For one deleted from the shared composite action -
  the likelier refactor - `hits` is empty and all three assertions pass
  vacuously: `offenders` collects nothing because nothing matches, the action is
  still called from both runners because the CALL survived, and the stage
  comparison reads `false === false`. Five of the ten checks have no other
  leg()-based backup in the file, so the proof would have evaporated in silence.

- `plugin-conformance`: `rejects an altered licence`. Cut as "asserting SHA-256
  is injective". Wrong subject: it guards THIS FILE's comparison, not the hash. A
  `licenseDigest` that ignored its argument, read the wrong path, or normalised
  too hard makes the digest pin pass on any bytes. It is the same vacuity guard
  the repo already keeps in `pinDrift` and in `workflow-lanes`' CODEOWNERS parse.

- `ci-contract-drift`: the `api-types:generate` literal. The `postinstall` and
  `api-contract:refresh` literals really were restatements, but this one is the
  only place that resolves what the script DOES - everything else merely checks
  that some other script mentions its name. Mutation-checked: point it at `echo
  noop` and this case is the only one that reds.

DROPPED

- `release-argv`: `ignores a stray --to on a publish`. The publish branch returns
  `["next"]` without reading argv, so it covered no branch the case above it did
  not, and `upload-release-blob.ts` refuses that shape before the router is
  reached. Its cost was the title: it read as the router defending against a
  stray `--to`, which could talk someone into relaxing the guard actually doing
  the work.

CORRECTED PROSE

- The actionlint/`action.yml` mechanism. Measured against the pinned 1.7.12: with
  no path arguments - what `ci-cli` passes - its discovery walks
  `.github/workflows/` only and never opens an action file at all. Handed one
  explicitly it reads it as a workflow and stops. Both keep the suite; the
  comment claimed only the second.
- "a file whose first statements open the Blob store", in three places. The old
  file's first statements are `const MANIFEST` and `const argv`. The true claim
  is that the module has no `import.meta.main` guard, so an import runs the
  publish.
- The `#88` rationale. `postinstall` runs on every install in every lane, so it
  was never lane-scoped; what it could not survive was an install that SKIPPED
  it. Reworded to the mechanism `ci-cli.yml` itself names.
- `.husky/pre-commit` stanza counts, re-measured: 48 / 153 / 28.

Suite: 1672 pass, 0 fail across 67 files.
