Description

Frontend requests should be refactored to either be htmx calls or go through the jsonRpc api. This will reduce a ton of code duplication inside of the api/ module.

Research direction
Examine the api/ module in the Leantime codebase to identify all frontend HTTP calls that currently target /api/* endpoints. Review the existing jsonRpc API implementation and htmx usage patterns in the project. The issue's comments (see https://github.com/Leantime/leantime/issues/2936) may provide additional guidance. Determine which calls should be converted to htmx and which to jsonRpc, and plan incremental updates.
