rule: when find any

.route("/apps/<uuid:app_id>/messages/<uuid:message_id>")

Contributor guide

Research direction
The issue requires finding all Flask route decorators in the codebase that use `uuid:` or `string:` as parameter prefixes, such as `/<uuid:app id>`. For each such route, add type annotations to the function parameters (e.g., `app id: UUID`) and ensure the route converter is properly typed. Focus on API endpoint files, likely under `api/` directory. Check existing type hints in similar routes for consistency.
