Research direction

Start by reading parent issue #97, the rust-ci action, and tools/changed-crates.py to understand how changed crates map to frontends. Then inspect the gen-api declaration, generator configuration, and existing workflow files mentioned by the repository. Done means the CI check skips unrelated PRs, runs for affected frontends or all frontends when shared inputs change, catches an unregenerated schema change, and runs for every frontend on main.

Description

ready-for-agent

Parent

#97

What to build

CI fails a PR whose committed specs or generated clients differ from what gen-api produces. A new workflow runs gen-api and requires an empty git diff. On PRs it runs only for frontends whose backend crate or its workspace dependencies changed (reusing tools/changed-crates.py, like the rust-ci action), or whose declaration, the shared script or the generator config changed. On main it runs for every frontend.

Acceptance criteria

  • Deliberately changing a handler's schema without regenerating turns the check red; reverting turns it green
  • A PR touching nothing gen-api-relevant skips the generation
  • Changing the shared script or generator config runs it for all frontends
  • On main the check runs for every frontend and is green
