refactor: migrate storage endpoints to ts-rest (phase 5.1)

[e7h4n]

Summary

Begins Phase 5 of the ts-rest migration effort (Issue #1182) by migrating storage endpoints from generic get()/post() methods to type-safe ts-rest client implementations.

Changes

Storage Endpoints Migrated (3 methods)

• ✅ prepareStorage() → uses storagesPrepareContract
• ✅ commitStorage() → uses storagesCommitContract
• ✅ getStorageDownload() → uses storagesDownloadContract

Files Modified

• apps/cli/src/lib/api/api-client.ts

  • Added contracts imports: storagesPrepareContract, storagesCommitContract, storagesDownloadContract
  • Added 3 new typed methods following Phase 1-4 pattern
  • Each method creates ts-rest client, calls endpoint, checks status, returns typed response

• apps/cli/src/lib/storage/direct-upload.ts

  • Replaced apiClient.post("/api/storages/prepare") → apiClient.prepareStorage()
  • Replaced apiClient.post("/api/storages/commit") → apiClient.commitStorage()
  • Removed local PrepareResponse and CommitResponse interfaces (now defined by contracts)
  • Reduced code by 28 lines

• apps/cli/src/lib/storage/clone-utils.ts

  • Replaced apiClient.get("/api/storages/download") → apiClient.getStorageDownload()
  • Removed local DownloadResponse interface (now defined by contract)
  • Fixed TypeScript discriminated union type narrowing for empty storage case
  • Reduced code by 17 lines

Type Safety Improvements

• Runtime validation via Zod schemas in contracts
• Discriminated unions for success/error responses
• TypeScript compile-time type checking
• No more unsafe type assertions (as Type)

Testing

• All existing tests continue to pass (same public API)
• Type check passes: pnpm check-types
• Lint passes: pnpm lint

Next Steps (Remaining Phase 5)

This PR establishes the pattern. Remaining endpoints follow the same approach:

Schedule Endpoints (~6 usages):

• Convert /api/agent/schedules/* to use schedulesMainContract, etc.

Public API Endpoints (~8 usages):

• Convert /v1/agents/* to use publicAgentsListContract, etc.
• Convert /v1/artifacts/* to use publicArtifactsListContract, etc.
• Convert /v1/volumes/* to use publicVolumesListContract, etc.

Final Cleanup:

• Remove get(), post(), delete() generic methods once all usages migrated

All contracts are already available in @vm0/core.

Summary

This PR successfully begins Phase 5 of the ts-rest migration, converting 3 storage endpoints from generic methods to type-safe ts-rest clients with excellent consistency and quality.

What Changed

• ✅ 3 Storage Endpoints Migrated:

  • prepareStorage() using storagesPrepareContract
  • commitStorage() using storagesCommitContract
  • getStorageDownload() using storagesDownloadContract

• ✅ 2 Consumer Files Updated:

  • direct-upload.ts - switched from generic post() to typed methods
  • clone-utils.ts - switched from generic get() to getStorageDownload()

• ✅ 45 Lines Removed: Eliminated duplicate type definitions

Key Strengths

1. Perfect Pattern Consistency ⭐

All 3 new methods follow the exact same pattern established in Phases 1-4. This consistency makes the codebase highly maintainable.

2. Significant Type Safety Improvements

Before:

const response = await apiClient.post("/api/storages/prepare", {
  body: JSON.stringify({ storageName, storageType, files, force }),
});
if (!response.ok) { /* error handling */ }
const result = (await response.json()) as PrepareResponse; // Unsafe!

After:

const result = await apiClient.prepareStorage({
  storageName, storageType, files, force
});

Benefits:

• ✅ No manual JSON serialization/parsing
• ✅ No unsafe type assertions
• ✅ Runtime validation via Zod schemas
• ✅ Compile-time type checking

3. Excellent TypeScript Discriminated Union Handling

The getStorageDownload() method properly handles discriminated unions with correct type narrowing using the "empty" in downloadInfo pattern. This demonstrates strong TypeScript skills.

4. Code Reduction & DRY Principle

Removed 45 lines of duplicate type definitions:

• PrepareResponse (24 lines)
• CommitResponse (9 lines)
• DownloadResponse (8 lines)

Types are now centralized in @vm0/core contracts.

5. Zero Breaking Changes

• ✅ All public API signatures unchanged
• ✅ All 544 existing tests pass
• ✅ Perfect backward compatibility

6. Quick Issue Resolution

Lint error (14 unused imports) identified and fixed within 4 minutes. Demonstrates responsive development workflow.

2. Exceptional Pattern Consistency ⭐⭐⭐

All 18 methods follow the EXACT same pattern with zero deviations:

async methodName(params): Promise<ResponseType> {
  const baseUrl = await this.getBaseUrl();
  const headers = await this.getHeaders();

  const client = initClient(contract, {
    baseUrl,
    baseHeaders: headers,
    jsonQuery: true,
  });

  const result = await client.method(params);

  if (result.status === expectedStatus) {

Code Review Summary

Verdict: ✅ APPROVED

This PR completes Phase 5 of the ts-rest migration for the CLI, migrating remaining endpoints from raw fetch calls to type-safe ts-rest client methods.

Endpoints Migrated

• Storage: prepareStorage, commitStorage, getStorageDownload, listStorages
• Schedule: deploySchedule, listSchedules, getScheduleByName, deleteSchedule, enableSchedule, disableSchedule, listScheduleRuns
• Public API: listPublicAgents, listPublicArtifacts, getPublicArtifact, listPublicVolumes, getPublicVolume

Critical Bug Fix (fabaea2)

The ts-rest migration introduced a subtle bug where Content-Type: application/json was being sent on all requests, including bodyless GET and DELETE requests.

Root Cause: getHeaders() set Content-Type unconditionally, but ts-rest handles Content-Type automatically for requests with bodies.

Impact: E2E tests for schedule operations were failing because the server-side handling differed when receiving bodyless requests with Content-Type header.

Fix: Removed Content-Type from base headers:

// Note: Don't set Content-Type here - ts-rest automatically adds it for requests with body.
// Setting Content-Type for bodyless requests (GET, DELETE) can cause server-side parsing issues.

Code Quality

Aspect	Status
Type Safety	✅ All methods have explicit return types from @vm0/core
Error Handling	✅ Consistent pattern, preserved error messages
Code Simplification	✅ Removed ~200 lines of boilerplate
Test Updates	✅ Mocks simplified, coverage maintained

Example Improvement

Before (raw fetch):

const response = await apiClient.delete(
  `/api/agent/schedules/${encodeURIComponent(name)}?composeId=${encodeURIComponent(composeId)}`
);
if (!response.ok) {
  const error = (await response.json()) as ApiError;
  throw new Error(error.error?.message || "Delete failed");
}

After (ts-rest):

await apiClient.deleteSchedule({ name, composeId });
