Sixteen of the thirty-four entries in the body-contract allow list were the
JourneyController, and a strict schema already existed for six of them. That
is the trap: eight of these handlers validate their own body and answer with
their own text - 'Title is required', 'trip_id required', 'provider and
asset_id required', 'entry_date is required', 'user_id required' - and those
bodies are pinned by e2e and integration cases. Adopting the strict schemas
would have the pipe answer first, with a different body. That is a
client-visible change wearing the costume of a refactor.
So the schemas follow the memories doctrine instead: loose objects, and every
field the handler type-checks itself is unknown here. They describe the shape
that already works, which is what the boot gate needs, and every hand-rolled
400 keeps answering. The spec inverts accordingly - it now asserts that each
schema ACCEPTS what the handler still rejects, which is the property that
makes the claim checkable.
Two of them are optional at the top level, and that is not decoration: a
multipart upload with files and no text fields arrives with no body at all,
and JOURNEY-INT-045 pins 'No files uploaded' for it. Without the optional the
pipe answered 'body: Invalid input: expected object' instead. The suite
caught it.
Backup joins them - its schema was already a passthrough, because the service
normalises the body itself.
Allow list: 34 entries down to 17. Tags and the two OAuth entries stay for
now; tags reads @Body('name') per property, which is a signature change
rather than a contract one.
@trek/shared
Single source of truth for TREK's API contracts, expressed as Zod schemas and consumed by both the server (request validation + inferred DTO types) and the client (typed requests/responses).
This package is part of the incremental NestJS + React 19 migration (see the "Brownfield Rewrite" board). It is intentionally dormant until modules start importing it — adding it changes nothing for users.
Rules
- One folder per domain:
src/<domain>/<domain>.schema.ts(+.spec.ts). - Domain-agnostic building blocks live in
src/common/. - A route is only considered migrated once its contract lives here.
- Schemas are the source of truth; server DTOs and client types are inferred from them
(
z.infer<typeof schema>), never hand-duplicated.
Consumption (dev)
Both apps resolve @trek/shared to this package's TypeScript source:
- Server (
tsx): viapathsinserver/tsconfig.json. - Client (
vite): viaresolve.aliasinclient/vite.config.ts(+pathsfor the type-checker).
Production packaging (Docker / workspace wiring) is introduced in card F2, when the server first depends on this package at runtime. Until then prod builds are untouched.
Not yet here
The canonical error envelope is finalised in card F5 (it must match TREK's current Express error responses byte-for-byte), so it is deliberately not invented in F1.
