fix: generate openapi.json on demand instead of on startup (#1512) - #1531

Conversation
…g#1512) Backend startup no longer writes to the tracked docs/backend/backend_python/openapi.json, so running the app no longer dirties the working tree. Generation moves to a standalone scripts/generate_openapi.py, run deliberately or in CI. Also regenerates the committed spec, which was out of sync.

Document the server-side password size limit.
CreateShareRequest.password advertises only minLength: 4, but backend/app/schemas/share.py, Lines 12-25, rejects values over PASSWORD_MAX_BYTES UTF-8 bytes. A client can send a value valid under this schema and receive a 422 response. Add the byte limit to the OpenAPI description or expose an equivalent schema constraint, then regenerate the file.

Preserve the datetime format in the media schemas.
backend/app/database/images.py, Lines 29-44, declares favouritedAt as Optional[datetime]. These four properties declare only "type": "string" and omit "format": "date-time". OpenAPI clients can generate plain string types and accept invalid timestamp values. Add the format at the source model or generator, then regenerate ImageData, ScoredVideoData, SemanticSearchImage, and VideoData.
Also applies to: 5528-5537, 5610-5619, 6343-6352

Thanks for the review! I've pushed a fix for the first point — the generation script now exits non-zero if generate_openapi_json() fails, so a failed generation won't silently pass in CI. On the other two (the missing date-time format on the datetime fields, and the undocumented password byte limit): both are pre-existing issues in the underlying Pydantic models (images.py and share.py), not introduced by this PR — they only surfaced here because regenerating the spec picked up lines that were already out of sync. To keep this PR focused on the startup-write fix, I'd prefer to track those separately. @rohan-pandeyy happy to open follow-up issues for them if you'd like. |

What this does
Fixes #1512.
Backend startup no longer writes to the tracked
docs/backend/backend_python/openapi.json, so simply running the app no longer leaves the git working tree dirty.Changes
generate_openapi_json()call from thelifespan()startup path inbackend/main.py.backend/scripts/generate_openapi.py, a standalone script that generates the spec on demand (follows the existingscripts/sys.pathpattern). Run withpython scripts/generate_openapi.py.generate_openapi_json()function inmain.pyso the script reuses it with no logic duplication.openapi.json, which was out of sync with what the code produces.Testing
git statusis now clean (noopenapi.jsonmodification).python scripts/generate_openapi.py— regenerates the spec as expected.pytest— 1113 passing.pre-commit(ruff + black) — passing.Notes
This implements the script-based direction discussed on the issue. Happy to adjust toward a pre-commit hook or CI staleness check instead if that's preferred.
