chore: fix admin UI type errors and typecheck the build - #3068
Conversation
The admin UI builds with Vite, which transpiles without typechecking, so
40 type errors had accumulated unnoticed under an otherwise strict
TypeScript config.
Three of them were real defects rather than annotation noise:
- `<Col xs="0">` emitted a nonexistent `col-0` class. Bootstrap column
spans start at 1, so the attribute never did anything.
- `size={5}` on `Form.Control` set react-bootstrap's own size prop, which
only accepts `sm` and `lg`, rather than the HTML attribute. The input
width was never applied; `htmlSize` is the prop that sets it.
- A backpressure test asserted against a payload shape the store never
produces. `wsSlice` had redeclared that shape inline instead of
importing `BackpressureWarning`, letting the two drift apart. It now
imports the shared type.
The rest are widened change-handler types for inputs that are also
rendered as selects or textareas, and casts routed through `unknown`
where a websocket payload has no structural overlap with its target.
Add vite-plugin-checker so the build typechecks and fails on any new
error. CI runs `build:all`, so this is enforced there.

Narrow WebSocket payloads before calling store setters.
data comes from JSON.parse(event.data) and has only the type Record<string, unknown> | undefined. These as unknown as casts discard the compiler check before calling setHistoryProviders, setAppStore, and setPlugins. They do not validate the payload shape.
Add event-specific type guards or schema parsing, and reject invalid data before calling each setter. This violates the **/*.ts rule: “Use strict type checking; avoid any or equivalent escape hatches.”

Source: Coding guidelines
`npm run build --workspaces` runs in the order workspaces are listed, not in dependency order. The admin UI imports types from `@signalk/path-metadata` but was listed before it, so on a clean checkout it compiled against declarations that did not exist yet. Vite transpiles without typechecking, so this stayed invisible until the build started typechecking. Locally it was masked by a `dist/` left over from an earlier build.
`GnssConfigPayload.sensors` is now readonly, which lets the frozen `EMPTY_GNSS_CONFIG` default type-check without an `as unknown as` cast, and `setGnssSensors` copies the array so the shared frozen default is never stored as mutable slice state.

Thanks. Addressed one of the two findings, and CI is fixed. GNSS frozen default (fixed in 94afa37). Good catch on the escape hatch. WebSocket payload casts: not in this PR. These three assertions already existed on master. The only change here is inserting sourceLabels fixture: no change. CI was failing for an unrelated reason that the new typechecking exposed. |
