fix(codegen): eliminate all CLI TypeScript compilation errors

Summary

Fixes CLI codegen templates in @constructive-io/graphql-codegen to produce type-correct TypeScript output, reducing generated CLI compilation errors from 3,143 → 0 without using as any, as never, // @ts-nocheck, or // @ts-ignore.

Template changes (6 files in graphql/codegen/src/core/codegen/cli/):

File	Fix	Errors fixed
utils-generator.ts	Export FieldSchema type for table commands to import	—
table-command-generator.ts	Import ORM input types (CreateXInput, XPatch), cast cleanedData to concrete types, FieldSchema type annotation, as string on PK lookups, exclude id/createdAt/updatedAt/nodeId from create data matching ORM's EXCLUDED_MUTATION_FIELDS, filter computed fields, fix handleGet detection	~3,000
executor-generator.ts	Record<string, string> type on headers = {}	~30
command-map-generator.ts	Typed createCommandMap return, as string on prompt results	~8
infra-generator.ts	Double-cast prompt results via as unknown as Record<string, string>, as string/as boolean on field access	~4
custom-command-generator.ts	Import XxxVariables types for ORM args (double-cast via unknown), import XxxPayloadSelect/XxxSelect types for { select } objects (double-cast via unknown)	~100

Type assertion strategy (no as never or as any)

• ORM create data: stripUndefined(answers, fieldSchema) as CreateXInput['x'] — uses the actual ORM create input type
• ORM update data: stripUndefined(answers, fieldSchema) as XPatch — uses the actual ORM patch type
• Custom command args: answers as unknown as LoginVariables — double-cast through unknown to the concrete Variables type
• Custom command select: { select: selectFields } as unknown as { select: LoginPayloadSelect } — double-cast to satisfy StrictSelect constraints
• Prompt results: as string / as boolean on individual fields, as unknown as Record<string, string> on full results
• PK lookups: answers.id as string — prompt values are always strings

Behavioral changes in generated code

• handleGet restored for all real tables: Previously only 2/152 tables had handleGet due to a bug where table.query.one === null was treated as "no findOne". In reality, one: null just means no dedicated GraphQL findOne query — the ORM still generates findOne using the PK. Now handleGet is skipped only for pure read-only record types from SQL functions (where one, update, AND delete are all null) — affects only 3 tables: GetAllRecord, OrgGetManagersRecord, OrgGetSubordinatesRecord.
• Tables with table.query.delete === null or table.query.update === null still correctly skip delete/update handlers.
• Computed/generated fields (e.g. searchTsvRank, hashUuid) are excluded from create/update data objects.
• Tables with auto-generated PKs (id) correctly exclude id from create data, matching the ORM's EXCLUDED_MUTATION_FIELDS list; natural-key PKs (e.g. NodeTypeRegistry.name) are still included.
• All // @ts-nocheck directives removed from generated files.

All 54 codegen tests pass. 46 snapshots pass.

Updates since last revision

1. Fixed critical handleGet bug: The initial fix incorrectly removed handleGet from 150/152 tables. The check table.query?.one !== null was wrong because almost all tables have one: null (no dedicated GraphQL findOne query), but the ORM still generates findOne using the PK. Now correctly generates handleGet for all tables except the 3 pure record types from SQL functions where the ORM truly doesn't generate findOne.

2. Replaced all as never casts with proper ORM input type imports (CreateXInput['x'], XPatch, XxxVariables, XxxPayloadSelect). No as never or as any remains anywhere in generated code.

3. Fixed PK exclusion logic: Now matches the ORM's EXCLUDED_MUTATION_FIELDS = ['id', 'createdAt', 'updatedAt', 'nodeId'] instead of relying on CleanField.hasDefault (which was null/undefined for some tables). This fixes TS2353 errors for RoleType, MembershipType, Object, SqlMigration, AstMigration.

4. Verified zero forbidden casts: Grepped generated code for as never|as any|@ts-ignore|@ts-nocheck — all clean.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

Risk level: 🟡 YELLOW — Template changes are localized but blast radius is large (240+ generated files). Type assertions use concrete types but some use double-cast through unknown.

• Verify handleGet heuristic is sound: The detection logic hasGet = one !== null || hasUpdate || hasDelete assumes that tables with update/delete mutations always have findOne. If a table has update/delete but no findOne in the ORM, the CLI will generate a broken handleGet. Check a few edge cases (e.g., views with triggers that allow updates) to confirm the ORM always generates findOne when it generates update.

• Verify ORM_EXCLUDED_FIELDS matches ORM behavior: Confirm that ['id', 'createdAt', 'updatedAt', 'nodeId'] matches the ORM's EXCLUDED_MUTATION_FIELDS in input-types-generator.ts. If these diverge, create operations will fail at runtime.

• Runtime smoke test (recommended): Generate CLI for a test schema, run a few get/create/update commands with various field types (enums, arrays, booleans, numbers) to verify type assertions hold at runtime. The TypeScript build passes, but runtime validation is the ultimate test.

Notes

• Session: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/0852119907284bb4a09c1910ef213240
• Requested by: @pyramation
• The diff is large because it includes regenerated CLI code for 148 tables across 4 APIs. The actual template changes are only 6 files.
• CI verifies that the codegen tests pass and the constructive-cli package builds without errors (0 TS errors confirmed locally).
• The relative import path logic (../../../orm/ vs ../../orm/) was explained in the user conversation — it's correct for single vs multi-target layouts.

🔴 hasGet check uses !== null without guarding against undefined, incorrectly enabling 'get' when table.query is undefined

At graphql/codegen/src/core/codegen/cli/table-command-generator.ts:799, hasGet is computed as table.query?.one !== null. When table.query is undefined (which is valid per CleanTable interface at graphql/codegen/src/types/schema.ts:18), the optional chaining evaluates to undefined, and undefined !== null is true. This means hasGet will be true even when the table has no query information at all, causing the generator to emit a get subcommand and handleGet function for tables that may not support findOne. In contrast, hasUpdate and hasDelete on lines 800-801 correctly check !== undefined && !== null, so they don't have this problem.

Suggested change

	// The only tables WITHOUT `findOne` are pure record types from SQL functions
	const hasGet = table.query?.one !== undefined && table.query?.one !== null;
