refactor(base): migrate Base from Flow to TypeScript

[bonchevskyi]

Convert Base API class to TypeScript

This PR converts src/api/Base.js from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

• Converted Base.js to Base.ts
• Added TypeScript request and Axios error types
• Preserved Base.js.flow for Flow compatibility
• Converted Base.test.js to Base.test.ts
• Strengthened permission and destroyed-state assertions

Contract

• Existing API contract, exports, and runtime behavior are preserved

Testing

• Base tests: all 19 pass with no snapshots
• yarn lint:ts and eslint checks passes
• yarn flow check --show-all-errors passes

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for configuring a separate metadata API host.
  • Improved API URL construction, including consistent versioning and trailing-slash handling.

• Bug Fixes

  • Requests made after an API instance is destroyed are safely ignored.
  • Permission validation and error handling now behave more consistently.

• Tests

  • Expanded coverage for permissions, error handling, URL construction, and destroyed-request scenarios.

Walkthrough

The change adds a Flow declaration for Base, adds optional metadata API host support and shared API URL construction, and updates Base tests with stronger TypeScript typing and asynchronous request assertions.

Changes

Base API updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Base Flow API contract src/api/Base.js.flow	Adds Flow declarations for Base state, lifecycle methods, permission validation, URL helpers, callbacks, CRUD wrappers, and request execution.
Metadata host and URL construction src/api/Base.ts	Stores metadataApiHost in the instance and copied options. Adds buildApiUrl() and updates getBaseApiUrl() to use it.
Base behavior test updates src/api/__tests__/Base.test.ts	Adds TypeScript casts and aliases, simplifies permission assertions, uses string error codes, and awaits destroyed requests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13cdb

The PR routes authenticated metadata requests, including template requests, through the configured metadata host, but the host boundary is not constrained and the documented endpoint scope is inconsistent. This could send bearer-authenticated traffic to an unintended destination, so the trust policy and documentation should be resolved before merging.

Poem

A rabbit typed Base with careful delight

Hosts joined the URL in a neat little line
Callbacks stayed quiet when destruction took flight
Tests checked each error with timing just right
And Flow wore its contract like ears in moonlight

Correct the metadataApiHost routing documentation.

src/api/Metadata.js routes metadata template endpoints through metadataApiHost, and src/api/__tests__/Metadata.test.js verifies that behavior. These descriptions state that templates remain on apiHost. A caller can therefore configure the regional host with an incorrect endpoint-scope assumption.

• src/api/Base.ts#L58-L60: state that metadata template endpoints use metadataApiHost when configured.
• src/api/Base.ts#L96-L99: apply the same endpoint-scope correction to the constructor parameter documentation.
• src/api/Base.js.flow#L48-L50: state that metadata template endpoints use metadataApiHost when configured.
• src/api/Base.js.flow#L110-L113: apply the same endpoint-scope correction to the constructor parameter documentation.

Also synchronize the metadataApiHost description in src/common/types/api.js.
