This PR addresses a current hole in the TypeScript code generation for the API server protocol. Fields that are marked as "Optional<>" in the Rust code are serialized such that the value is omitted when it is deserialized — appearing as
undefined, but the TS type indicates (incorrectly) that it is always defined but possiblynull. This can lead to subtle errors that the TypeScript compiler doesn't catch. The fix is to include the#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]macro for all protocol structs that contain one or moreOptional<>fields.This PR also includes a new test that validates that all TS protocol code containing "| null" in its type is marked optional ("?") to catch cases where
#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]is omitted.
