 **Description:** Set up the API-first development workflow. The OpenAPI spec is the single source of truth for the REST API contract. Backend server interfaces and frontend TypeScript types are generated from it. This task scaffolds the tooling and creates a minimal initial spec — the spec itself is a living document that grows with each user story.
 
 **Acceptance Criteria:**
-- [ ] `openapi-generator-maven-plugin` (v7.20.x, `spring` generator, `interfaceOnly: true`) is configured in `backend/pom.xml`
-- [ ] A minimal OpenAPI 3.1 spec exists at `backend/src/main/resources/openapi/api.yaml` (info block, placeholder path, or health-only — enough for the generator to run)
-- [ ] `mvnw compile` generates Java interfaces and model classes into `target/generated-sources/openapi/` with packages `de.fete.adapter.in.web.api` and `de.fete.adapter.in.web.model`
-- [ ] `openapi-typescript` (devDependency) and `openapi-fetch` (dependency) are installed in the frontend
-- [ ] `npm run generate:api` generates TypeScript types from the spec into `frontend/src/api/schema.d.ts`
-- [ ] Frontend `dev` and `build` scripts include type generation as a pre-step
-- [ ] A minimal API client (`frontend/src/api/client.ts`) using `openapi-fetch` with `createClient<paths>()` exists
-- [ ] Both generation steps succeed and the project compiles cleanly (backend + frontend)
