What & why

Jira: RQ-4283 (epic RQ-4191)

The API Client is now a separate standalone product. This removes it entirely from the Interceptor app — every place a user could see or reach it — so the app presents only Interceptor (and its other non-API-Client features).

Commit 1 — onboarding & workspace creation

  • DesktopOnboardingModal / WelcomeCard: removed the "Start using API Client" card + the FOLDER_SELECTION local-workspace step; "Skip" now just completes onboarding (no local workspace + API Client redirect). Dropped FOLDER_SELECTION from the enum.
  • CreateWorkspaceModalOld: removed the "Local workspace" option ("only API client files are supported") and its dead local-workspace code — team workspaces only now.
  • personaRecommendationData: removed the dead "Test API endpoints → API Client" entry.

Commit 2 — app-wide product surfaces

  • Route: removed apiClientRoutes (the whole /api-client route + its tab UI).
  • Primary sidebar: removed the "APIs" item.
  • Home page: removed the API Client card (component deleted).
  • Breadcrumb "API Client" label; removed /api-client from the root-path landing set.
  • "Test / Replay in API Client" affordances (all opened the shared APIClientModal): network-inspector "Edit and Replay", mock editor "Test", session viewer "Replay Request".
  • cURL import deep link (OPEN_CURL_IMPORT_MODAL) that navigated into the API Client.

What is intentionally NOT removed

The features/apiClient/ directory stays: it is the de-facto home of shared systems the rest of the app depends on (workspace system, the tab system, variable/secrets/runtime-variables slices, environment backend, the shared APIClientModal). Nothing routes to or surfaces the API Client product anymore, but physically deleting that directory would require first relocating those shared systems (a separate, large refactor). Internal-only references (PATHS.API_CLIENT used by the tab infra, FEATURES.API_CLIENT flags, pricing enum) are likewise left in place — they are not user-visible.

Verification

  • ESLint clean on all changed files (one pre-existing exhaustive-deps warning, not introduced here).
  • tsc --noEmit: zero new type errors — net −9 vs the repo's pre-existing 1298-error baseline; no changed file's error count increased.
  • vite build: succeeds.

Draft — I could not live-run the Interceptor UI in this session. The "Skip completes onboarding" behavior and the removal of the in-context "test/replay in API Client" actions are the bits most worth an eyeball.

… creation

The API Client is now a separate standalone product, but the Interceptor
app still surfaced it in onboarding and workspace creation, funneling
users into creating local workspaces (which only ever held API Client
files). Per epic RQ-4191, remove all API Client touchpoints from these
flows so onboarding offers only Interceptor:

- DesktopOnboardingModal / WelcomeCard: remove the "Start using API
  Client" welcome card (expandable local-workspace create/open options)
  and the FOLDER_SELECTION local-workspace-creation step it fed into;
  drop the now-unused WorkspaceCreationProvider wrapper and the hooks
  (useCreateDefaultLocalWorkspace / useOpenLocalWorkspace /
  LocalWorkspaceCreateOptions / redirectToApiClient). "Skip" now simply
  completes onboarding instead of creating a local API Client workspace
  and redirecting to the API Client. Drop FOLDER_SELECTION from the
  OnboardingStep enum.
- CreateWorkspaceModalOld: remove the entire "Local workspace" option
  ("only API client files are supported") and its dead local-workspace
  creation code — the modal now creates team workspaces only.
- personaRecommendationData: remove the dead "Test API endpoints ->
  API Client" recommendation entry.

Follow-up to the onboarding/workspace-creation removal: strip every
user-reachable API Client entry point from the Interceptor app so the
product is fully inaccessible/invisible. The shared infrastructure that
happens to live under features/apiClient/ (workspace system, tab system,
variable/secrets slices, environment backend) is left in place — other
features depend on it — but nothing routes to or surfaces the API Client
product anymore.

Removed:
- Route: apiClientRoutes registration in routes/index.tsx.
- Primary sidebar "APIs" item (+ SidebarItemKey.APIs, icon, order entries).
- Home page ApiClientCard (component deleted) + its render.
- "API Client" breadcrumb label; PATHS.API_CLIENT.INDEX from the
  root-path landing set (useRootPathRedirector).
- Network inspector "Edit and Replay" context-menu item and its
  APIClientModal replay chain (ContextMenu -> VirtualTableV2 ->
  NetworkTable).
- Mock editor "Test" button and its APIClientModal test-mock chain.
- Session viewer "Replay Request" context-menu item and its
  APIClientModal chain.
- cURL-import deep link (AppModeInitializer OPEN_CURL_IMPORT_MODAL
  listener that navigated to the API Client).
Orphaned imports/vars from the above cleaned up.

Verified: ESLint clean on changed files (one pre-existing exhaustive-deps
warning), `tsc --noEmit` introduces zero new errors (net -9 vs the repo's
1298 baseline), and `vite build` succeeds.
