Next-Generation API Clients

" summary

Prototype implements an enrich GitHub signup flow that chains GitHub + Clearbit calls, exposes an API catalog of typed endpoints, and packages named sequences as reusable clients (published to npm and consumed with TypeScript autocompletion in VS Code). It adds trace-based reproductions that capture inputs/outputs for instant debugging, enforces storage/GDPR rules, and lets operators swap providers centrally. The demo runs end-to-end, fixes an email-shape bug live, and claims up to a 99% reduction in integration time and errors — promising but experimental.
