Extends the infrastructure config to include component integration flags

[aaronzi]

This pull request introduces infrastructure-aware synchronization options for descriptor and discovery asset link management, making the UI and backend behavior more flexible and accurate based on the current infrastructure configuration. The changes allow users to specify whether descriptor and discovery synchronization should be handled automatically by the backend or manually via the UI, and the application adapts its behavior and warnings accordingly.

The most important changes are:

Infrastructure configuration enhancements:

• Added new optional flags (hasRegistryIntegration, hasDiscoveryIntegration) to the infrastructure configuration (basyx-infra.yml) to indicate whether backend services automatically handle descriptor and discovery asset link synchronization. [1] [2]

UI for infrastructure settings:

• Updated the ComponentConfigPanel.vue and InfrastructureManagement.vue components to allow users to configure these new flags via checkboxes in the UI, and propagate changes to the infrastructure store. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Descriptor and discovery sync logic:

• Modified the delete and upload flows (DeleteAAS.vue, UploadAAS.vue) to check the new infrastructure flags and conditionally perform manual descriptor and discovery asset link synchronization only if required. Appropriate warnings are shown if synchronization is skipped due to connectivity or configuration. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

User feedback improvements:

• Added more detailed warnings and snackbar notifications to inform users when manual synchronization is required, skipped, or fails, based on the infrastructure settings and connection status. [1] [2] [3]

These changes make the application more robust and user-friendly when dealing with various backend integration scenarios.

Pull request overview

This PR adds infrastructure-driven “manual sync” behavior for AAS/Submodel descriptors and AAS discovery asset links when the backend does not automatically keep registries/discovery in sync, and exposes these integration toggles in the infrastructure settings and YAML config.

Changes:

• Introduce per-component integration flags (hasRegistryIntegration, hasDiscoveryIntegration) in types, YAML config, default infrastructure config, and the settings UI.
• Add/extend client logic to create/update/delete AAS/Submodel descriptors and discovery asset links when manual synchronization is required (including upload and delete flows).
• Improve request handling for JSON responses that may legitimately be empty.
