8791 - TS Error Cleanup: Miscellaneous

#8791

Description

This PR resolves a broad set of strict-mode TypeScript compilation errors across the application. No business logic or UI behavior has been changed — all modifications are limited to satisfying type constraints, fixing linter issues, and improving developer tooling. 133 files were touched across shared/, web-client/, web-api/, cypress/, and scripts/.

Key Changes

Typed Case & Docket Entry Formatting Pipeline (shared/ + web-client/)

The largest portion of this PR introduces explicit TypeScript types for the formatted case and docket entry objects that flow through the application:

• New types in getFormattedCaseDetail.ts: FormattedCaseDetailDocketEntry, FormattedCaseDetail, FormattedCase, FormattedCounsel, and supporting types (PreformattedCaseDetailDocketEntry, etc.) to explicitly describe the shape of objects returned by the case/docket formatting utilities.
• New types in formattedDocketEntries.ts: FormattedDocketEntry (extends FormattedCaseDetailDocketEntry with UI-specific fields like iconsToDisplay, sealButtonText, etc.), ComputedFormattedDocketEntry, ComputedFormattedCaseDetail, and RelatedDocketEntry.
• New types in generateDocketRecordPdfInteractor.ts: DocketRecordPdfCaseDetail for the PDF generation pipeline.
• Refactored formatting functions to accept and return these explicit types instead of any, including formatCase, formatDocketEntry, formatCaseDetail, sortDocketEntryTable, setupIconsToDisplay, and others.
• Extracted helper imports: Moved getDescriptionDisplay and getSealedDocketEntryTooltip to direct imports in getFormattedCaseDetail.ts to support the refactored formatting pipeline.
• Updated DocketRecord.tsx (PDF template): Added explicit React prop types for the DocketRecord component and its sub-components.

Non-Null Assertions & Strict Typing Fixes (web-client/)

• Applied targeted non-null assertions (!), optional chaining (?.), defaults (|| [], || ''), and explicit casts (as any, as RawCase, etc.) across ~60 web-client files including:
  • Cerebral actions (e.g., removePetitionerCounselFromCaseAction, strikeDocketEntryAction, assignSelectedWorkItemsAction, etc.)
  • Cerebral computeds (e.g., correspondenceViewerHelper, docketEntryQcHelper, draftDocumentViewerHelper, messageModalHelper, sessionAssignmentHelper, etc.)
  • Integration test journeys (e.g., docketClerkSealsDocketEntry, chambersUserAddsOrderToCase, multiple order-type journeys, etc.)

React Component Prop Typings & DOM Interfaces (web-client/)

• Added explicit React.FC prop type definitions for components: InclusionsForm, NonstandardForm, ObjectionsForm, ElectronicServiceCheckbox, IrsNoticeUploadForm, PartiesInformationContentHeader.
• Replaced <div role="form"> with semantic <form> element in StartCaseInternal.tsx.
• Fixed FocusLock.tsx to use properly typed useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null) and HTMLElement casting for DOM references.

Shared Entity & Utility Fixes (shared/)

• Added non-null assertions in 10 Case.*.test.ts files for strict entity property access (e.g., irsPractitioners!, privatePractitioners!, statistics!, archivedDocketEntries!).
• Added this: any typing to stream helper in shared/src/tools/helpers.ts.
• Added explicit parameter typing in assignWorkItemsProxy.ts.
• Fixed shouldAppendClinicLetter.ts to initialize clinicLetterKey to empty string (and updated test).
• Made disposition access optional in setDocumentTitleFromStampDataInteractor.ts.
• Added explicit casting in getPractitionerCasesInteractor.ts for formatCase calls.
• Fixed type imports in CaseAssociationRequestDocumentTypeB.ts and CaseAssociationRequestDocumentTypeD.ts.
• Updated setNoticeOfChangeOfTrialJudge.ts to use shared imports and casting.

Web API Adjustments (web-api/)

• connectLambda.ts: Defaulted connectionId to empty string for strict null satisfaction.
• genericHandler.ts: Typed caught error as any to access .message property.
• associatePrivatePractitionerWithCaseInteractor.ts: Added practitioner typing and explicit cast.
• generateDocketRecordPdfInteractor.ts: Added typed pipeline with DocketRecordPdfCaseDetail and updated formatting logic (including new unit tests).

Developer Tooling

• eslint.config.mjs: Added settings.react.version: 'detect' to the flat ESLint config to resolve React version warning logs during linting.
• scripts/compareTypescriptErrors.ts:
  • Fixed countTypescriptErrors to return 0 instead of throwing when no errors are found (supports the goal of reaching zero TS errors).
  • Added validateTscResult() helper to properly diagnose tsc process failures (error, signal, exit code with no output).

---

Testing

• All modified unit tests updated to work with the new explicit types (updated imports, casts, and assertions).
• New unit tests added for generateDocketRecordPdfInteractor covering the typed formatting pipeline.
• No business logic changes — all existing test assertions for behavior remain unchanged.

---

What This PR Does NOT Change

• No UI behavior or visual changes
• No business logic modifications
• No API contract changes
• No database or persistence changes

Pull request overview

This PR focuses on resolving strict-mode TypeScript compilation issues across the web client, shared, and web-api layers by tightening/adjusting types, adding explicit casts/assertions, and updating a few call signatures/configs.

Changes:

• Updated multiple React views/components and Cerebral computeds/actions to satisfy strict null checks and stricter typings.
• Refactored docket entry formatting typings (introducing FormattedDocketEntry and FormattedCaseDetailDocketEntry) and updated related tests accordingly.
• Adjusted several server/lambda handlers and shared utilities to align with library/type expectations, plus updated ESLint flat config React version detection.

@copilot Please re-review this PR, thoroughly scrutinizing the claims in the What This PR Does NOT Change section of the PR's description:

• No UI behavior or visual changes
• No business logic modifications
• No API contract changes
• No database or persistence changes

Why do you think the blocked-cases and case-deadline-on-a-consolidated-group tests needed to change if there were no business logic or UI changes?

[Copilot]

@jimlerza I've opened a new pull request, #9822, to work on those changes. Once the pull request is ready, I'll request review from you.
