Backend-to-Frontend API Handoff Workflow
Whenever a change is made to the Backend APIs, you MUST execute this workflow:
- Update Changelog: Automatically update the project's changelog/tracker with the backend modifications.
- Generate API_HANDOFF.md: Create or update a document specifically for the Frontend/Mobile team.
- Show the OLD Request/Response JSON structure vs the NEW structure (Diff).
- Explain exactly what the Frontend developer needs to do to integrate this change (e.g., "Change the
userIdfield touserGuidin the Redux store"). - Highlight any breaking changes in bold.
