Implement GET /api/ — serve OpenAPI spec as JSON	completed	task	normal	2026-03-10T23:32:06Z	2026-03-10T23:32:13Z	quotesdb-ghzc quotesdb-5aow

The `quotesdb` API is built with Axum + Tokio, targeting Cloudflare Workers via `workers-rs`. It serves JSON at `/api/*` endpoints and persists data to Cloudflare D1 (production) or a local SQLite file via Turso (development). Source lives in `src/bin/api/`.

Shared types and utilities are in src/lib.rs — code placed there must compile for both the host target and wasm32-unknown-unknown.

The GET /api/ endpoint serves the OpenAPI 3.1.0 specification as JSON. This endpoint requires no authentication and is the entry point for API documentation and client generation.

Implement the `GET /api/` handler that returns the OpenAPI spec as `application/json`.

Strategy resolved in TRIAGE 2ec8b1: compile-time embed via build.rs (ticket 8892d5). The build.rs converts api/openapi.yaml to JSON at build time and writes it to $OUT_DIR/openapi.json. The handler serves this as a static &str:

// Embedded at compile time by build.rs — no runtime parsing, no serde_yaml in binary.
const OPENAPI_JSON: &str = include_str!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/openapi.json"));

pub async fn get_openapi_spec() -> impl IntoResponse {
    (
        [(axum::http::header::CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json")],
        OPENAPI_JSON,
    )
}

Register the route in the Axum router as GET /api/.

- The response `Content-Type` must be `application/json`. - Do NOT use `serde_yaml` in this handler — the YAML→JSON conversion is done by `build.rs` (ticket 8892d5). The handler only serves a pre-built static string. - Do NOT use `OnceLock` or lazy parsing — `OPENAPI_JSON` is a `const &str` embedded at compile time; no initialisation is needed. - The spec at `api/openapi.yaml` is the source of truth — validate with `redocly lint api/openapi.yaml` after any changes. Use `superpowers:test-driven-development` — write a test that hits `GET /api/` and asserts the response is valid JSON with an `openapi` key. Use `superpowers:verification-before-completion` before closing. Run in order from the `quotesdb/` directory:
