[Tech-debt] `tsconfig.json` excludes 99 source files from type-checking — critical paths unchecked

[RUKAYAT-CODER]

Overview

tsconfig.json contains an exclude array with 99 entries, covering API auth routes, dashboard components, hooks, forms, and certificate handling. TypeScript type checking is entirely skipped for these paths. Bugs that would be caught at compile time — wrong types, missing properties, null dereferences — silently compile and reach production.

Specifications

Features:

• All source files under src/ are type-checked by tsc
• The exclude list contains only generated or third-party code

Tasks:

• Remove all src/-path entries from the exclude array in tsconfig.json
• Run tsc --noEmit and fix all newly surfaced type errors
• Enable strict: true if not already set to prevent regression
• Add type-check to the CI quality-checks job with --max-warnings 0

Impacted Files:

• tsconfig.json
• All previously excluded source files

Acceptance Criteria

• tsc --noEmit passes with zero errors across the entire src/ directory
• The exclude list contains only node_modules, .next, and test files if applicable
• CI enforces type-check on every PR
