Backstage gains a new OpenAPI tooling area that generates typed Express routers, does request validation, and produces an auto-generated client wired to the Backstage discovery API from a single command; tests run against an OpenAPI test proxy (Optic) that flags mismatches and breaking changes, and Schemathesis adds API fuzzing to exercise endpoints; demos show generated code, live validation failures, and passing unit tests — the pipeline actually works end-to-end.
