terpstra-209 fixes a production build blind spot

The fork restores the type information the frontend needs from the backend, preventing a deployment-time failure.

infrastructure

This is a small but practical reliability fix for teams deploying the application through its container setup. The frontend can again see the shared descriptions of data coming from the backend, so production builds no longer fail when those references are checked.

The change also keeps the frontend and backend more tightly linked during the build process. That solves the immediate deployment issue, though a cleaner long-term approach would give both sides a dedicated shared source for those definitions.

So what Teams running this application in production should care because it removes a build failure that could otherwise block a release.

commit body frontend/src/app/components/shared/types.ts reaches into ../../../../../backend for shared types. Building with context: ./frontend never had backend/ in the image, so those imports silently degraded to any and next build failed on the first implicit-any it hit. Build from repo root and mirror the layout instead. LOCAL PATCH (not upstream).
