The header says generated and not to be edited, and the Iso8601 reference is nothing a generator would emit. Someone patched the new field in by hand and stopped there.

Confirm the real problem before fixing the symptom. The schema is at 2.0.0 and the client says 1.3.0, so this file is stale as well as edited.

Read the conventions before changing behaviour. The generate then build workflow is here, and so are the three decisions the call sites have to honour: the idempotency key default, the status label table, and the format of the tracking line.

# orders-client
A typed client for the order service, generated from `openapi.json`, and the three call
sites that use it.
## Layout
```
openapi.json the contract. The service team owns it, we only consume it.
tools/generate-client.mjs the generator. Committed, offline, deterministic.
src/generated/client.ts generated output. Never hand edited.
src/orders.ts placing an order and rendering its line
src/status.ts customer facing status labels
src/shipments.ts the tracking line shown under an order
```

Regenerate, then let the compiler enumerate the damage. One error becomes four, and each one is a real change in the contract rather than a typo.

Read the new contract rather than guessing at it: createdAt replaces placedAt, idempotencyKey is required, OrderStatus gained refunded, and listOrderShipments returns Shipment[].

Build the request body in one literal so the required field cannot be omitted, and default the key the way the README says. Read createdAt, which is the same value placedAt used to carry.

Drive the built modules through a fake transport. A green build proves the types line up, not that the behaviour is right: this is what shows the key is sent, the list is iterated and the empty case renders.

Name the drift and why regenerating beat repairing the hand edit.
src/generated/client.ts was generated from schema 1.3.0 while openapi.json is at 2.0.0, and a hand edit had added createdAt with a type name that does not exist, which is what broke the build. Changing that one name would have compiled and left the file a version behind, so I regenerated with tools/generate-client.mjs instead and fixed the four errors that surfaced. orders.ts now reads createdAt rather than the removed placedAt and always sends idempotencyKey, defaulting it to customerId:total as the README specifies. status.ts has a case for refunded with the documented label and keeps its never typed default arm, which is the check that surfaced the new member. shipments.ts maps the whole Shipment[] into the tracking line and renders none when the list is empty. openapi.json, the generator and tsconfig are untouched, strict is on, and nothing is suppressed. Build is clean and the built modules were exercised through a fake transport.
