Contract upload and URL controls were redesigned. Creation progress and supporting panels received updated copy and styling. The API overview now displays upstream endpoint details. ChangesAPI experience
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The revised API flow can create scratch APIs pointing at example.com, which may produce unusable API configurations, and the overview prevents opening a displayed upstream URL. These issues should be addressed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the main purpose, goals, implementation approach, issue reference, UI changes, and test coverage. However, it does not follow the repository template because it omits explicit sections for user stories, documentation impact, security checks, samples, related PRs, and the test environment. Resolution Update the description to include every template section. Add user stories, documentation links or an N/A explanation, unit and integration test coverage, security-check responses, sample details or N/A, related PRs or N/A, and the tested JDK versions, operating systems, databases, and browsers.

In
`@portals/api-control-plane/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/apis/create/ApiCreationWizard.tsx`:
- Line 352: Update the ApiCreationWizard navigation and DefineApiPanel state
flow so returning from configure to source preserves the selected contract,
approach, and edits instead of resetting them during unmount cleanup. Lift the
draft state into ApiCreationWizard or keep DefineApiPanel mounted while
configure is active, while preserving existing step transitions.
In
`@portals/api-control-plane/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/apis/create/components/ContractSourceForm.tsx`:
- Line 1603: Update the URL clear handler in ContractSourceForm so it clears
contractUrl and resets all URL-fetch state, including fetched values and any
pending-request guard that could later repopulate them. Ensure clearing and
re-entering the same URL triggers a fresh request and cannot restore the
previously fetched contract; add coverage for this clear/re-enter flow.
In
`@portals/api-control-plane/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/apis/create/utils/apiSkeleton.ts`:
- Line 33: Add deployment-time validation for the API skeleton server URL so
deployments are rejected while it remains https://example.com, rather than
merely warning. Preserve the scratch creation flow and require the user to
replace the placeholder before gateway traffic targets example.com, using the
existing upstream.main.url validation path.
In
`@portals/api-control-plane/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/apis/overview/EndpointsPanel.tsx`:
- Line 52: Restore the endpoint destination in EndpointsPanel by passing the
validated api.upstream.main.url to the external Link’s href prop. Remove the
commented-out placeholder and preserve the existing rendering and validation
behavior.

This pull request primarily updates the API creation wizard's user interface and internationalization (i18n) messages to improve clarity, usability, and accessibility. It introduces new step navigation, clearer button labels, and more descriptive instructions throughout the API creation flow. Additionally, it refines the visual appearance of resource preview placeholders and enhances test coverage for the new step-by-step flow.
