Problem

The frontend AgentConfig interface in web/src/api/types.ts declares fully typed sub-objects (PersonalityConfig, ModelConfig, SkillSet, etc.) and includes id, status, hiring_date fields. However, the backend AgentConfig in src/synthorg/config/schema.py uses dict[str, Any] for personality/model/memory/tools and does not have id, status, or hiring_date fields.

This means the frontend types model a richer shape than the backend currently serves. The frontend will receive data that does not match its type expectations at runtime.

Options

1. Create a dedicated backend API DTO that enriches AgentConfig with runtime fields (AgentIdentity data)
2. Have the controller return AgentIdentity objects instead of AgentConfig
3. Align the frontend type to match the current backend shape and progressively add fields as the backend enriches its response
