Add backend logging for opening drill sessions

[Copilot]

This PR implements backend logging for opening drill sessions to track user practice patterns and performance data.

Changes Made

New API Endpoints

• POST /opening/select_opening_drills - Called when user clicks "Start Drilling"
  • Logs opening selections, opponent choice, and drill configuration
  • Returns session ID for tracking the drill session
• POST /opening/submit_opening_drill - Called when each drill is completed
  • Logs moves played, opening position, and links to session

Implementation Details

API Layer (src/api/opening/)

// New API functions with proper TypeScript interfaces
export const selectOpeningDrills = async (request: SelectOpeningDrillsRequest)
export const submitOpeningDrill = async (request: SubmitOpeningDrillRequest)

Frontend Integration

• Modified OpeningSelectionModal to call backend when "Start Drilling" is clicked
• Updated useOpeningDrillController to submit drill data on completion
• Added session ID tracking throughout the drill flow

Data Flow

1. User configures openings → selectOpeningDrills API → receives session ID
2. User completes drill → submitOpeningDrill API with moves and session ID
3. Process repeats for each drill in the session

Key Features

• Graceful Degradation: Drill flow continues even if backend calls fail
• Session Tracking: Session ID maintained throughout entire drill session
• Type Safety: Full TypeScript support with proper request/response interfaces
• Minimal Changes: Surgical modifications that preserve existing functionality

Example API Requests

Starting a drill session:

POST /opening/select_opening_drills
{
  "openings": [
    { "opening_fen": "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1", "side_played": "white" }
  ],
  "opponent": "maia_kdd_1500",
  "num_moves": 10,
  "num_drills": 5
}

Submitting completed drill:

POST /opening/submit_opening_drill
{
  "session_id": "session_12345",
  "opening_fen": "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1",
  "side_played": "white", 
  "moves_played_uci": ["e2e4", "e7e5", "g1f3", "b8c6"]
}

Fixes #103.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• fonts.googleapis.com
  • Triggering command: node /home/REDACTED/work/maia-platform-frontend/maia-platform-frontend/node_modules/.bin/next build (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list
