Implement support module with WebAPI endpoint for development

[ericerway]

As a developer, I want to quickly and easily set up a PWA development environment connected to a Magento 2 instance.

Enable this quick setup with a Web API endpoint for communication between the Magento 2 backend configuration and the PWA developer tools.

AC

2. Web API endpoint for checking, and if necessary modifying, store configuration to the following requirements:

   • Magento is installed and responding
   • Magento version is within supported range specified in theme manifest
   • Storefront and admin are both HTTPS-only, with redirect-to-HTTPS enabled
   • TLS certificate is signed with SAN extensions
   • Static resource signing is disabled
   • SEO redirects are enabled
   • Template symlinking is allowed
   • Theme under development is installed and activated on the default store

3. Web API endpoint (or additional response data from the endpoint defined in (1) above) for providing the following values:

   • Configured base URLs
   • Static asset path for the active theme, variant, and locale
   • File system path to the folder or symbolic link for theme assets
   • TLS certificate and certificate authority in PEM format
   • Buildpack connector which consumes API endpoint to provision and confirm store configuration
   • Stretch: Layout updates to disable "Layout XML Update" fields in admin when PWA theme is
     active
   • Test coverage and documentation (as appropriate)

@zetlen This could be a good candidate for contribution, but it's missing too much info at the moment. Do you have detailed AC for what you need from this endpoint?

[zetlen]

That's something @paliarush asked me for a while back, and I owe it. I'll write that up ASAP.

Removing the Help Wanted label until actionable AC has been specified.

@ericerway @zetlen this is a pretty large ticket for an external contribution. Can we chop this up into separate stories? Seems like most of the listed items could be separate tickets.

[zetlen]

Definitely. The tickets would be:

• Make admin-authorized Web API endpoint for showing config values and store status information
• Add functionality to that API endpoint for mutating those values
• Add "PWA-relevant settings group" concepts so the tooling can ask for a standard response instead of specific config values

[zetlen]

Please add or break down anything you think is extra.

Magento is installed and responding
Magento version is within supported range specified in theme manifest

anystore.com/magento_version i.e https://82503e2667.nxcli.net/magento_version might help here.
