- Affiliate, Telegram, gas-price, and USD-price services continue functioning with improved request consistency.
Maintenance
- Consolidated shared request utilities to reduce duplicated handling across services.
- Improved type safety for rate-limited requests and removed obsolete request configuration.
Testing
- Updated request utility tests to reflect the current shared implementation.

Walkthrough

The change adds a shared BFF JSON client with timeout, parsing, rate-limit, and retry handling. Affiliate and Telegram APIs use the client. Frontend imports use common-utils exports, and obsolete affiliate retry constants are removed.

Changes

BFF client foundation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared BFF client and exports `libs/common-utils/src/bffApiClient.ts`, `libs/common-utils/src/fetchWithRateLimit.ts`, `libs/common-utils/src/index.ts`, `libs/common-utils/package.json`, `libs/common-utils/src/fetchWithRateLimit.test.ts`	Added the reusable `BffApiClient`, exported it through common-utils, updated fetch typing, and added required dependencies.

Affiliate API migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Affiliate API migration `apps/cowswap-frontend/src/modules/affiliate/api/bffAffiliateApi.ts`, `apps/cowswap-frontend/src/modules/affiliate/config/affiliateProgram.const.ts`	Migrated affiliate methods to `BffApiClient.fetchJson()` and removed local URL, parsing, retry, and rate-limit configuration.

Frontend client adoption

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Telegram client and shared utility adoption `apps/cowswap-frontend/src/modules/notifications/api/bffTelegramApi.ts`, `apps/cowswap-frontend/src/api/gasPrices/index.ts`, `apps/cowswap-frontend/src/modules/usdAmount/apis/getBffUsdPrice.ts`, `apps/cowswap-frontend/src/modules/usdAmount/apis/getDefillamaUsdPrice.ts`	Migrated Telegram requests to `BffApiClient` and updated rate-limited fetch imports to common-utils.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 24c89

This refactor centralizes BFF API request handling, but a localized error-normalization issue could obscure API error status or cause failures for non-standard rejection values. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on this bounded concern.

Poem

A rabbit hops through BFF lanes,
With typed requests and fewer chains.
It bounds past retries, neat and bright,
Through timeout paths and JSON light.
Shared tools now guide each call—
One client helps them all.
