chore(api): rely on sibling backend or committed OpenAPI for codegen

Drop live Swagger fetch so clients stay aligned through backend OpenAPI sync PRs.

+Uses sibling `../ghabilee-backend` when present, otherwise the committed `openapi.json`. Cross-repo sync is handled by the backend `sync-openapi-clients` workflow.
