# Description This PR updates Go code to use the `bicep-types-go` package as a standard Go module dependency fetched via `go get github.com/Azure/bicep-types/src/bicep-types-go@<commit hash>`, rather than relying on the git submodule. The submodule remains for TypeScript/pnpm tooling, but Go tooling now references the package directly from the `Azure/bicep-types` repository. This PR is step 1 of 2 in a two-step update to remove the git submodule. The plan is here: radius-project/design-notes#138 **Changes:** - Removed the `replace` directive in `go.mod` that pointed to the local submodule - Added direct dependency on `github.com/Azure/bicep-types/src/bicep-types-go` - Updated contributor documentation to clarify when the submodule is required ## Type of change - This pull request is a minor refactor, code cleanup, test improvement, or other maintenance task and doesn't change the functionality of Radius (issue link optional).

# Description
This PR removes the `bicep-types` git submodule and migrates
JavaScript/TypeScript package management from npm to pnpm. The
`bicep-types` dependency is now fetched as a git dependency and built
via a `postinstall` script, simplifying the developer experience.
**Key changes:**
- Remove the `bicep-types` git submodule and `.gitmodules` file
- Migrate from npm (`package-lock.json`) to pnpm (`pnpm-lock.yaml`) for:
- `typespec/`
- `hack/bicep-types-radius/src/generator/`
- `hack/bicep-types-radius/src/autorest.bicep/`
- Update GitHub workflows to use pnpm instead of npm
- Update devcontainer configuration for pnpm
- Update Makefiles and build scripts
- Add migration guide for developers with existing clones
- Add a root `package.json` to ensure dev dependencies are at consistent
versions and updated with dependabot.
## Type of change
- This pull request is a minor refactor, code cleanup, test improvement,
or other maintenance task and does not change the functionality of
Radius (issue link optional).
## Testing
1. Checkout the PR branch
2. Follow the contributing guide included with this PR at
