refactor(stores): consolidate variables stores into stores/variables/

[waleedlatif1]

Summary

• Move variable data store from stores/panel/variables/ to stores/variables/store.ts — the panel variables tab was removed, so the store no longer belongs under stores/panel/
• Rename modal UI store export from useVariablesStore to useVariablesModalStore to eliminate the naming collision that forced aliased imports (useVariablesStore as usePanelVariablesStore)
• Remove dead migrateStringToPlain function (defined but never called)
• Merge variable data types and modal UI types into a single stores/variables/types.ts

Test plan

• Verify variables floating modal opens/closes, drags, resizes correctly
• Verify variable CRUD (add, edit, rename, delete) works in the floating modal
• Verify variable references in blocks update when variables are renamed
• Verify collaborative variable operations sync between clients
• bunx tsc --noEmit passes with zero errors
• bun run lint passes with zero errors

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Moderate risk because it rewires variable state and modal UI state across many workflow/editor paths; regressions would mainly show up as variables panel open/close behavior or variable CRUD/reference updates.

Overview
Refactors variables state management by moving the variables data store out of stores/panel/variables into stores/variables/store, and updating all call sites (editor inputs, tag dropdown, execution/change detection, registry, API helpers) to use the new imports.

Splits concerns by introducing a dedicated UI-only modal store (useVariablesModalStore in stores/variables/modal) for open/position/size persistence, eliminating the prior useVariablesStore naming collision and removing the now-dead panel variables store exports.

Consolidates variable-related types into stores/variables/types and updates backend/utility typing (route.ts, duplication helper, VariableManager) to reference the new type location.

Greptile Summary

This PR is a clean structural refactoring that consolidates two previously separate variable store locations into a single stores/variables/ directory. It moves the variable data store from stores/panel/variables/ to stores/variables/store.ts, renames the modal UI store export from useVariablesStore to useVariablesModalStore (eliminating forced aliased imports), removes the dead migrateStringToPlain function, and merges types into a unified stores/variables/types.ts.

Key changes:

• stores/variables/store.ts — variable data (CRUD, validation, name uniqueness, subblock reference updates)
• stores/variables/modal.ts — floating modal UI state (position, dimensions, open/close) with persist middleware
• stores/variables/types.ts — merged types for both data and modal stores
• stores/variables/index.ts — barrel re-exporting all public symbols
• 14 consumer files updated with corrected import paths
• stores/panel/variables/ directory and its contents are now deleted

The refactoring is logically sound and the naming is now unambiguous. The PR passes tsc --noEmit and lint, confirming correctness at the type level. One minor TypeScript precision issue remains in a consumer file that was touched during the migration.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — pure store reorganization with no logic changes; tsc and lint pass cleanly.

All remaining findings are P2. The single comment flags a pre-existing Record<string, any> that the PR could have tightened while touching the file, but it causes no runtime issue. The naming collision is resolved, the barrel exports are complete, and the deleted stores/panel/variables/ directory is fully replaced.

apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/w/[workflowId]/components/panel/components/deploy/hooks/use-change-detection.ts — minor any-type tightening opportunity

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
apps/sim/stores/variables/store.ts	Moved data store with CRUD operations, name-uniqueness logic, and subblock reference updates — clean and correct
apps/sim/stores/variables/modal.ts	Renamed store export (useVariablesModalStore) with persist middleware — position constraining logic and default calculation are correct
apps/sim/stores/variables/types.ts	Unified type file merging data and modal store interfaces — well-typed with TSDoc on all exports
apps/sim/stores/variables/index.ts	Barrel export re-exporting all public symbols from the new store location — complete and correct
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/w/[workflowId]/components/panel/components/deploy/hooks/use-change-detection.ts	Import path updated; contains Record<string, any> that could use Record<string, Variable> per no-any rule
apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/w/[workflowId]/components/variables/variables.tsx	Updated to import from new store paths (modal and store separately); floating modal component logic is clean
apps/sim/stores/workflows/registry/store.ts	Import updated from old panel/variables path to new stores/variables/store — no logic changes
