Before the gRPC migration, the system would serve both public and internal requests over HTTP, but distinguish the two using path prefixes and a few HTTP Headers (X-Public, X-Context) added by the reverse proxy to prevent misconfigurations.
Since internal requests meaningfully no longer use HTTP, this convention is just an obstacle now, adding the need to always run the system behind a reverse proxy that rewrites the paths.
The change removes the path prefix, and updates the docker templates to reflect the change. This will require a migration for existing systems.
Look, this will make the git history look funny, but trimming unnecessary depth from the source tree is a very necessary sanity-preserving measure when dealing with a super-modularized codebase like this one.
While it makes the project configuration a bit less conventional, it will save you several clicks every time you jump between modules. Which you'll do a lot, because it's *modul*ar. The src/main/java convention makes a lot of sense for a non-modular project though. This ain't that.
