Type-Safe Polymorphic API Response Handling

generics type-safety middleware response-parsing
Prompt
Design a generic TypeScript utility type and middleware that can dynamically type-cast API responses with multiple potential structures. Create a solution that supports discriminated unions, handles different response schemas, and provides compile-time type safety while allowing runtime flexibility. Include error handling for malformed payloads and demonstrate how this can work with RESTful and GraphQL endpoints.
