Description

SDK generation can consume CSDLs under schemas folder instead of syncing from $metadata:

https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-metadata/blob/ff6e8bcdf8a92282c134dfd3a3732fc0d371d2d9/schemas/v1.0-Prod.csdl
https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-metadata/blob/ff6e8bcdf8a92282c134dfd3a3732fc0d371d2d9/schemas/beta-Prod.csdl

That way, we have the potential to kick off the generation process on schema sync instead of weekly schedule, which can give us SDK release cadence that is aligned more with schema release cadence.

Potential tradeoff to consider is more frequent SDK PR reviews, but they could be reviewed faster if the schema changes are smaller.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the schema inputs schemas/v1.0-Prod.csdl and schemas/beta-Prod.csdl, along with the current process that syncs from $metadata. Determine how SDK generation could consume those files after a schema sync rather than a weekly schedule. Done would mean generation is aligned with schema releases, with the tradeoff of more frequent SDK pull requests considered.
