## Summary
### Externalize `twenty-client-sdk` from `twenty-sdk`
Previously, `twenty-client-sdk` was listed as a `devDependency` of
`twenty-sdk`, which caused Vite to bundle it inline into the dist
output. This meant end-user apps had two copies of `twenty-client-sdk`:
one hidden inside `twenty-sdk`'s bundle, and one installed explicitly in
their `node_modules`. These copies could drift apart since they weren't
guaranteed to be the same version.
**Change:** Moved `twenty-client-sdk` from `devDependencies` to
`dependencies` in `twenty-sdk/package.json`. Vite's `external` function
now recognizes it and keeps it as an external `require`/`import` in the
dist output. End users get a single deduplicated copy resolved by their
package manager.
### Externalize `twenty-sdk` from `create-twenty-app`
Similarly, `create-twenty-app` had `twenty-sdk` as a `devDependency`
(bundled inline). After refactoring `create-twenty-app` to
programmatically import operations from `twenty-sdk` (instead of
shelling out via `execSync`), it became a proper runtime dependency.
**Change:** Moved `twenty-sdk` from `devDependencies` to `dependencies`
in `create-twenty-app/package.json`.
### Switch E2E CI to `yarn npm publish`
The `workspace:*` protocol in `dependencies` is a Yarn-specific feature.
`npm publish` publishes it as-is (which breaks for consumers), while
`yarn npm publish` automatically replaces `workspace:*` with the
resolved version at publish time (e.g., `workspace:*` becomes `=1.2.3`).
**Change:** Replaced `npm publish` with `yarn npm publish` in
`.github/workflows/ci-create-app-e2e.yaml`.
### Replace `execSync` with programmatic SDK calls in
`create-twenty-app`
`create-twenty-app` was shelling out to `yarn twenty remote add` and
`yarn twenty server start` via `execSync`, which assumed the `twenty`
binary was already installed in the scaffolded app. This was fragile and
created an implicit circular dependency.
**Changes:**
- Replaced `execSync('yarn twenty remote add ...')` with a direct call
to `authLoginOAuth()` from `twenty-sdk/cli`
- Replaced `execSync('yarn twenty server start')` with a direct call to
`serverStart()` from `twenty-sdk/cli`
- Deleted the duplicated `setup-local-instance.ts` from
`create-twenty-app`
### Centralize `serverStart` as a dedicated operation
The Docker server start logic was previously inline in the `server
start` CLI command handler (`server.ts`), and `setup-local-instance.ts`
was shelling out to `yarn twenty server start` to invoke it -- meaning
`twenty-sdk` was calling itself via a child process.
**Changes:**
- Extracted the Docker container management logic into a new
`serverStart` operation (`cli/operations/server-start.ts`)
- Merged the detect-or-start flow from `setup-local-instance.ts` into
`serverStart` (detect across multiple ports, start Docker if needed,
poll for health)
- Deleted `setup-local-instance.ts` from `twenty-sdk`
- Added `onProgress` callback (consistent with other operations like
`appBuild`) instead of direct `console.log` calls
- Both the `server start` CLI command and `create-twenty-app` now call
`serverStart()` programmatically

## Summary
- Adds a `color` column to `ObjectMetadataEntity` with full GraphQL
support so object icon colors are persisted at the metadata level
- Adds a `type` column to `NavigationMenuItemEntity` (enum: `OBJECT`,
`VIEW`, `FOLDER`, `LINK`, `RECORD`) replacing field-based type inference
- Updates frontend to read object colors from `objectMetadata.color`
(falling back to standard defaults) in the sidebar nav, record index
header, and record show breadcrumb
- Simplifies `NavigationMenuItemIcon` color resolution via
`getEffectiveNavigationMenuItemColor` util
## Color rules
| Item type | Color source | Editable in sidebar? |
|-----------|-------------|---------------------|
| **Object** | `objectMetadata.color` | Yes — persisted to
`objectMetadata.color` on Save |
| **Folder** | `navigationMenuItem.color` | Yes |
| **Link** | Fixed default (`DEFAULT_NAVIGATION_MENU_ITEM_COLOR_LINK`) |
No |
| **View** | `objectMetadata.color` (from the parent object) | No |
| **Record** | None | No |
- **Object** items represent the whole object (e.g. "Companies") and
point to the INDEX view. Changing their color updates
`objectMetadata.color` via `useSaveObjectMetadataColorsFromDraft`.
- **View** items represent specific non-INDEX views. Their color comes
from the parent object's metadata (read-only).
- Only **folders** store their color on `navigationMenuItem.color` —
enforced by `hasNavigationMenuItemOwnColor` util.
- `getEffectiveNavigationMenuItemColor` returns `objectColor` for both
OBJECT and VIEW items, folder's own color for folders, and the fixed
default for links.
## NavigationMenuItemType enum
- Shared enum created in `twenty-shared` with values: `OBJECT`, `VIEW`,
`FOLDER`, `LINK`, `RECORD`
- Registered as a GraphQL enum on the backend
- Replaces string literals across entity, DTOs, input, converters, and
frontend hooks
- Migration backfills existing rows: INDEX views → `OBJECT`, non-INDEX
views → `VIEW`, based on join with the view table
## Design decisions
- **OBJECT vs VIEW distinction**: Items pointing to INDEX views are
typed as `OBJECT` (represent the whole object, color editable). Items
pointing to non-INDEX views are typed as `VIEW` (specific view, color
read-only from parent object).
- **Dual color storage**: `navigationMenuItem.color` is preserved for
folders only. Objects use `objectMetadata.color` as their source of
truth.
- **Type discriminator**: The `type` column replaces field-based
inference (checking `viewId`, `link`, `targetRecordId` presence) with an
explicit enum, simplifying `isNavigationMenuItemLink` /
`isNavigationMenuItemFolder` to simple `item.type ===` checks.
- **No settings page color picker**: Object color editing is done from
the sidebar edit panel, not the data model settings page.
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify objects display their default standard colors in the
sidebar
- [ ] Verify object color editing works in the sidebar edit panel
(persists to objectMetadata.color)
- [ ] Verify folder color editing works in the sidebar edit panel
- [ ] Verify views, links, and records do NOT show a color picker in the
sidebar edit panel
- [ ] Run `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` and `npx nx typecheck
twenty-server`
- [ ] Verify the database migrations add `color` to `objectMetadata` and
`type` to `navigationMenuItem`

## Summary
- Renames the `FieldMetadataType` enum key from `RICH_TEXT_V2` to
`RICH_TEXT` across the entire codebase, while keeping the underlying
string value as `'RICH_TEXT_V2'` to maintain PostgreSQL database
compatibility
- Renames all related types, guards, hooks, components, and files from
`*RichTextV2*` / `*rich-text-v2*` to `*RichText*` / `*rich-text*` (e.g.
`FormRichTextV2FieldInput` → `FormRichTextFieldInput`,
`isFieldRichTextV2` → `isFieldRichText`)
- Updates generated files (GraphQL schema, SDK types) to use the new key
while preserving the `RICH_TEXT_V2` string value for DB/API layer
- Updates i18n locale files, test snapshots, and integration tests to
reflect the rename
## Context
The legacy `RICH_TEXT` (V1) field type was deprecated and migrated to
`TEXT` in a previous PR (#18623). With V1 gone, the `RICH_TEXT_V2`
naming is no longer necessary — `RICH_TEXT` is now the canonical name.
The DB enum value stays `'RICH_TEXT_V2'` to avoid confusion with the
just-deprecated V1 type and to prevent a database migration.
## Test plan
- [x] `twenty-server` typecheck passes
- [x] `twenty-front` typecheck passes (only pre-existing Apollo client
errors remain)
- [x] `twenty-server` lint passes
- [x] `twenty-front` lint passes
- [x] `twenty-shared` build passes
- [ ] CI passes

## Add standard command menu items
### Summary
This PR introduces standard command menu items, migrating hardcoded
command menu actions to the backend command menu item architecture
powered by front components. It adds a new `twenty-standard-application`
package that defines, builds, and registers front components as standard
command menu items, gated behind the `IS_COMMAND_MENU_ITEM_ENABLED`
feature flag.
### Description
- **New `twenty-standard-application` package**: Contains front
component definitions with an esbuild-based build pipeline that
generates minified `.mjs` bundles and a manifest with checksums.
- **Server-side registration**: New constants register all items with
metadata (labels, icons, positions, availability types, conditional
expressions). A `StandardFrontComponentUploadService` uploads built
components to file storage.
- **`FALLBACK` availability type**: New enum value for command menu
items that appear as fallback options (e.g., "Search Records" fallback).
- **`CommandMenuContextApi` refactor**
- **Conditional availability enhancements**: New array-based helper
functions for evaluating multi-record conditions.
- **Frontend wiring** (twenty-front):
`useCommandMenuItemFrontComponentCommands`
## Next steps
Only simple commands have been implemented for now:
- **Navigation (9)** -- `CommandLink`: go-to-companies,
go-to-dashboards, go-to-notes, go-to-opportunities, go-to-people,
go-to-runs, go-to-settings, go-to-tasks, go-to-workflows
- **Side panel (4)** -- `CommandOpenSidePanelPage`: ask-ai,
search-records, search-records-fallback, view-previous-ai-chats
We still have to implement front components for all the following
commands:
All have placeholder `execute` logic (`async () => {}`) with a `// TODO:
implement execute logic` comment:
**Record (22)**
- `add-to-favorites`, `remove-from-favorites`
- `create-new-record`, `create-new-view`
- `delete-single-record`, `delete-multiple-records`
- `destroy-single-record`, `destroy-multiple-records`
- `restore-single-record`, `restore-multiple-records`
- `export-from-record-index`, `export-from-record-show`,
`export-multiple-records`, `export-note-to-pdf`, `export-view`
- `hide-deleted-records`, `see-deleted-records`
- `import-records`, `merge-multiple-records`, `update-multiple-records`
- `navigate-to-next-record`, `navigate-to-previous-record`
**Page layout (3)** -- `cancel-record-page-layout`,
`edit-record-page-layout`, `save-record-page-layout`
**Dashboard (4)** -- `cancel-dashboard-layout`, `duplicate-dashboard`,
`edit-dashboard-layout`, `save-dashboard-layout`
**Workflow (10)** -- `activate-workflow`, `add-node-workflow`,
`deactivate-workflow`, `discard-draft-workflow`, `duplicate-workflow`,
`see-active-version-workflow`, `see-runs-workflow`,
`see-versions-workflow`, `test-workflow`, `tidy-up-workflow`
**Workflow version (4)** -- `see-runs-workflow-version`,
`see-versions-workflow-version`, `see-workflow-workflow-version`,
`use-as-draft-workflow-version`
**Workflow run (3)** -- `see-version-workflow-run`,
`see-workflow-workflow-run`, `stop-workflow-run`
## Summary
- Restructures the developer Extend documentation: moves API and
Webhooks to top-level pages, creates dedicated Apps section with Getting
Started, Building, and Publishing pages
- Updates navigation structure (`docs.json`, `base-structure.json`,
`navigation.template.json`)
- Updates translated docs for all locales and LLMS.md references across
app packages
## Test plan
- [ ] Run `mintlify dev` locally and verify navigation structure
- [ ] Check that all links in the Extend section work correctly
- [ ] Verify translated pages render properly

## Add API client generation to SDK dev mode and refactor orchestrator
into step-based pipeline
### Why
The SDK dev mode lacked typed API client generation, forcing developers
to work without auto-generated GraphQL types when building applications.
Additionally, the orchestrator was a monolithic class that mixed watcher
management, token handling, and sync logic — making it difficult to
extend with new steps like client generation.
### How
- **Refactored the orchestrator** into a step-based pipeline with
dedicated classes: `CheckServer`, `EnsureValidTokens`,
`ResolveApplication`, `BuildManifest`, `UploadFiles`,
`GenerateApiClient`, `SyncApplication`, and `StartWatchers`. Each step
has typed input/output/status, managed by a new `OrchestratorState`
class.
- **Added `GenerateApiClientOrchestratorStep`** that detects
object/field schema changes and regenerates a typed GraphQL client (via
`@genql/cli`) into `node_modules/twenty-sdk/generated` for seamless
imports.
- **Replaced `checkApplicationExist`** with `findOneApplication` on both
server resolver and SDK API service, returning the entity data instead
of a boolean.
- **Added application token pair mutations**
(`generateApplicationToken`, `renewApplicationToken`) to the API
service, with the server now returning `ApplicationTokenPairDTO`
containing both access and refresh tokens.
- **Restructured the dev UI** into `dev/ui/components/` with dedicated
panel, section, and event log components.
- **Simplified `AppDevCommand`** from ~180 lines of watcher management
down to ~40 lines that delegate entirely to the orchestrator.
