## Summary
- Converts applicationVariable from a bespoke sync path to a proper
SyncableEntity,
unifying it with the workspace migration pipeline used by all other
manifest-managed
entities (agent, skill, frontComponent, webhook, etc.)
- Removes the upsertManyApplicationVariableEntities method and its
direct-DB-mutation
approach in favor of the standard validate → build → run action handler
pipeline
- Adds universalIdentifier, deletedAt columns and makes applicationId
NOT NULL via an
instance command migration
## Motivation
Before this change, applicationVariable was the only manifest-managed
entity that bypassed
ApplicationManifestMigrationService.syncMetadataFromManifest(). It used
a bespoke service
method called directly from syncApplication(), creating two mental
models, two validation
styles, and two cache invalidation patterns. Now there's one unified
pipeline for all
manifest entities.
## What changed
### Entity refactor:
- ApplicationVariableEntity now extends SyncableEntity (gains
universalIdentifier,
non-nullable applicationId with CASCADE, soft-delete via deletedAt)
### New flat entity layer (flat-application-variable/):
- Type, maps type, editable properties constant, entity-to-flat
converter, cache service,
module
### New migration pipeline wiring:
- Manifest converter
(fromApplicationVariableManifestToUniversalFlatApplicationVariable)
- Validator service (FlatApplicationVariableValidatorService)
- Builder service
(WorkspaceMigrationApplicationVariableActionsBuilderService)
- Create/Update/Delete action handlers with secret encryption hooks
- Registered in orchestrator, builder module, runner module, and all
type registries
### Removed bespoke path:
- Deleted upsertManyApplicationVariableEntities from
ApplicationVariableEntityService
- Removed its call from ApplicationSyncService.syncApplication()
- Kept update() (operator-set value at runtime) and getDisplayValue()
(runtime display)
### Database migration:
- Instance command to add columns, backfill universalIdentifier, enforce
NOT NULL
constraints, and update indexes
## Test plan
- npx nx typecheck twenty-server passes (0 errors)
- Unit tests pass (application-variable.service.spec.ts,
build-env-var.spec.ts)
- Install an app with applicationVariables in its manifest → variables
appear with correct
universalIdentifier
- Update app manifest (add/remove/modify a variable) → migration
pipeline handles diff
correctly
- Operator-set value via update endpoint persists correctly with
encryption
- Uninstall app → variables cascade-deleted
- app dev --once on example app syncs without errors
## Summary
- Add `defineCommandMenuItem` and `definePageLayoutWidget` as standalone
SDK defines, mirroring the existing `definePageLayoutTab` pattern. Both
entities can still be declared nested inside their parent
(`defineFrontComponent.command` / `definePageLayout.tabs[].widgets[]`).
- Add `CommandMenuItem` and `PageLayoutWidget` to the `SyncableEntity`
enum and the dev-mode UI labels.
- Wire the SDK manifest-build to extract the two new defines into
top-level `commandMenuItems` / `pageLayoutWidgets` arrays on the
manifest, and the server aggregator to consume them through the existing
flat-entity converters.
- On the server, expose `Application.commandMenuItems` (relation + DTO +
service hydration in `findOneApplication`).
- On the front, list command menu items in the application content tab
and add a dedicated detail page with a settings tab, mirroring how
`frontComponents` are surfaced.
- Add `twenty add` templates and Vitest unit tests for both new defines.
- Document the standalone-vs-nested pattern in
`packages/twenty-sdk/README.md`.
### Why
Until now, command menu items could only be declared as the nested
`command:` field on `defineFrontComponent` — there was no way to
register a command menu item from a separate file or from another
package. The `SyncableEntity` enum had 12 values, while the server
already synced 18 (including `commandMenuItem` and `pageLayoutWidget`).
The same gap existed for `pageLayoutWidget`, which had no top-level
define despite being synced server-side. This PR closes both gaps and
aligns the SDK surface with what the server actually accepts.
The standalone defines coexist with the nested form — pick one per
entity, never both with the same `universalIdentifier` (the manifest
aggregator will throw on duplicates). The README now documents this.
## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-sdk` / `twenty-server` / `twenty-front`
- [x] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-front` / `twenty-server`
- [x] `npx nx lint twenty-sdk` / `twenty-shared`
- [x] New unit tests: `define-command-menu-item.spec.ts`,
`define-page-layout-widget.spec.ts`
- [x] Existing manifest extract config tests still pass
- [ ] Codegen `npx nx run twenty-front:graphql:generate
--configuration=metadata` should be re-run after merge — the generated
`graphql.ts` was patched manually to include `commandMenuItems` on
`Application` and the `FindOneApplication` document.
- [ ] Smoke test: scaffold an app with `twenty add` for both new entity
types, run `twenty dev`, confirm the dev UI shows them in the sync list
and the settings page surfaces command menu items in the content tab.

## Summary
Replaces the bolted-on `isTool` + `toolInputSchema` fields on
`LogicFunctionManifest` with two distinct, opt-in triggers that align
with the existing `cron` / `databaseEvent` / `httpRoute` trigger
pattern:
- **`toolTriggerSettings`** — exposes the function as an AI tool (chat /
MCP / function calling). Uses standard JSON Schema (the format LLMs
natively understand).
- **`workflowActionTriggerSettings`** — exposes the function as a step
in the visual workflow builder. Uses Twenty's rich `InputSchema` so the
builder can render proper `FieldMetadataType`-aware editors, variable
pickers, labels, and an optional `outputSchema`.
A function can opt into none, one, or both. Each surface gets the schema
format appropriate for it.
### Why
`isTool: true` previously exposed the function as both an AI tool AND a
workflow node, with the same JSON Schema feeding both — but the workflow
builder really wants Twenty's `InputSchema` (with `CURRENCY`,
`RELATION`, `EMAILS`, etc.) and the AI surface really wants standard
JSON Schema. Today the workflow builder hacks around this by treating
JSON Schema as `InputSchema`, which silently breaks for any
non-primitive field type. Splitting the triggers fixes that and lets
each surface evolve independently.
### Migration
- **Fast** instance command adds the two new nullable columns.
- **Slow** instance command backfills `toolTriggerSettings` +
`workflowActionTriggerSettings` from `isTool=true` rows (preserving
today's both-surfaces behaviour) then drops the legacy columns.
### Stacked
Stacked on top of #20181. Merge that first, then this.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI green (oxlint, typecheck, jest, vitest)
- [ ] Run `--include-slow` upgrade against a workspace with existing
`isTool=true` logic functions; verify both new columns populated and old
columns dropped
- [ ] Verify AI chat sees migrated tool functions (Linear create-issue,
Exa search) and can call them with the JSON Schema
- [ ] Add an AI-tool function from the Settings UI (toggles
`toolTriggerSettings`) and verify it shows up in chat
- [ ] Add a workflow-action function from the Settings UI (toggles
`workflowActionTriggerSettings`) and verify it appears in the workflow
node picker
- [ ] In the workflow builder, edit a `LOGIC_FUNCTION` step and verify
input fields render (no more JSON-Schema-as-InputSchema hack)
- [ ] Try defining a function with no triggers in the SDK and verify
`defineLogicFunction` rejects it

## Summary
PR #20181 left `ConnectionProvider` in the `SyncableEntity` enum but
bypassing the standard sync pipeline — manifest sync called the bespoke
`ApplicationOAuthProviderService.upsertManyFromManifest()` instead of
going through the workspace-migration orchestrator like every other
SyncableEntity. Anything that assumed *"all SyncableEntity values flow
through the same pipeline"* (dev UI sync tracking, verification tooling)
was wrong about ConnectionProvider — that's the inconsistency this PR
closes.
This PR follows the `.cursor/skills/syncable-entity-*` guides
religiously, all six steps.
## What changes
**Step 1 — Types & Constants** (`@syncable-entity-types-and-constants`)
- Add `connectionProvider` to `ALL_METADATA_NAME` (twenty-shared)
- Make `ApplicationOAuthProviderEntity` extend `SyncableEntity` (drops
the ad-hoc columns since the base class provides them, adds `deletedAt`,
drops the old `(applicationId, universalIdentifier)` unique in favour of
SyncableEntity's `(workspaceId, universalIdentifier)`)
- `FlatConnectionProvider`, `FlatConnectionProviderMaps`,
`FLAT_CONNECTION_PROVIDER_EDITABLE_PROPERTIES`,
`UniversalFlatConnectionProvider`, six action types
- Register in **all** the central registries:
`AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName`,
`ALL_METADATA_ENTITY_BY_METADATA_NAME`,
`ALL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_CONFIGURATION`, `ALL_MANY_TO_ONE_*`,
`ALL_ONE_TO_MANY_*`, `ALL_METADATA_REQUIRED_METADATA_FOR_VALIDATION`,
`ALL_METADATA_SERIALIZED_RELATION`,
`ALL_JSONB_PROPERTIES_WITH_SERIALIZED_RELATION`,
`WORKSPACE_CACHE_KEYS_V2` (`flatConnectionProviderMaps`),
`METADATA_EVENTS_TO_EMIT`
- `case 'connectionProvider':` in seven discriminated-union switches
(`derive-metadata-events-*`, `optimistically-apply-*`,
`enrich-create-*`)
**Step 2 — Cache & Transform** (`@syncable-entity-cache-and-transform`)
- `WorkspaceFlatConnectionProviderMapCacheService` (extends
`WorkspaceCacheProvider`, decorated with `@WorkspaceCache`,
soft-delete-aware)
- `fromConnectionProviderEntityToFlatConnectionProvider` util
- `fromConnectionProviderManifestToUniversalFlatConnectionProvider` util
- `FlatConnectionProviderModule` wires the cache service
- Wired the manifest converter into
`compute-application-manifest-all-universal-flat-entity-maps`
**Step 3 — Builder & Validation**
(`@syncable-entity-builder-and-validation`)
- `FlatConnectionProviderValidatorService` — never throws, returns error
arrays; uses indexed `byUniversalIdentifier` for the (name,
applicationUniversalIdentifier) uniqueness check (no
`Object.values().find()` on the hot path)
- `WorkspaceMigrationConnectionProviderActionsBuilderService`
- Registered in both validators-module + builder-module
- **Wired into the orchestrator** (the most-commonly-forgotten step per
the rule) — constructor inject, destructure
`flatConnectionProviderMaps`, `validateAndBuild`, append actions to the
final migration
**Step 4 — Runner & Actions** (`@syncable-entity-runner-and-actions`)
- Three handlers (create / update / delete) using the canonical
`WorkspaceMigrationRunnerActionHandler` mixin
- Registered in `WorkspaceSchemaMigrationRunnerActionHandlersModule`
**Step 5 — Integration** (`@syncable-entity-integration`)
- Delete the `upsertManyFromManifest` bypass on
`ApplicationOAuthProviderService`
- Remove the bypass call from `ApplicationSyncService` — manifest sync
now flows through the standard pipeline
- Drop `ApplicationOAuthProviderModule` from `ApplicationManifestModule`
(no longer needed)
- Import `FlatConnectionProviderModule` from
`ApplicationOAuthProviderModule` to keep the cache discoverable
- 3 new exception codes: `INVALID_CONNECTION_PROVIDER_INPUT`,
`CONNECTION_PROVIDER_NOT_FOUND`,
`CONNECTION_PROVIDER_NAME_ALREADY_EXISTS`
**Migration**
- Generated via `database:migrate:generate` (instance command
`1777896012579`): drops the old `(applicationId, universalIdentifier)`
unique constraint, adds `deletedAt` column, adds the `(workspaceId,
universalIdentifier)` unique index that `SyncableEntity` requires.
- Verified clean — a second `migrate:generate` pass produces zero drift.
**Step 6 — Tests** (`@syncable-entity-testing`)
- 3 new specs for the manifest converter (defaults, optional fields,
all-fields)
- All 32 existing OAuth-provider tests still pass
- ConnectionProvider has no end-user GraphQL CRUD (it's manifest-driven
only), so the GraphQL integration suite that other SyncableEntities ship
doesn't apply here
**Codegen**
- Regenerated GraphQL artifacts (twenty-front + twenty-client-sdk)
against the live schema
## Why this matters
Before:
- `ConnectionProvider` claimed to be a `SyncableEntity` (in the enum)
- But the entity didn't extend `SyncableEntity`
- And the manifest sync bypassed the standard pipeline
- → Verification tooling, dev UI sync tracking, anything iterating over
`ALL_METADATA_NAME` got inconsistent behaviour
After:
- `ConnectionProvider` is a `SyncableEntity` end-to-end
- Single sync path through the workspace-migration orchestrator (same as
`agent`, `skill`, `frontComponent`, `webhook`, …)
- One mental model
## Out of scope (deliberate)
- **Renaming the table** from `applicationOAuthProvider` to
`connectionProvider` — the `metadataName` is `connectionProvider` (what
consumers see in code); the table name is internal. A rename would
balloon this PR with mechanical churn unrelated to the sync-pipeline
wiring. Worth doing as a follow-up.
- **`applicationVariable` SyncableEntity conversion** — the other
manifest-sync holdout. Tracked in #20215.
## Test plan
- [ ] Migration up/down clean against fresh DB
- [ ] Install an app whose manifest declares connection providers —
providers appear in the workspace
- [ ] Re-deploy the app with one provider added, one removed, one
renamed → all reconciled correctly via the sync pipeline
- [ ] Verify the dev-UI sync-tracking page shows ConnectionProvider
entries the same way it shows agents/skills/etc
- [ ] OAuth flow still works (existing connections, new connections,
reconnect, list/get from SDK) — should be unchanged since the runtime
code path didn't move

## Summary
App developers can now declare third-party OAuth integrations (GitHub,
Linear, Slack, etc.) in their manifest and the platform handles the full
authorize → callback → token-exchange → refresh → injection lifecycle.
The dev writes ~10 lines of config and reads tokens via
`useOAuth('linear')` inside any logic function.
```ts
// app/src/oauth-providers/linear.ts
export default defineOAuthProvider({
universalIdentifier: '...',
name: 'linear',
displayName: 'Linear',
authorizationEndpoint: 'https://linear.app/oauth/authorize',
tokenEndpoint: 'https://api.linear.app/oauth/token',
scopes: ['read', 'write'],
connectionMode: 'per-user',
clientIdVariable: 'LINEAR_CLIENT_ID',
clientSecretVariable: 'LINEAR_CLIENT_SECRET',
tokenRequestContentType: 'form-urlencoded',
});
// app/src/logic-functions/handlers/...
const { accessToken } = useOAuth('linear'); // throws OAuthNotConnectedError if missing
```
## Architecture
- **Storage**: extends the existing `connectedAccount` table — new
nullable `applicationOAuthProviderId` FK + new `app` value on the
`ConnectedAccountProvider` enum. Existing Google/Microsoft flows are
untouched.
- **OAuth flow**: a single `/apps/oauth/authorize` +
`/apps/oauth/callback` controller pair handles every app provider. State
travels in a JWT signed via the existing `JwtWrapperService` (new
`APP_OAUTH_STATE` token type).
- **Token exchange**: goes through
`SecureHttpClientService.createSsrfSafeFetch()` (so an installed app
can't point `tokenEndpoint` at internal hosts).
- **Refresh**: piggybacks on the existing
`ConnectedAccountRefreshTokensService` dispatch — Google/Microsoft
drivers untouched, new app driver lives engine-side under
`application-oauth-provider/refresh/`.
- **Injection**: the executor injects refreshed tokens as env vars
(`OAUTH_<NAME>_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `_HANDLE`, `_SCOPES`, `_CONNECTED`); the
SDK helpers `useOAuth` / `useOptionalOAuth` read them.
- **Frontend**: auto-rendered "OAuth Connections" section under each
app's settings tab (no custom front component needed). App-managed
connections are filtered out of `/settings/accounts` so the
email/calendar page stays focused.
- **Disconnect**: best-effort revoke against the manifest's
`revokeEndpoint` before deleting the row.
## Reference app
`packages/twenty-apps/internal/twenty-linear/` exercises the full
pipeline:
- `defineOAuthProvider` for Linear
- `POST /linear/create-issue` and `GET /linear/teams` HTTP-route logic
functions
- Vitest tests for the handlers
## Tests
- 14 server-side Jest tests: token-exchange util (form-urlencoded vs
JSON, PKCE, error paths), flow service (authorize URL shape, state
binding, ConnectedAccount upsert on first/reconnect, per-workspace mode,
invalid state)
- 8 app-level Vitest tests: handler error paths, GraphQL request shape,
Linear error propagation
- All 4 packages clean: `npx nx lint:diff-with-main` and `npx tsc
--noEmit`
## Test plan
- [ ] Apply migration on a dev DB: `npx nx run
twenty-server:database:migrate:prod`
- [ ] Regenerate frontend types: `npx nx run
twenty-front:graphql:generate --configuration=metadata`
- [ ] Create a Linear OAuth app at
https://linear.app/settings/api/applications/new with redirect URI
`<SERVER_URL>/apps/oauth/callback`
- [ ] Deploy + install `twenty-linear` on a workspace, paste the Linear
client id/secret into the app's variables
- [ ] Click "Connect Linear" in the app's settings tab → complete OAuth
→ verify `connectedAccount` row created with `provider = 'app'`
- [ ] Trigger `POST /linear/create-issue` with a valid teamId → verify
issue lands in Linear
- [ ] Disconnect → verify the row is deleted and (if Linear's revoke
endpoint is configured in the manifest) the revoke call fires
- [ ] Verify `/settings/accounts` does NOT show the Linear connection —
it appears only under the Linear app's settings tab
## Out of scope (deliberately)
- **Cron + per-user providers**: a cron-triggered function with a
per-user OAuth provider currently returns `CONNECTED=false` (no user
context). The follow-up design is `useOAuthForUser(name,
userWorkspaceId)` paired with a `POST /apps/oauth/connection-token`
endpoint, deferred to keep this PR focused.
- **Token encryption at rest**: tokens stored as plain `varchar`
matching the existing Google/Microsoft pattern. Worth a separate
cross-cutting PR.
- **Manifest endpoint pinning**: a malicious app upgrade could change
`tokenEndpoint` silently. Same trust model as logic-function source code
(which already runs arbitrary server-side); worth tightening across the
whole upgrade pipeline rather than just OAuth.
- **CLI helpers** (`twenty oauth show-callback-url`, `twenty oauth
connect`): manual setup for v1.

## Summary
Introduces `definePageLayoutTab` so apps can attach a single tab (with
optional widgets) to an **existing** `pageLayout` referenced by
`pageLayoutUniversalIdentifier`. The parent layout can be standard, from
the same app, or from another app — mirroring how `defineField`
references an object via `objectUniversalIdentifier`.
This complements `definePageLayout`: use `definePageLayout` when you own
the entire layout, use `definePageLayoutTab` when you only want to add
to one.
```ts
import { definePageLayoutTab, PageLayoutTabLayoutMode } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default definePageLayoutTab({
universalIdentifier: 'b1b2b3b4-b5b6-4000-8000-000000000001',
pageLayoutUniversalIdentifier: 'STANDARD-OR-OTHER-APP-PAGE-LAYOUT-UUID',
title: 'Hello World',
position: 1000,
icon: 'IconWorld',
layoutMode: PageLayoutTabLayoutMode.CANVAS,
widgets: [/* ... */],
});
```
## Changes
- **twenty-shared**: new top-level `pageLayoutTabs:
PageLayoutTabManifest[]` on `Manifest`, optional
`pageLayoutUniversalIdentifier` on `PageLayoutTabManifest`, new
`SyncableEntity.PageLayoutTab`.
- **twenty-sdk**:
- new `definePageLayoutTab` + `PageLayoutTabConfig` exports;
- manifest extraction wiring (`TargetFunction.DefinePageLayoutTab`,
`ManifestEntityKey.PageLayoutTabs`);
- dev-mode label/state for the new entity;
- CLI scaffold (`getPageLayoutTabBaseFile`) + unit tests for `npx
twenty-cli add`.
- **twenty-server**: convert top-level `pageLayoutTabs` (and their
widgets) into universal flat entities in
`computeApplicationManifestAllUniversalFlatEntityMaps`. Cross-app FK
validation on `pageLayoutUniversalIdentifier` is already handled by the
existing `FlatPageLayoutTab` validator.
- **docs**: new `definePageLayoutTab` accordion in `apps/layout.mdx`
with usage example and guidance vs `definePageLayout`.
- **CI / rich-app fixture**: `extra-tab.page-layout-tab.ts` exercises
the new flow with a front-component widget; `expected-manifest.ts` and
`manifest.tests.ts` updated.
## Summary
The `fromViewManifestToUniversalFlatView` converter hardcoded five view
fields to `null` instead of reading them from the manifest:
- `mainGroupByFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`
- `kanbanAggregateOperation`
- `kanbanAggregateOperationFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`
- `calendarLayout`
- `calendarFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`
As a result **any** Kanban view in an app manifest is rejected by
`validateFlatViewCreation` with `"Kanban view must have a main group by
field"`, and any Calendar view would trip the `view.entity.ts` check
constraint requiring `calendarLayout` + `calendarFieldMetadataId` to be
non-null. Discovered while trying to install
[`twenty-crm-meeting-baas`](https://github.com/Meeting-BaaS/twenty-crm-meeting-baas)
which ships a Kanban view.
## Changes
- **Server converter**: read all five fields from the manifest (with `??
null` fallback).
- **`ViewManifest` type** (`twenty-shared`): add the five fields so SDK
users can set them type-safely.
- **Move `ViewCalendarLayout`** from `twenty-server` to `twenty-shared`
so the manifest type can reference it. Seven import sites updated; the
front-end imports via generated GraphQL types and is unaffected.
- **Unit tests**: extend
`from-view-manifest-to-universal-flat-view.util.spec.ts` with
preservation + null-default cases for both Kanban and Calendar (5 tests
total).
- **Regression coverage**: add a Kanban view
(`post-cards-by-status.view.ts`) to the `rich-app` fixture grouped by
the existing `status` SELECT field. The existing
`applications-install-delete-reinstall` e2e test now exercises the
Kanban path end-to-end — a future regression here would fail CI.
Note: `expected-manifest.ts` and the `views.length` assertion in
`manifest.tests.ts` were updated to reflect the new fixture view.
## Test plan
- [x] `nx test twenty-server --
from-view-manifest-to-universal-flat-view` → 5/5 pass
- [x] `nx typecheck twenty-shared` / `twenty-sdk` / `twenty-server` → no
new errors (one pre-existing unrelated error in
`admin-panel.module-factory.ts`)
- [x] `nx lint twenty-shared` / `twenty-sdk` → clean
- [x] Manual install of the Meeting BaaS app on a dev workspace succeeds
with the Kanban view after this fix
- [ ] CI: SDK e2e `applications-install-delete-reinstall` passes against
the new fixture view
- [ ] CI: integration test `calendar-field-deactivation-deletes-views`
still passes after the enum move

## Summary
- The Data Model table was labeling core Twenty objects (e.g. Person,
Company) as **Managed** even though they are part of the standard
application. This PR teaches the frontend to resolve an `applicationId`
back to its real application name (`Standard`, `Custom`, or any
installed app), and removes the misleading **Managed** label entirely.
- Introduces a single, consistent way to render an "app badge" across
the settings UI:
- new `Avatar` variant `type="app"` (rounded 4px corners + 1px
deterministic border derived from `placeholderColorSeed`)
- new `AppChip` component (icon + name) backed by a new
`useApplicationChipData` hook
- new `useApplicationsByIdMap` hook + `CurrentApplicationContext` so the
chip can render **This app** when shown inside the matching app's detail
page
- Reuses these primitives on:
- the application detail page header (`SettingsApplicationDetailTitle`)
- the Installed / My apps tables (`SettingsApplicationTableRow`)
- the NPM packages list (`SettingsApplicationsDeveloperTab`)
- Backend: exposes a minimal `installedApplications { id name
universalIdentifier }` field on `Workspace` (resolved from the workspace
cache, soft-deleted entries filtered out) so the frontend can resolve
`applicationId` -> name without N+1 fetches.
- Cleanup: deletes `getItemTagInfo` and inlines its tiny
responsibilities into the components that need them, matching the
`RecordChip` pattern.
## Summary
Today the SDK lets apps declare `filters` on a view but not `sorts`, so
any view installed via an app manifest can never have a default
ordering. This PR adds declarative view sorts end-to-end: SDK manifest
type, `defineView` validation, CLI scaffold, and the application
install/sync pipeline that converts the manifest into the universal flat
entity used by workspace migrations. The persistence layer
(`ViewSortEntity`, resolvers, action handlers, builders…) already
existed server-side; the missing piece was the manifest → universal-flat
converter and the relation wiring on `view`.
## Changes
**`twenty-shared`**
- Add `ViewSortDirection` enum (`ASC` | `DESC`) and re-export it from
`twenty-shared/types`.
- Add `ViewSortManifest` type and an optional `sorts?:
ViewSortManifest[]` on `ViewManifest`, exported from
`twenty-shared/application`.
**`twenty-sdk`**
- Validate `sorts` entries in `defineView` (`universalIdentifier`,
`fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`, `direction` ∈ `ASC`/`DESC`).
- Add a commented `// sorts: [ ... ]` example to the CLI view scaffold
template + matching snapshot assertion.
**`twenty-server`**
- Re-export `ViewSortDirection` from `twenty-shared/types` in
`view-sort/enums/view-sort-direction.ts` (single source of truth,
backward compatible for existing imports).
- New converter `fromViewSortManifestToUniversalFlatViewSort` (+ unit
tests for `ASC` and `DESC`).
- Wire the converter into
`computeApplicationManifestAllUniversalFlatEntityMaps` so
`viewManifest.sorts` are added to `flatViewSortMaps`, mirroring how
filters are processed.
- Replace the `// @ts-expect-error TODO migrate viewSort to v2 /
viewSorts: null` placeholder in `ALL_ONE_TO_MANY_METADATA_RELATIONS`
with the proper relation (`viewSortIds` /
`viewSortUniversalIdentifiers`).
- Update affected snapshots (`get-metadata-related-metadata-names`,
`all-universal-flat-entity-foreign-key-aggregator-properties`).
## Example usage
\`\`\`ts
defineView({
name: 'All issues',
objectUniversalIdentifier: 'issue',
sorts: [
{
universalIdentifier: 'all-issues__sort-created-at',
fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: 'createdAt',
direction: 'DESC',
},
],
});
\`\`\`
Add support for standalone pages: a new `PageLayout` type
(`STANDALONE_PAGE`) that can be rendered independently at
`/page/:pageLayoutId`, not tied to any record or object context.
- New `STANDALONE_PAGE` page layout type
- New `PAGE_LAYOUT` navigation menu item type: adds a `pageLayoutId`
foreign key to `NavigationMenuItemEntity`, allowing sidebar items to
link directly to standalone pages
- New `GLOBAL_OBJECT_CONTEXT` command menu availability type: separates
object-context-dependent commands (Create Record, Import, Export, See
Deleted, Create View, Hide Deleted) from truly global ones, so
standalone pages only show relevant commands
- Frontend routing & rendering: adds a `/page/:pageLayoutId` route with
its own page component, header, and command menu
- Widget rendering refactor
- Instance commands: two fast 1.22 migrations: `pageLayoutId` column +
`STANDALONE_PAGE` enum, and `GLOBAL_OBJECT_CONTEXT` availability type
enum
- Workspace command: backfills existing command menu items from `GLOBAL`
to `GLOBAL_OBJECT_CONTEXT` where appropriate
- Dev seeds: adds a sample "Star History" standalone page with an iframe
widget for local development
## Summary
- Adds `isUnique?: boolean` to `RegularFieldManifest` in
`twenty-shared`, allowing SDK applications to declare unique constraints
on fields
- Updates the manifest-to-flat-field converter to read `isUnique` from
the manifest instead of hardcoding `false`
- Generates corresponding unique index metadata in
`computeApplicationManifestAllUniversalFlatEntityMaps` when a field has
`isUnique: true`, matching the behavior of the `CreateFieldInput` path
- Adds SDK-side validation rejecting `isUnique` on RELATION,
MORPH_RELATION, and FILES field types
- Adds integration test verifying manifest sync creates a unique index
for `isUnique` fields
- Adds SDK unit tests for `isUnique` validation on unsupported field
types
## Test plan
- [x] SDK unit tests: `defineField` accepts `isUnique: true` on TEXT,
rejects on RELATION and FILES
- [ ] Integration test: manifest sync with `isUnique: true` creates the
unique index in DB
- [ ] Verify `isUnique` defaults to `false` when not specified (backward
compatible)
- [ ] Verify standalone manifest fields (not nested in objects) also
generate unique indexes correctly
- removes pre-install function
- execute **asyncrhonously** post-install function at application
installation
- add optional `shouldRunOnVersionUpgrade` boolean value on post-install
function definition default false
- update PostInstallPayload to
```
export type PostInstallPayload = {
previousVersion?: string;
newVersion: string;
};

## Summary
- **Make app-synced objects searchable**: `isSearchable` was hardcoded
to `false` and the `searchVector` field was missing the `GENERATED
ALWAYS AS (...)` expression, causing all records to have a `NULL` search
vector and be excluded from search results. Fixed by defaulting
`isSearchable` to `true` (configurable via the object manifest),
computing the `asExpression` from the label identifier field, and
allowing the update-field-action-handler to handle the `null` → defined
`asExpression` transition.
- **Make `isSearchable` updatable on an object**: The property had
`toCompare: false` in the entity properties configuration, so updates
via the API were silently ignored and never persisted. Fixed by setting
`toCompare: true`.
## 1. The `twenty-client-sdk` Package (Source of Truth)
The monorepo package at `packages/twenty-client-sdk` ships with:
- A **pre-built metadata client** (static, generated from a fixed
schema)
- A **stub core client** that throws at runtime (`CoreApiClient was not
generated...`)
- Both ESM (`.mjs`) and CJS (`.cjs`) bundles in `dist/`
- A `package.json` with proper `exports` map for
`twenty-client-sdk/core`, `twenty-client-sdk/metadata`, and
`twenty-client-sdk/generate`
## 2. Generation & Upload (Server-Side, at Migration Time)
**When**: `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerService.run()` executes after a
metadata schema change.
**What happens in `SdkClientGenerationService.generateAndStore()`**:
1. Copies the stub `twenty-client-sdk` package from the server's assets
(resolved via `SDK_CLIENT_PACKAGE_DIRNAME` — from
`dist/assets/twenty-client-sdk/` in production, or from `node_modules`
in dev)
2. Filters out `node_modules/` and `src/` during copy — only
`package.json` + `dist/` are kept (like an npm publish)
3. Calls `replaceCoreClient()` which uses `@genql/cli` to introspect the
**application-scoped** GraphQL schema and generates a real
`CoreApiClient`, then compiles it to ESM+CJS and overwrites
`dist/core.mjs` and `dist/core.cjs`
4. Archives the **entire package** (with `package.json` + `dist/`) into
`twenty-client-sdk.zip`
5. Uploads the single archive to S3 under
`FileFolder.GeneratedSdkClient`
6. Sets `isSdkLayerStale = true` on the `ApplicationEntity` in the
database
## 3. Invalidation Signal
The `isSdkLayerStale` boolean column on `ApplicationEntity` is the
invalidation mechanism:
- **Set to `true`** by `generateAndStore()` after uploading a new client
archive
- **Checked** by both logic function drivers before execution — if
`true`, they rebuild their local layer
- **Set back to `false`** by `markSdkLayerFresh()` after the driver has
successfully consumed the new archive
Default is `false` so existing applications without a generated client
aren't affected.
## 4a. Logic Functions — Local Driver
**`ensureSdkLayer()`** is called before every execution:
1. Checks if the local SDK layer directory exists AND `isSdkLayerStale`
is `false` → early return
2. Otherwise, cleans the local layer directory
3. Calls `downloadAndExtractToPackage()` which streams the zip from S3
directly to disk and extracts the full package into
`<tmpdir>/sdk/<workspaceId>-<appId>/node_modules/twenty-client-sdk/`
4. Calls `markSdkLayerFresh()` to set `isSdkLayerStale = false`
**At execution time**, `assembleNodeModules()` symlinks everything from
the deps layer's `node_modules/` **except** `twenty-client-sdk`, which
is symlinked from the SDK layer instead. This ensures the logic
function's `import ... from 'twenty-client-sdk/core'` resolves to the
generated client.
## 4b. Logic Functions — Lambda Driver
**`ensureSdkLayer()`** is called during `build()`:
1. Checks if `isSdkLayerStale` is `false` and an existing Lambda layer
ARN exists → early return
2. Otherwise, deletes all existing layer versions for this SDK layer
name
3. Calls `downloadArchiveBuffer()` to get the raw zip from S3 (no disk
extraction)
4. Calls `reprefixZipEntries()` which streams the zip entries into a
**new zip** with the path prefix
`nodejs/node_modules/twenty-client-sdk/` — this is the Lambda layer
convention path. All done in memory, no disk round-trip
5. Publishes the re-prefixed zip as a new Lambda layer via
`publishLayer()`
6. Calls `markSdkLayerFresh()`
**At function creation**, the Lambda is created with **two layers**:
`[depsLayerArn, sdkLayerArn]`. The SDK layer is listed last so it
overwrites the stub `twenty-client-sdk` from the deps layer (later
layers take precedence in Lambda's `/opt` merge).
## 5. Front Components
Front components are built by `app:build` with `twenty-client-sdk/core`
and `twenty-client-sdk/metadata` as **esbuild externals**. The stored
`.mjs` in S3 has unresolved bare import specifiers like `import {
CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core'`.
SDK import resolution is split between the **frontend host** (fetching &
caching SDK modules) and the **Web Worker** (rewriting imports):
**Server endpoints**:
- `GET /rest/front-components/:id` —
`FrontComponentService.getBuiltComponentStream()` returns the **raw
`.mjs`** directly from file storage. No bundling, no SDK injection.
- `GET /rest/sdk-client/:applicationId/:moduleName` —
`SdkClientController` reads a single file (e.g. `dist/core.mjs`) from
the generated SDK archive via
`SdkClientGenerationService.readFileFromArchive()` and serves it as
JavaScript.
**Frontend host** (`FrontComponentRenderer` in `twenty-front`):
1. Queries `FindOneFrontComponent` which returns `applicationId`,
`builtComponentChecksum`, `usesSdkClient`, and `applicationTokenPair`
2. If `usesSdkClient` is `true`, renders
`FrontComponentRendererWithSdkClient` which calls the
`useApplicationSdkClient` hook
3. `useApplicationSdkClient({ applicationId, accessToken })` checks the
Jotai atom family cache for existing blob URLs. On cache miss, fetches
both SDK modules from `GET /rest/sdk-client/:applicationId/core` and
`/metadata`, creates **blob URLs** for each, and stores them in the atom
family
4. Once the blob URLs are cached, passes them as `sdkClientUrls`
(already blob URLs, not server URLs) to `SharedFrontComponentRenderer` →
`FrontComponentWorkerEffect` → worker's `render()` call via
`HostToWorkerRenderContext`
**Worker** (`remote-worker.ts` in `twenty-sdk`):
1. Fetches the raw component `.mjs` source as text
2. If `sdkClientUrls` are provided and the source contains SDK import
specifiers (`twenty-client-sdk/core`, `twenty-client-sdk/metadata`),
**rewrites** the bare specifiers to the blob URLs received from the host
(e.g. `'twenty-client-sdk/core'` → `'blob:...'`)
3. Creates a blob URL for the rewritten source and `import()`s it
4. Revokes only the component blob URL after the module is loaded — the
SDK blob URLs are owned and managed by the host's Jotai cache
This approach eliminates server-side esbuild bundling on every request,
caches SDK modules per application in the frontend, and keeps the
worker's job to a simple string rewrite.

## Next PR
- Estimate perf improvement by implementing a redis caching for front
component client storage ( we don't even cache front comp initially )
- Implem frontent blob invalidation sse event from server

- Adds template variable interpolation (`${...}`) to command menu item
labels and short labels, enabling dynamic text like `Create new
${capitalize(objectMetadataItem.labelSingular)}` instead of static
`Create new record`.
- Supports `capitalize` and `lowercase` transform functions within
template expressions.
## 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`

## 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
This PR improves Linaria/WYW pre-build speed and continues the migration
of `twenty-ui` components away from runtime `ThemeContext` reads toward
static CSS variables and theme constants.
### Linaria/WYW profiling plugin improvements (`twenty-shared`)
- **Babel JIT warmup**: added a `buildStart` warmup step that triggers
WYW's Babel JIT compilation before the real build starts, so the first
real file doesn't pay the cold-start penalty
- **`configResolved` hook**: detects dev vs prod mode and resolves the
correct warmup file path relative to `config.root`
- **Dev-only per-file logging**: slow file warnings are now gated behind
`isDevMode`, keeping production/CI build output clean
- **`closeBundle` summary**: moved the final top-slow-files report to
`closeBundle` for accurate end-of-build reporting
- **Removed noisy progress interval logging** in favor of the warmup log
+ final summary
### Migration from `ThemeContext` to static CSS variables / constants
Across `twenty-ui`, replaced runtime `useTheme()` reads with:
- `themeCssVariables` CSS custom properties (colors, spacing)
- Hard-coded design-system constants (`ICON.size.md` → `16`,
`ICON.stroke.sm` → `1.6`) so components no longer need a React context
at render time — enabling Linaria static extraction
**Components migrated:**
- `Button`, `AnimatedButton`, `LightButton`, `LightIconButton`,
`AnimatedLightIconButton`, `ButtonIcon`, `ButtonSoon`
- `ProgressBar` (Framer Motion width animation → CSS `transition`)
- `Info`, `HorizontalSeparator`, `LinkChip`
- `MenuPicker`, `MenuItemLeftContent`, `MenuItemIconWithGripSwap`,
`NavigationBarItem`
- `JsonArrow`, `JsonNestedNode`
- `ModalHeader`
### Other
- Added `aria-valuenow` to `ProgressBar` for accessibility
- `VisibilityHidden` component updated to inline accessibility styles
## PR Description
- Uses `expr-eval` to enable front components (SDK plugins) to define
conditional availability as declarative expressions.
- Moves shared types and constants to `twenty-shared`
- Introduces a `conditionalAvailabilityExpression` field on
`CommandMenuItemEntity`, allowing command menu items to store an
`expr-eval` compatible expression string that is evaluated against a
CommandMenuContext to determine if the item should be shown.
- Creates an esbuild transform plugin
`conditional-availability-transform-plugin` in `twenty-sdk` that
converts TypeScript conditional availability expressions into
`expr-eval` compatible syntax at build time, so SDK developers can write
natural TS expressions that get transformed to evaluable strings.
- Removes deprecated `forceRegisteredActionsByKey` state and its usage.
- Creates `useCommandMenuContext` hook that builds the full
`CommandMenuContext` object from React state, which is then passed to
`useCommandMenuItemFrontComponentActions` for evaluating conditional
availability expressions.
Adds color support for navigation menu items.

## Description
- Add `isHeadless` field to `FrontComponent` entity so front components
can run without rendering UI in the command menu
- Introduce headless front component mounting logic:
`HeadlessFrontComponentMountRoot` at the application root,
`useMountHeadlessFrontComponent`, and `useUnmountHeadlessFrontComponent`
hooks to mount/unmount headless components
- Expand the SDK with new action components (`Action`, `ActionLink`,
`ActionOpenSidePanelPage`) and host communication functions
(`openSidePanelPage`, `unmountFrontComponent`)
- Move `CommandMenuPages` type to twenty-shared so the SDK can reference
it for side panel navigation

## Description
- Adds support for declaring command menu items directly within
`defineFrontComponent` via an optional command config property
- Introduces a new `CommandMenuItemManifest` type in twenty-shared and
wires it through the manifest build pipeline

## Refactor page layout widget types into shared package and expose from
SDK
### Why
Widget configuration types were defined only on the server, forcing SDK
consumer apps to import from deep internal `twenty-shared/dist` paths —
fragile and breaks on structural changes. Server DTOs also had no
compile-time guarantee they matched the canonical types.
### What changed
- **`twenty-shared`**: Migrated `ChartFilter`, `GridPosition`,
`RatioAggregateConfig` and all 20 widget configuration variants into
`twenty-shared/types`. `PageLayoutWidgetConfiguration` (base, with
`SerializedRelation`) and `PageLayoutWidgetUniversalConfiguration`
(derived via `FormatRecordSerializedRelationProperties`) are now the
single source of truth.
- **`twenty-sdk`**: Re-exported `AggregateOperations`,
`ObjectRecordGroupByDateGranularity`, `PageLayoutTabLayoutMode`, and
`PageLayoutWidgetUniversalConfiguration` so consumer apps import from
`twenty-sdk` directly.
- **`twenty-server`**: All widget DTOs now `implements` their shared
type for compile-time enforcement. Added helpers to convert nested
`fieldMetadataId` ↔ `fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` inside chart
filters. Removed redundant local type re-exports.
## Sync page layouts, tabs, and widgets
Adds the ability for SDK applications to synchronize `pageLayout`,
`pageLayoutTab`, and `pageLayoutWidget` entities, following the same
pattern established in #18003 for views and navigation menu items.
### Changes
**`twenty-shared`**
- New `PageLayoutManifest`, `PageLayoutTabManifest`, and
`PageLayoutWidgetManifest` types with a hierarchical structure (page
layout → tabs → widgets)
- Added `pageLayouts: PageLayoutManifest[]` to the `Manifest` type
**`twenty-sdk`**
- New `definePageLayout()` SDK function with validation for
universalIdentifier, name, and nested tabs/widgets
- Wired into the manifest extraction and build pipeline
(`DefinePageLayout` target function, `PageLayouts` entity key)
- Exported from the SDK entry point
**`twenty-server`**
- Added `pageLayout`, `pageLayoutTab`, `pageLayoutWidget` to
`APPLICATION_MANIFEST_METADATA_NAMES`
- New conversion utilities: manifest → universal flat entity for all
three entity types
- Updated `computeApplicationManifestAllUniversalFlatEntity
- add a new optional key `postInstallLogicFunctionUniversalIdentifier`
in applicationConfig
- seed postInstall function in create-twenty-app
- update execute:function options
- update doc
## Summary
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e75cc9d-d9d2-4ef2-99f9-34450f5d8de7
Add background incremental type checking (`tsc --watch`) to the SDK dev
mode, so type regressions are caught when the generated API client
changes — without requiring a full rebuild of source files.
Previously, removing a field from the data model would regenerate the
API client, but existing front components/logic functions referencing
the removed field wouldn't surface type errors (since their source
didn't change, esbuild wouldn't rebuild them).
## What changed
- **Background `tsc --watch`**: a long-lived TypeScript watcher runs
alongside esbuild watchers, incrementally re-checking all files when the
generated client changes. Only logs on state transitions (errors appear
/ errors clear) to stay quiet.
- **Atomic client generation**: API client is now generated into a temp
directory and swapped in atomically, avoiding a race condition where
`tsc --watch` could see an empty `generated/` directory
mid-regeneration.
- **Step decoupling**: orchestrator steps no longer receive
`uploadFilesStep` directly. Instead, they use callbacks (`onFileBuilt`,
`onApiClientGenerated`), and each step manages its own `builtFileInfos`
state.
- **`apiClientChecksum` omitted from `ApplicationConfig`**: it's a
build-time computed value, same as `packageJsonChecksum`.

# Introduction
In this PR we start returning a workspace migration post sync so it can
committed and provided within the tarball
## Universal aggregators utils
Created two utils
### deleteUniversalFlatEntityForeignKeyAggregators
Used when building a universal create action, a newly created actions
should not contain any aggregated foreign key so they won't be codegen
in the workspace migration but also they are overriden at uninversal to
flat transpilation anw
### resetUniversalFlatEntityForeignKeyAggregators
Used before validating a new flat entity creation, some validator will
consume the fk aggregator in order to validate integrity, but of
optimstically provided it can result to errors. To avoid caller
responsability we override them here
## create-field-action refactor
Refactored the universal and flat field create action to be following
the base actions in order to ease typing
Also it was tailored to handle unlimited amount of flat field metadata
in the same actions whereas in the reality we were always only sending
at max 2 ( for relation fields )
Note: relation field has to be provided at the same as if not optimistic
would fail to retrieve circular universal identifiers
## ObjectManifest
Now always expect a `labelIdentifierFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`
## Integration test
Created an integration test that creates an app, sync a first manifest
and a second implying update workspace migration action generation
