## 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
# Introduction
Support multiple selected record ids for headless front components
### Changes
**Added:**
- `recordIds: string[]` field to `FrontComponentExecutionContext`
- `useRecordIds()` hook to get all selected record IDs
**Deprecated:**
- `recordId` field - use `recordIds` instead
- `useRecordId()` hook - use `useRecordIds()` instead
Backward compatibility is preserved
## Summary
Logic-function bundles produced by the SDK CLI were ~1.2 MB each (source
maps ~3.1 MB) because esbuild was inlining `twenty-sdk/define` and its
transitive dependencies (zod + locales, twenty-shared, etc.). Those
`define*` factories are pure build-time metadata used only by the
manifest extractor — the Lambda runtime only ever invokes
`default.config.handler`, so the factories are dead weight at runtime.
This PR shrinks the bundles to ~9.5 KB each (~99% reduction) without
changing runtime behaviour.
## What changes
- **Stub `twenty-sdk/define` at user-app build time.** New esbuild
plugin
(`packages/twenty-sdk/src/cli/utilities/build/common/plugins/stub-twenty-sdk-define.plugin.ts`)
intercepts every import of `twenty-sdk/define` during user-app builds
and replaces it with a tiny virtual module:
- Factory functions (`defineLogicFunction`,
`definePostInstallLogicFunction`, …) become `(config) => ({ success:
true, config, errors: [] })`.
- Enums and helpers become `Proxy`-based no-ops.
- Wired into both the one-shot build (`build-application.ts`) and the
watcher (`esbuild-watcher.ts`), for logic functions and front
components.
- **New runtime barrel `twenty-sdk/logic-function`.** Re-exports only
the types logic-function authors need (`InstallPayload`, `RoutePayload`,
`CronPayload`, `DatabaseEventPayload`, `LogicFunctionConfig`,
`InputJsonSchema`, …). Compiled `.mjs` is 36 bytes. Wired into Vite,
Rollup `.d.ts` bundling, `package.json#exports`, and `typesVersions`.
- **Lint enforcement.** Added an oxlint `no-restricted-imports` rule
that forbids `twenty-shared` / `twenty-shared/*` imports from
`**/*.logic-function.ts` and `**/logic-functions/**/*.ts`, with a help
message pointing at the new barrel. Applied to the `create-twenty-app`
template and to `github-connector`, `hello-world`, `postcard`.
- **Migrated existing sources.** All logic-function files across
`community/{github-connector, apollo-enrich}`, `examples/{hello-world,
postcard}`, and `internal/{twenty-for-twenty, self-hosting, exa}` now
import types from `twenty-sdk/logic-function` instead of
`twenty-sdk/define` or `twenty-shared/*`. Renamed leftover
`InstallLogicFunctionPayload` references to `InstallPayload`.
## Why this is safe
- `define*` exports from `twenty-sdk/define` are metadata factories
whose call expressions are statically inspected by the manifest
extractor (`manifest-extract-config.ts`). They're never evaluated at
runtime — the Lambda executor only walks `default.config.handler`
(`logic-function-drivers/constants/executor/index.mjs`).
- The stub keeps the same call shape (`{ success, config, errors }`), so
any logic-function module that re-exports
`defineX(config).config.handler` still resolves to the user's handler at
runtime.
- Front-component bundles are unaffected by the stub because the
pre-existing JSX transform plugin
(`jsx-transform-to-remote-dom-worker-format-plugin.ts`) unwraps
`defineFrontComponent(...)` earlier in the pipeline. That's intentional
— front-component bloat is React/Preact, not in scope here.
## Measurements (github-connector)
| Asset | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `*.logic-function.mjs` | ~1.2 MB | ~9.5 KB |
| `*.logic-function.mjs.map` | ~3.1 MB | ~22 KB |
## Summary
Logic-function bundles produced by the twenty-sdk CLI were ~1.18 MB even
for a one-line handler. Root cause: the SDK shipped as a single bundled
barrel (`twenty-sdk` → `dist/index.mjs`) that co-mingled server-side
definition factories with the front-component runtime, validation (zod),
and React. With no `\"sideEffects\"` declaration on the SDK package,
esbuild had to assume every module-level statement could have side
effects and refused to drop unused code.
This PR restructures the SDK so consumers' bundlers can tree-shake at
the leaf level:
- **Reorganized SDK source.** All server-side definition factories now
live under `src/sdk/define/` (agents, application, fields,
logic-functions, objects, page-layouts, roles, skills, views,
navigation-menu-items, etc.). All front-component runtime
(components, hooks, host APIs, command primitives) lives under
`src/sdk/front-component/`. The legacy bare `src/sdk/index.ts` is
removed; the bare `twenty-sdk` entry no longer exists.
- **Split the build configs by purpose / runtime env.** Replaced
`vite.config.sdk.ts` with two purpose-specific configs:
- `vite.config.define.ts` — node target, externals from package
`dependencies`, emits to `dist/define/**`
- `vite.config.front-component.ts` — browser/React target, emits to
`dist/front-component/**`
Both use `preserveModules: true` so each leaf ships as its own `.mjs`.
- **\`\"sideEffects\": false\`** on `twenty-sdk` so esbuild can drop
unreferenced re-exports.
- **\`package.json\` exports + \`typesVersions\`** updated: dropped the
bare \`.\` entry, added \`./front-component\`, and pointed \`./define\`
at the new per-module dist layout.
- **Migrated every internal/example/community app** to the new subpath
imports (`twenty-sdk/define`, `twenty-sdk/front-component`,
`twenty-sdk/ui`).
- **Added \`bundle-investigation\` internal app** that reproduces the
bundle bloat and demonstrates the fix.
- Cleaned up dead \`twenty-sdk/dist/sdk/...\` references in the
front-component story builder, the call-recording app, and the SDK
tsconfig.
## Bundle size impact
Measured with esbuild using the same options as the SDK CLI
(\`packages/twenty-apps/internal/bundle-investigation\`):
| Variant | Imports | Before | After |
| ----------------------- |
------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
--------- |
| \`01-bare\` | \`defineLogicFunction\` from \`twenty-sdk/define\` |
1177 KB | **1.6 KB** |
| \`02-with-sdk-client\` | + \`CoreApiClient\` from
\`twenty-client-sdk/core\` | 1177 KB | **1.9 KB** |
| \`03-fetch-issues\` | + GitHub GraphQL fetch + JWT signing + 2
mutations | 1181 KB | **5.8 KB** |
| \`05-via-define-subpath\` | same as \`01\`, via the public subpath |
1177 KB | **1.7 KB** |
That's a ~735× reduction on the bare baseline. Knock-on benefits for
Lambda warm + cold starts, S3 upload size, and \`/tmp\` disk usage in
warm containers.

## Summary
- Replace per-file `setupFiles` + manual
`appBuild`/`appDeploy`/`appInstall` with vitest `globalSetup` that runs
`appDevOnce` once for the entire suite and `appUninstall` in teardown
- Add `fileParallelism: false` to prevent shared-state collisions
between test files
- Replace `app-install.integration-test.ts` with
`schema.integration-test.ts` that verifies app installation, custom
object schema (fields/relations), and CRUD
- Add reusable test helpers (`client.ts`, `metadata.ts`, `mutations.ts`)
- Applied to both `create-twenty-app` template and `postcard` example
## Summary
- **SDK (`dev` & `dev --once`)**: After app registration, the CLI now
obtains an `APPLICATION_ACCESS` token via `client_credentials` grant
using the app's own `clientId`/`clientSecret`, and uses that token for
CoreApiClient schema introspection — instead of the user's
`config.accessToken` which returns the full unscoped schema.
- **Config**: `oauthClientSecret` is now persisted alongside
`oauthClientId` in `~/.twenty/config.json` when creating a new app
registration, so subsequent `dev`/`dev --once` runs can obtain fresh app
tokens without re-registration.
- **CI action**: `spawn-twenty-app-dev-test` now outputs a proper
`API_KEY` JWT (signed with the seeded dev workspace secret) instead of
the previous hardcoded `ACCESS` token — giving consumers a real API key
rather than a user session token.
## Motivation
When developing Twenty apps, `yarn twenty dev` was using the CLI user's
OAuth token for GraphQL schema introspection during CoreApiClient
generation. This token (type `ACCESS`) has no `applicationId` claim, so
the server returns the **full workspace schema** — including all objects
— rather than the scoped schema the app should see at runtime (filtered
by `applicationId`).
This caused a discrepancy: the generated CoreApiClient contained fields
the app couldn't actually query at runtime with its `APPLICATION_ACCESS`
token.
By switching to `client_credentials` grant, the SDK now introspects with
the same token type the app will use in production, ensuring the
generated client accurately reflects the app's runtime capabilities.
- 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
- Adds `deploy-twenty-app` and `install-twenty-app` composite actions to
`.github/actions/` so app repos can reference them remotely — same
pattern as `spawn-twenty-app-dev-test` for CI
- Updates `cd.yml` in template, hello-world, and postcard to use
`twentyhq/twenty/.github/actions/deploy-twenty-app@main` /
`install-twenty-app@main` instead of local `./.github/actions/` copies
- Removes the 6 local action files that were duplicated across template
and example apps
**Before** (each app repo carried its own action copies):
```yaml
uses: ./.github/actions/deploy
```
**After** (centralized, like CI):
```yaml
uses: twentyhq/twenty/.github/actions/deploy-twenty-app@main
```
Made with [Cursor](https://cursor.com)
## Summary
- Adds reusable composite GitHub Actions for Twenty app deployment:
- `.github/actions/deploy` — builds and deploys to a remote instance
(`api-url`, `api-key` inputs)
- `.github/actions/install` — installs/upgrades on a specific workspace
(`api-url`, `api-key` inputs)
- Adds a `cd.yml` CD workflow that calls both actions in sequence. The
workflow:
- Deploys on push to `main`
- Can be triggered from a PR by adding a `deploy` label
- Configures a named remote via `TWENTY_DEPLOY_URL` env var and
`TWENTY_DEPLOY_API_KEY` secret
- Applied to: `create-twenty-app` template, `postcard` example,
`hello-world` example
- Updates the `spawn-twenty-app-dev-test` action ref from
`@feature/sdk-config-file-source-of-truth` to `@main` in all `ci.yml`
files
## Summary
- **Config as source of truth**: `~/.twenty/config.json` is now the
single source of truth for SDK authentication — env var fallbacks have
been removed from the config resolution chain.
- **Test instance support**: `twenty server start --test` spins up a
dedicated Docker instance on port 2021 with its own config
(`config.test.json`), so integration tests don't interfere with the dev
environment.
- **API key auth for marketplace**: Removed `UserAuthGuard` from
`MarketplaceResolver` so API key tokens (workspace-scoped) can call
`installMarketplaceApp`.
- **CI for example apps**: Added monorepo CI workflows for `hello-world`
and `postcard` example apps to catch regressions.
- **Simplified CI**: All `ci-create-app-e2e` and example app workflows
now use a shared `spawn-twenty-app-dev-test` action (Docker-based)
instead of building the server from source. Consolidated auth env vars
to `TWENTY_API_URL` + `TWENTY_API_KEY`.
- **Template publishing fix**: `create-twenty-app` template now
correctly preserves `.github/` and `.gitignore` through npm publish
(stored without leading dot, renamed after copy).
## Test plan
- [x] CI SDK (lint, typecheck, unit, integration, e2e) — all green
- [x] CI Example App Hello World — green
- [x] CI Example App Postcard — green
- [x] CI Create App E2E minimal — green
- [x] CI Front, CI Server, CI Shared — green
- simplify the base application template
- remove --exhaustive option and replace by a --example option like in
next.js https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli
- Fix some bugs and logs
- add a post-card app in twenty-apps/examples/
