## 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

## 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.

## Summary
- Upgrade `ink` from 5.1.1 to 6.8.0 in twenty-sdk (React 19 required, no
API breaking changes)
- Upgrade `react`/`react-dom` from 18 to 19 and
`@types/react`/`@types/react-dom` to 19 in twenty-sdk
- Enable `incrementalRendering` — only redraws changed lines instead of
full output, reducing flickering
- Pause the animation timer when the pipeline is not actively building
or syncing, so Ink stops re-rendering and the terminal becomes
scrollable (fixes inability to scroll up to read errors)
- Remove `AnimationProvider` context — derive animation frames from
`Date.now()` directly in `useStatusIcon`
- Export `NavigationMenuItemType` from `twenty-sdk` (re-exported from
`twenty-shared/types`)
- Add dedicated NavigationMenuItem integration tests to postcard-app
(unique positions, unique identifiers, valid object references)
## Test plan
- [ ] Run `twenty dev` and verify the TUI renders normally during
build/sync
- [ ] Trigger an error and verify the terminal output freezes and
becomes scrollable
- [ ] Verify that after fixing the error, the TUI resumes animating on
next build cycle
- [ ] Verify `import { NavigationMenuItemType } from "twenty-sdk"` works
- [ ] Run postcard-app integration tests and verify new
NavigationMenuItem tests pass
## 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
- Move 4 test fixture apps from `twenty-sdk/src/cli/__tests__/apps/` to
`twenty-apps/fixtures/` with meaningful names (`rich-app` →
`postcard-app`, `root-app` → `minimal-app`)
- Replace all `from '@/sdk'` imports with `from 'twenty-sdk'` so fixture
apps are proper, portable twenty-sdk apps
- Remove the fragile `"@/*": ["../../../../../src/*"]` tsconfig hack and
replace with standard `"src/*": ["./src/*"]` paths
- Create a centralized `fixture-paths.ts` utility in twenty-sdk tests
for clean app path resolution
## Why
The fixture apps were deeply nested in twenty-sdk's test directory and
tightly coupled to its internal source layout via a tsconfig path alias
hack. This made them:
- Impossible to reuse outside of SDK CLI tests (e.g., for server-side
dev seeding with `DevSeederService`)
- Fragile — moving any twenty-sdk source file could break the path alias
- Poorly discoverable — buried 5 directories deep in test infrastructure
Moving them to `twenty-apps/fixtures/` makes them first-class portable
apps that can be imported by `twenty-server` for seeding, used in E2E
testing, and serve as canonical examples alongside `hello-world`.
## Test plan
- [x] All 8 twenty-sdk integration tests pass (3 suites: postcard-app,
minimal-app, invalid-app)
- [x] Prettier formatting verified on all changed files
- [ ] CI should confirm E2E tests also pass (these require a running
server)

# Intoduction
Closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2289
In this PR all the clients becomes available under `twenty-sdk/clients`,
this is a breaking change but generated was too vague and thats still
the now or never best timing to do so
## CoreClient
The core client is now shipped with a default stub empty class for both
the schema and the client
Allowing its import, will still raises typescript errors when consumed
as generated but not generated
## MetadataClient
The metadata client is workspace agnostic, it's now generated and
commited in the repo. added a ci that prevents any schema desync due to
twenty-server additions
Same behavior than for the twenty-front generated graphql schema
## Summary
- The `createOneApplication` GraphQL mutation was removed from the
server during the application architecture refactor (#18432), but the
SDK CLI (`app:dev`, `app:build --sync`) still called it, causing
failures.
- Simplified the SDK to use `syncApplication` (which now internally
creates the `ApplicationEntity` via `ensureApplicationExists`) instead
of a separate create step.
- On first run (clean install), the orchestrator now runs an initial
sync before initializing the file uploader, so file uploads can proceed
(they require the `ApplicationEntity` to exist).
## Test plan
- [x] Typecheck passes for both `twenty-sdk` and `twenty-server`
- [x] `app:dev` tested locally with existing app (finds app, uploads,
syncs)
- [x] `app:dev` tested locally after `app:uninstall` (creates app via
sync, uploads, syncs)
- [x] SDK unit tests pass (23/26 files, 3 pre-existing failures
unrelated)

## Summary
- **Merge queue optimization**: Created a dedicated
`ci-merge-queue.yaml` workflow that only runs Playwright E2E tests on
`ubuntu-latest-8-cores`. Removed `merge_group` trigger from all 7
existing CI workflows (front, server, shared, website, sdk, zapier,
docker-compose). The merge queue goes from ~30+ parallel jobs to a
single focused E2E job.
- **Label-based merge queue simulation**: Added `run-merge-queue` label
support so developers can trigger the exact merge queue E2E pipeline on
any open PR before it enters the queue.
- **Prettier in lint**: Chained `prettier --check` into `lint` and
`prettier --write` into `lint --configuration=fix` across `nx.json`
defaults, `twenty-front`, and `twenty-server`. Prettier formatting
errors are now caught by `lint` and fixed by `lint:fix` /
`lint:diff-with-main --configuration=fix`.
## After merge (manual repo settings)
Update GitHub branch protection required status checks:
1. Remove old per-workflow merge queue checks (`ci-front-status-check`,
`ci-e2e-status-check`, `ci-server-status-check`, etc.)
2. Add `ci-merge-queue-status-check` as the required check for the merge
queue
# Introduction
While testing the sdk and overall apps in
https://github.com/prastoin/twenty-app-hello-world
Faced a lot of pure `CJS` external dependencies import issue
Replaced all the cjs deps to either esm equivalent or node native
replacement
## 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.
# Introduction
Adding integration test scaffold to the create twenty app and an example
to the hello world app
This PR also fixes all the sdk e2e tests in local
## `HELLO_WORLD`
Removed the legacy implem in the `twenty-apps` folder, replacing it by
an exhaustive app generation
## Next step
Will in another PR add workflows for CI testing
## Open question
- Should we still add vitest config and dep even if the user did not ask
for the integration test example ? -> currently we don't
- That's the perfect timing to identify if we're ok to handle seed
workspace authentication with the known api key
# Introduction
Allow a consumer call the commands programmatically instead of passing
by the exec
To do so extract from the command definition all the core logic, created
a new error api that allow keeping same error logs granularity than
before
## Usage
```ts
import { authLogin, appUninstall, functionExecute } from 'twenty-sdk/cli';
const result = await authLogin({
apiKey: 'my-key',
apiUrl: 'https://my-twenty.com',
});
if (!result.success) {
throw new Error(result.error);
}
```
## `app:build`
Introduced a new command that will allow building the whole project
without any watch setup
- Build and validate manifest
- Get or create app
- Synchronize manifest with twenty-sdk stub and no typecheck
- generate client
- Run typecheck
- Synchronize manifest again
- Fixes self host application
- add new telemetry information
- add serverId to identify a server instance
- remove .twenty from git tracking
- tree-shake "twenty-sdk" usage in built logic functions and front
components
- fix "twenty-sdk" version usage
- fix twenty-zapier cli

## Fix SDK first-run build failure when generated API client is missing
### Problem
When running `twenty app:dev` for the first time, the build pipeline
crashes because:
1. The esbuild front-component watcher tries to resolve
`twenty-sdk/generated`, but the generated API client doesn't exist yet —
it's only created later in the pipeline after syncing with the server.
2. The typecheck plugin (`tsc --noEmit`) runs as a blocking esbuild
`onStart` hook, so even with stub files, type errors on the empty client
classes (e.g. `Property 'query' does not exist on type 'CoreApiClient'`)
cause the build to fail before the real client can be generated.
This creates a chicken-and-egg problem: the watchers need the generated
client to build, but the client is generated after the watchers produce
their output.
### Solution
**1. Stub generated client on startup**
Added `ensureGeneratedClientStub` to `ClientService` that writes minimal
placeholder files (`CoreApiClient`, `MetadataApiClient`) into
`node_modules/twenty-sdk/generated/` if the directory doesn't already
exist. This is called in `DevModeOrchestrator.start()` before any
watchers are created, so the `twenty-sdk/generated` import always
resolves.
**2. Skip typecheck on first sync round**
Made the esbuild typecheck plugin accept a `shouldSkipTypecheck`
callback. The orchestrator starts with `skipTypecheck = true` and passes
`() => this.skipTypecheck` through the watcher chain. After the real API
client is generated, the flag is flipped to `false`, so subsequent
rebuilds enforce full type checking with the real generated types.
## Summary
- **Refactor frontend metadata loading architecture**: Split the
monolithic `EagerMetadataLoadEffect` into focused provider effects
(`UserMetadataProviderEffect`, `ObjectMetadataProviderEffect`,
`ViewMetadataProviderEffect`) orchestrated by `MetadataProviderEffects`.
Replaced `UserProvider` + `ObjectMetadataItemsProvider` with a single
`MetadataGater` that gates rendering on `isAppMetadataReadyState`. The
metadata store now validates view-object consistency before promoting
views, and `updateDraft` skips no-op updates via deep equality checks.
- **SDK CLI improvements**: Added `app:typecheck` command, improved
error handling in API sync (extracts GraphQL error messages), added
`serializeError` utility for human-readable error output, added `error`
file status to dev mode orchestrator with UI support, and fixed
ClickHouse migration/seed commands to use `transpile-only`.
## 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

## 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
## Example Of usage
```tsx
import { defineFrontComponent } from "twenty-sdk";
const TestAction = () => {
return <div>Test Action</div>;
};
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: "6c289461-0007-4a62-a99f-69e5c11a4ce7",
name: "test-action",
description: "Test Action",
component: TestAction,
command: {
universalIdentifier: "c07df864-495f-46f3-9f5b-9d3ce2589e9b",
label: "Run My Action",
icon: "IconBolt",
isPinned: false,
},
});
```

## 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.
