## 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.
## Test plan

- [x] \`npx nx run twenty-sdk:typecheck\` passes
- [x] \`npx nx run twenty-sdk:test:unit\` passes (31 files / 257 tests)
- [x] \`npx nx run-many -t typecheck
--projects=twenty-front,twenty-server,twenty-front-component-renderer,twenty-sdk,twenty-shared,bundle-investigation\`

## 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
```

## 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
