# Introduction
## Centralize system field definitions
- Extract a single `PARTIAL_SYSTEM_FLAT_FIELD_METADATAS` constant as the
source of truth for all 8 system fields (`id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`,
`deletedAt`, `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector`),
eliminating duplication across custom object and standard app field
builders
- Refactor `buildDefaultFlatFieldMetadatasForCustomObject` to use the
shared constant via a new `buildObjectSystemFlatFieldMetadatas` helper
## Mark system fields as `isSystem: true`
- Fields `id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`,
`updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector` are now properly flagged as
system fields across all standard objects and custom object creation
- Standard app field builders for all ~30 standard objects updated to
set `isSystem: true` on `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`,
`createdBy`, `updatedBy`
- System-only standard objects (blocklist, calendar channels, message
threads, etc.) now also include `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`,
`searchVector` field definitions that were previously missing
## Validate system fields on object creation
- New transversal validation (`crossEntityTransversalValidation`) runs
after all atomic entity validations in the build orchestrator, ensuring
all 8 system fields are present with correct `type` and `isSystem: true`
when an object is created
- New `buildUniversalFlatObjectFieldByNameAndJoinColumnMaps` utility to
resolve field names to universal identifiers for a given object
- New exception codes: `MISSING_SYSTEM_FIELD` and `INVALID_SYSTEM_FIELD`
on `ObjectMetadataExceptionCode`
## Protect system fields and objects from mutation
- Field validators now block update/delete of `isSystem` fields by
non-system callers (`FIELD_MUTATION_NOT_ALLOWED`)
- Object validators now block update/delete of `isSystem` objects by
non-system callers
- `POSITION` and `TS_VECTOR` field type validators replaced: instead of
rejecting creation outright, they now validate that the field is named
correctly (`position` / `searchVector`) and has `isSystem: true`
## Distinguish `isSystemBuild` from `isCallerTwentyStandardApp`
- New `isCallerTwentyStandardApp` utility checks whether the caller's
`applicationUniversalIdentifier` matches the twenty standard app
- Name-sync logic (`isFlatFieldMetadataNameSyncedWithLabel`,
`areFlatObjectMetadataNamesSyncedWithLabels`) refactored to use
`isCallerTwentyStandardApp` for custom suffix decisions, keeping
`isSystemBuild` for mutation permission checks
- `WorkspaceMigrationBuilderOptions` type updated to include
`applicationUniversalIdentifier`
## Adapt frontend filtering
- New `HIDDEN_SYSTEM_FIELD_NAMES` constant (`id`, `position`,
`searchVector`) and `isHiddenSystemField` utility to only hide truly
internal fields while keeping user-facing system fields (`createdAt`,
`updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`, `updatedBy`) visible in the UI
- ~20 frontend files updated to replace `!field.isSystem` checks with
`!isHiddenSystemField(field)` across record index, settings, data model,
charts, workflows, spreadsheet import, aggregations, and role
permissions
## Add 1.19 upgrade commands
- **`backfill-system-fields-is-system`**: Raw SQL command to set
`isSystem = true` on existing workspace fields matching system field
names, and fix `position` field type from `NUMBER` to `POSITION` for
`favorite`/`favoriteFolder` objects. Includes proper cache invalidation.
- **`add-missing-system-fields-to-standard-objects`**: Codegen'd
workspace migration to create missing `position`, `searchVector`,
`createdBy`, `updatedBy` fields on standard objects that didn't
previously have them. Runs via `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerService` in a
single transaction with idempotency check. **Known limitation**: assumes
all standard objects exist and are valid in the target workspace.
## Add `universalIdentifier` for system fields in standard object
constants
- `standard-object.constant.ts` updated to include `universalIdentifier`
for `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`, and `searchVector` across all
standard objects
- `fieldManifestType.ts` updated to support the new field manifest shape
## System relation
Completely removed and backfilled all `isSystem` relation to be false
false
As we won't require an object to have any relation system fields
## Add integration tests
- New test suite `failing-sync-application-object-system-fields`
covering: missing system fields, wrong field types (`id` as TEXT,
`createdAt` as TEXT, `position` as TEXT), system field deletion
attempts, and system field update attempts
- New test utilities: `buildDefaultObjectManifest` (builds an object
manifest with all 8 system fields) and `setupApplicationForSync`
(centralizes application setup)
- Existing successful sync test updated to verify system fields are
created with correct properties
## Next step
Make the builder scope the compared entity to be the currently built app
+ nor twenty standard app
This PR adds Message folder association for message channel messages,
Currently under testing phase, not ready yet.

## Summary
- Replace all generic `"Unknown error"` fallback messages across the
server codebase with messages that include the actual error details
- The most impactful change is in `guard-redirect.service.ts`, which
handles OAuth redirect errors — non-`AuthException` errors (e.g.,
passport state verification failures) now show `"Authentication error:
<actual message>"` instead of the opaque `"Unknown error"`
- Gmail/Google error handler services now include the error message in
the thrown exception instead of discarding it
- Other catch blocks (workflow delay resume, migration runner rollback,
code interpreter, marketplace) now use `String(error)` for non-Error
objects instead of a static fallback
Fixes the class of issues reported in
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/17812, where a user saw
"Unknown error" during Google OAuth and had no way to diagnose the root
cause (which turned out to be a session cookie / SSL configuration
issue).
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify OAuth error flows (e.g., Google Auth with misconfigured
callback URL) now display the actual error message on the `/verify` page
instead of "Unknown error"
- [ ] Verify Gmail sync error handling still correctly classifies and
re-throws errors with descriptive messages
- [ ] Verify workflow delay resume failures include the error details in
the workflow run status

This fixes two edge cases for Gmail
- When policy was set to `SELECTED_FOLDERS` excluding root INBOX, it
missed label changes, so messages with newly applied labels weren't
imported until a full resync.
- Gmail thread replies by default by default do no inherit parent
message's label properties so thread context was also lost because only
individually labeled messages were returned, dropping earlier parts of
the conversation.
Fixed by subscribing to `labelAdded`/`labelRemoved` history events and
fetching full thread context when at least one message in a thread
carries a synced label. `ALL_FOLDERS` path is untouched.
Gmail 429/403 rate-limit responses include an explicit retry-after
timestamp, usually ~15 minutes out.
The exponential backoff starts at 1 minute, so the channel burns through
all 5 retry attempts before the window actually closes and gets marked
as permanently failed.
Adds throttleRetryAfter to the message channel and uses max(backoff,
retryAfter) in isThrottled().
Previous code in `MESSAGING_GMAIL_DEFAULT_NOT_SYNCED_LABELS` was
problematic as we grouped `category` labels along with `system folders`
labels together.
This fixes partially missing emails issue by splitting it and not
applying category exclusion when querying for a singular custom label.
Also removes old approach of getting message label_id's association from
additional network call overhead to local utility
`filterGmailMessagesByFolderPolicy`
Replace manual HTTP batch implementation with
`@jrmdayn/googleapis-batcher` library (we already use this for fetching
message list)
Initial real testing works fine but do not merge yet needs more
extensive real test runs
PR #17492 fixed `markAsMessagesListFetchOngoing` to set
`syncStageStartedAt`, but also changed `isSyncStale` to return `false`
for null values. This prevented the stale recovery job from recovering
channels that were already stuck before the fix was deployed.
Changing `isSyncStale` to return `true` for null/undefined allows the
stale job to properly reset stuck channels back to PENDING state.
## Context
Introduces a middleware that automatically sets the workspace auth
context in AsyncLocalStorage for HTTP requests, making it available
throughout the request lifecycle without explicit parameter passing.
The motivation behind this change is to reduce boilerplate and simplify
the developer experience when working with workspace data in HTTP
request handlers.
The Problem (Before)
Every HTTP request handler that needed to access workspace data had to:
- Extract auth-related info from decorators (@AuthWorkspace(),
@AuthUserWorkspaceId(), etc.) in controller/resolver and pass down to
services
- Build or pass the authContext explicitly (sometimes with type
assertion which was flaky)
Then call executeInWorkspaceContext(authContext, async () => { ... })
## Changes
- Add WorkspaceAuthContextMiddleware that extracts auth context from the
request and stores it in AsyncLocalStorage
- Register middleware for GraphQL, metadata, and REST routes (runs after
hydration middlewares)
- Simplify executeInWorkspaceContext signature: fn is now the first
parameter, authContext is optional second
- If authContext is not provided, it's automatically retrieved from the
storage (set by middleware)
- Update all callers (~120 files) to use the new parameter order
- Fixes a bug in search where system auth context was used, bypassing
RLS feature.
Gmail emails often have multiple labels - an email in "XYZ" label
typically also has "INBOX". The previous negative filter approach
(-label:inbox -label:sent...) excluded these emails entirely, even when
they had a selected label.
Switched to positive OR filtering: (label:cyz OR label:xyz-visible)
-label:spam... which correctly fetches emails with any of the selected
labels regardless of other labels they have.
This edge case wasn't caught earlier because manual testing with INBOX
selected worked fine - it only surfaced when selecting custom labels
without INBOX.
Gmail sync was importing messages from folders users had explicitly
disabled because the folder filtering logic lived in the parent service
but the Gmail driver wasn't aware of the import policy when building its
API queries.
Moved messageFolderImportPolicy down to the driver level so Gmail can
- Build proper -label: exclusions during initial sync
- Added `buildGmailLabelSearchName` as our syntax for nested folders was
wrong
- Filter out messages from disabled folders during incremental sync via
history API
## Changes
- Removed complex retry logic in `ImapClientProvider` by delegating to
root orchestrator
- Added `parseImapAuthenticationError` for handling revoked
authentication credentials previously the code existed in
`parse-imap-error.util` but it didn't belong there and nor was not used
in `ImapClientProvider` causing revoked channels to be stuck in limbo
- Removed `parseImapError` from `*-error-handler.service.ts `
- Created `isImapNetworkError` for consistency with Gmail and Microsoft
- `isImapNetworkError` is called at utility level for consistency
`MessageImportExceptionHandlerService.handleSyncCursorErrorException()`
was calling `messageChannelSyncStatusService.markAsFailed()`
instead of
`messageChannelSyncStatusService.resetAndMarkAsMessagesListFetchPending()`
Also adds a new command `MessagingTriggerMessageListFetchCommand` for
faster local development speed

close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1910
We've completely decom the `sync-metadata` in production. We're now then
removing its implementation in favor of the v2.
## TODO:
- [x] Remove sync-metadata implem and commands
- [x] Remove workspace decorators
- [x] Type each deprecated field to deprecated on their workspaceEntity
- [x] Remove the `workspace-sync-metadata` folder entirely
- [x] remove workspace migration
- [x] workspace migration removal migration
- [x] remove the `v2` references from workspace manager file names
- [x] remove the `v2` references from workspace manager modules
- [ ] Double check impact on translation file path updates
## Note
- Removed the gate logic
- Remains some service v2 naming, serverless needs to be migrated on v2
fully
- Removed workspaceMigration service app health consumption, making it
always returning up ( no more down ) cc @FelixMalfait ( quite obsolete
health check now, will require complete refactor once we introduce inter
app dependency etc )
Solves #16015
- Added a check in `useTimelineActivities.ts` to see if the system
object page we're viewing has timelineActivity being tracked before
querying to get the activity history.
- Removed @WorkspaceIsObjectUIReadOnly decorator from system objects and
added @WorkspaceIsFieldUIReadOnly to standard and system fields to allow
custom field edits as requested in the issue.
- Did not add calendarEvents or other system objects to timelineActivity
just yet since keeping track of timeline activity for every one of them
felt counter-intuitive and bloated. In order to determine which objects
need timelineActivity, I think we need to fix the broken views of system
objects first, such as the one in the attached screenshots - a good
number of them are broken. The check I added to
`useTimelineActivities.ts` hook displays timeline activity as empty for
the time - error would not be shown as suggested by Thomas.

/>
- Editing custom fields on calendar events (and other objects without
position fields) crashed with TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or
null to object in sortCachedObjectEdges. This happened because some
cached queries had empty orderBy arrays ([]), and the optimistic effect
tried to sort with them. Objects without position fields returned
empty orderBy arrays when there were no sorts, while objects with
position fields automatically got [{ position: 'AscNullsFirst' }].
The backend always adds { id: 'AscNullsFirst' } as a fallback, but
the frontend didn't match this. So, I added { id: 'AscNullsFirst' } to
the Frontend as default orderBy when there are no sorts and no position
field.

> [!NOTE]
> Apply per-field UI read-only to system/standard fields and skip
timeline activity fetching when the target object isn’t related; refine
record-table cell open/navigation behavior.
>
> - Server: Replace object-level UI read-only with per-field
`isUIReadOnly` across many standard objects (e.g., `calendarEvent`,
`workspaceMember`, messaging, calendar, favorites, attachments,
workflows, etc.), and mirror this via `@WorkspaceIsFieldUIReadOnly` on
workspace entities.
> - Frontend: In `useTimelineActivities.ts`, check object metadata for a
relation to `timelineActivity` and `skip` the query when absent,
preventing errors on system object pages.
> - Frontend: Simplify/adjust record-table cell logic—remove unused
args, allow navigation from first column when non-empty, block editing
for read-only records (while still allowing navigation), and update
button handlers/hover styles accordingly.

# Fix: URL Encoding Bug & Code Refactor
## Issue
**Bug**: URLs with encoded characters (e.g., `%20` for spaces) were
being double-encoded or incorrectly processed in
[lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:4:0-16:2),
causing URL mismatches and potential data integrity issues.
**Build Error**: `TS2307: Cannot find module
'src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/utils/safe-decode-uri-component.util'`
## Root Cause Analysis
### 1. Missing URL Decoding
The
[lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:4:0-16:2)
function was processing URLs without properly decoding URI components.
When URLs contained encoded characters like `%20`, `%2F`, etc., they
weren't being normalized correctly.
### 2. Invalid Cross-Package Import
The fix attempted to import
[safeDecodeURIComponent](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-6:2)
from `twenty-server`:
```typescript
import { safeDecodeURIComponent } from 'src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/utils/safe-decode-uri-component.util';
```
This failed because:
- The file resides in `twenty-shared`, a separate package
- TypeScript cannot resolve internal paths from another package
- The monorepo uses package exports (`twenty-shared/utils`) for
cross-package imports, not direct file paths
## Solution
### 1. Bug Fix: Added Safe URI Decoding
Updated
[lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:0:0-0:0)
to properly decode URL components:
```typescript
export const lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash = (rawUrl: string) => {
const url = getURLSafely(rawUrl);
if (!isDefined(url)) {
return rawUrl;
}
const lowercaseOrigin = url.origin.toLowerCase();
const path =
safeDecodeURIComponent(url.pathname) +
safeDecodeURIComponent(url.search) +
url.hash;
return (lowercaseOrigin + path).replace(/\/$/, '');
};
```
The
[safeDecodeURIComponent](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-6:2)
wrapper handles malformed URI sequences gracefully by returning the
original string if decoding fails, preventing runtime crashes.
### 2. Refactor: Consolidated Shared Utility
**Before**: Duplicate utility existed in `twenty-server`
```
twenty-server/src/modules/messaging/.../utils/safe-decode-uri-component.util.ts
```
**After**: Single source of truth in `twenty-shared`
```
twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts
```
This follows the established pattern in the codebase where shared
utilities live in `twenty-shared` and are imported via subpath exports:
```typescript
// In twenty-server
import { safeDecodeURIComponent } from 'twenty-shared/utils';
// In twenty-shared (local import)
import { safeDecodeURIComponent } from './safeDecodeURIComponent';
```
## Files Changed
| File | Action | Description |
|------|--------|-------------|
|
[twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-0:0)
| **Created** | New shared utility (moved from twenty-server) |
|
[twenty-shared/src/utils/url/index.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/index.ts:0:0-0:0)
| **Modified** | Added export for
[safeDecodeURIComponent](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-6:2)
|
|
[twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:0:0-0:0)
| **Modified** | Fixed import path, now uses local relative import |
| `twenty-server/.../imap-message-text-extractor.service.ts` |
**Modified** | Updated import to use `twenty-shared/utils` |
| `twenty-server/.../safe-decode-uri-component.util.ts` | **Deleted** |
Removed duplicate utility |
## The Utility
```typescript
// safeDecodeURIComponent.ts
export const safeDecodeURIComponent = (text: string): string => {
try {
return decodeURIComponent(text);
} catch {
return text;
}
};
```
This wrapper is necessary because `decodeURIComponent()` throws a
`URIError` on malformed sequences (e.g., `%E0%A4%A`). The safe version
returns the original string instead of crashing.
## Testing
- **342 tests passed** in `twenty-shared`
- `lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.test.ts` validates URL
normalization behavior
- No regressions in existing functionality
## Impact
- **Bug Fixed**: URLs with encoded characters are now properly
normalized
- **Code Quality**: Eliminated code duplication between packages
- **Maintainability**: Single source of truth for URI decoding utility
- **Build**: Resolved TS2307 compilation error

# TimelineActivity migration to morph
- Creates `timelineActivities2` relations on Company, Dashboard, Note,
Opportunity, Person, Task, Workflow, WorkflowRun, and WorkflowVersion
entities with proper metadata and cascade delete behavior.
It was required to create standard fields as well since the
mapObjectMetadataByUniqueIdentifier needs it. otherwise the fields won't
be considered
- Feature Flag `IS_TIMELINE_ACTIVITY_MIGRATED` necessary to have the two
states in parallel. It is used as a stamp once the migration has been
run
- Migration is done using the coreDataSource. Why ?
even though is unsafe to use, the first implementation of the migration
took forever on each workspace. See [this
commit](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15652/commits/477011e8d7d4c580f79ba7ec4a8fb002a3ec86b2)
The plan for this complex migration is as follows :

Note: we will need to rename fields in the release 1.12 (there is no
easy way to do all this in one release)
## Context
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/16399
Now using the new global orm manager everywhere and returning a
GlobalDatasource/WorkspaceDatasource based on a feature flag.
This means we now need to wrap all our ORM calls within
executeInWorkspaceContext callback (at least for now) so the global
datasource can dynamically hydrate its context via the new store (the
global datasource does not store anything related to workspaces as it is
now a unique singleton). If feature flag is off it still uses local data
stored in the workspace datasource.
This is a known quirk of many Google APIs, including Gmail. Some error
responses use numeric code fields (e.g., 403), while others may return
them as strings (e.g., "403"). This depends on which internal service
returns the error and the language client you’re using.
## Context
Deprecating TwentyORMManager in favor of TwentyORMGlobalManager
(temporarily, as this will simplify the ultimate goal to later replace
all usages with the new TwentyORMGlobalManagerV2 which will have a
similar signature)
This means this PR had to refactor a bit of code to pass down the
workspaceId when not available directly as it is now a requirement,
meaning we also deprecated scopedWorkspaceContextFactory to have a less
obscure way to fetch the workspaceId and have something more
declarative.
Step 3 will be to update TwentyORMGlobalManager to use a featureFlag
toggling and use the new GlobalWorkspaceOrmManager internally using the
new cache service
Step 4 will be to remove the feature flag and pg_pool patch
In this PR:
- add more logs to troubleshoot issues in production
- use messageChannelSyncStatus in messageSync service instead of making
a manual update
Mainly clarifying naming (scheduleMessageImport was actually tagging as
PENDING)
+ tagging as SCHEDULED in case of direct import (we skip PENDING state)
In this PR:
- change messaging / calendar stale duration check to 30minutes (cron is
running every 1h, duration check was 1h, so evaluation was flaky)
- when temporary error (throttling), preserve syncStageStartedAt as this
is necessary to assess exponential throttling
