Abdullah.andGitHub 1f1a1ea138 fix(workflows): align variable regex with validation and prevent ReDoS (#16607)
**What this fixes:**
- Addresses a CodeQL security finding: the regex used to find variables
in workflow strings could be slow on malicious inputs (ReDoS).
- Two alerts: [Code Scanning
181](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/security/code-scanning/181) and
[Code Scanning
182](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/security/code-scanning/182)

**Context:**
- Our workflow system lets users insert variables like `{{user.name}}`
or `{{trigger.properties.after.name}}` into strings and JSON (HTTP
request bodies, record field values, etc.).
- The `variable-resolver.ts` module scans these strings and replaces
variables with actual values.
- Our validation (`isValidVariable`) already enforces that variables
contain no `{` or `}` inside them (only simple property paths like
`user.name`).

**The change:**
- Updated the regex from `/\{\{(.*?)\}\}/g` to `/\{\{([^{}]+)\}\}/g` to
match our validation pattern.
- This removes the ReDoS risk and aligns the resolver with the
validation contract.

**Why this is safe:**
- All supported workflow usage (simple variable paths) continues to
work.
- Both `match` and `replace` behave the same for valid variables.
- Only unsupported patterns with nested braces (e.g., `{{foo {bar}}}`)
would stop matching, which isn't part of our supported syntax anyway.
