5d438bb70c Docs: restructure navigation, add halftone illustrations, clean up hero images (#19728)
## Summary

- **New Getting Started section** with quickstart guide and restructured
navigation
- **Halftone-style illustrations** for User Guide and Developer
introduction cards using a Canvas 2D filter script
- **Removed hero images** (`image:` frontmatter + `<Frame><img>` blocks)
from all user-guide article pages
- **Cleaned up translations** (13 languages): removed hero images and
updated introduction cards to use halftone style
- **Cleaned up twenty-ui pages**: removed outdated hero images from
component docs
- **Deleted orphaned images**: `table.png`, `kanban.png`
- **Developer page**: fixed duplicate icon, switched to 3-column layout

## Test plan

- [ ] Verify docs site builds without errors
- [ ] Check User Guide introduction page renders halftone card images in
both light and dark mode
- [ ] Check Developer introduction page renders 3-column layout with
distinct icons
- [ ] Confirm article pages no longer show hero images at the top
- [ ] Spot-check a few translated pages to ensure hero images are
removed

## API
API (Application Programming Interface) allows you to connect Twenty with other software systems and build custom integrations.
## Apps
Apps are custom extensions built as code that can define data models and logic functions. They enable developers to create reusable customizations that can be deployed across multiple workspaces.
## Code Actions
Code Actions are workflow steps that let you write custom JavaScript to transform data, make calculations, or perform complex logic that isn't possible with built-in actions.
## Command Menu
The Command Menu is a quick-access interface (opened with `Cmd + K` on Mac and `Ctrl + K` on Windows) that lets you perform actions, create records, and navigate your workspace efficiently.
## Company & People
The CRM has two fundamental types of records:
- A `Company` represents a business or organization.
- `People` represent your company's current and prospective customers or clients.
## Custom Fields
Custom Fields are data fields you create to capture information specific to your business needs and processes.
## Data Model
A Data Model is the structure that defines how information is organized in your CRM, including what objects exist, their properties (fields), and how they relate to each other.
## Favorites
Favorites are records you've marked for quick access, appearing in your sidebar for instant navigation to important data.
## Field
A field refers to a specific area where particular data is stored for an entity.
## Iterator
An Iterator is a workflow action that loops through an array of items, executing subsequent actions for each item in the list.
## Kanban
A `Kanban` is a visual way to track your business processes using cards and columns. Each column represents a stage in your process (for example: new, ongoing, won, lost), and you move records through these stages as they progress.
## Object
An Object is a data structure that represents a specific type of entity in your CRM (like People, Companies, or Opportunities). Objects can be standard (built-in) or custom (created by you).
## Opportunities
Opportunities in Twenty CRM are potential deals or sales with accounts or contacts.
## Record
A Record indicates an instance of an object, like a specific account or contact.
## Relation Fields
Relation Fields create connections between different objects, allowing you to link records together (like connecting a Person to a Company).
## Standard Fields
Standard Fields are pre-built data fields that come with objects by default and provide common functionality across all workspaces.
## Tasks
Tasks in Twenty CRM are assigned activities relating to contacts, accounts, or opportunities.
## Triggers
Triggers are the starting point of a workflow — the event or condition that initiates the automation. Examples include record creation, record updates, webhooks, or scheduled times.
## Views
You can customize the display of your records using views, setting different filters, layouts and sorting options for each view.
## Upsert
Upsert is an operation that combines "update" and "insert" — it updates an existing record if a match is found, or creates a new record if no match exists.
## Webhooks
Webhooks are automated messages sent from Twenty to other applications when specific events occur, enabling real-time data synchronization.
## Workflows
Workflows are automated processes that trigger actions based on specific conditions, helping you automate repetitive tasks and business processes.
## Workspace
A `Workspace` typically represents a company using Twenty. It holds all the records and data that you and your team members add to Twenty.
It has a single domain name, which is typically the domain name your company uses for employee email addresses.
## Workspace Members
Workspace Members are the Twenty users from your team who have access to your workspace. They can be assigned as owners or assignees for records.
