Félix Malfait 91f2f08995 feat(server): unify workspace-event ingestion behind one EventSink pipeline (#21197)
## Why

The five event-log streams (`workspaceEvent`, `pageview`, `objectEvent`,
`usageEvent`, `applicationLog`) each wrote to ClickHouse through their
own fire-and-forget writer (`AuditService`, `UsageEventWriterService`,
and the `application-logs` driver), with the per-type knowledge (table
names, normalization, access rules) spread across several modules. Three
of them reimplemented the same ClickHouse insert, and the read side, the
live stream, and the producers lived in different modules under two
different names.

This consolidates them into one `core-modules/event-logs/` subsystem
(emit, write, live, read), with the per-type config in a single registry
so adding an event type is roughly one file.

The base Logs settings tab and free application logs shipped separately
in #21180 (merged). This PR adds the unified backend, the registry, and
the viewer's live mode and entitlement gating.

## What it does

- Producers call `EventLogEmitterService.createContext().insert*()`,
which builds a typed `WorkspaceEventEnvelope` and writes it through
`WorkspaceEventSinkService` to the configured sinks (ClickHouse,
Console) plus a presence-gated live fan-out. Record/CRUD events reach
the same sink through the existing `entityEventsToDbQueue`. There is no
dedicated queue; ClickHouse `async_insert` batches server-side. Writes
are best-effort, as on main today.
- `EVENT_LOG_TYPES[table]` is the per-type source of truth: the
ClickHouse table, the required entitlement, the free-text filter column,
and the row-to-GraphQL mapping. Read row shapes derive from the write
rows.
- Four modules along their dependency boundaries:
`EventLogEmitterModule` (producer API), `EventLogIngestionModule` (sink
layer), `EventLogLiveModule` (fan-out), and `EventLogsViewerModule` (the
entitlement-gated GraphQL read, which is where
billing/enterprise/permissions stay so producers stay light).
- Logs viewer: per-table columns, filters (text, date, record), live
mode, and an upgrade card that points to Billing on Cloud or the Admin
Panel on self-hosted. Application logs are free on every plan; the other
four require the `AUDIT_LOGS` entitlement (with a `NO_ENTITLEMENT`
fallback to the upgrade card).
- Renames `AuditService` to `EventLogEmitterService`, and the generic
`Monitoring` event to a typed `Impersonation` event (`level` +
`action`).
- Removes `UsageEventWriterService`, the `application-logs`
driver/module, and `AuditService`'s direct inserts.

## Durability

Writes are best-effort, the same as main today (the old writers were
fire-and-forget). A dedicated queue was tried mid-PR and removed:
`async_insert` already batches server-side, so the queue only added
durability, which isn't a requirement right now. The `EventSink` seam
keeps a durable transport (e.g. a Redis-Streams buffer) easy to add
later without touching producers.

## Out of scope

S3 peer sink (seam only), Postgres or any second read path,
`ReplicatedMergeTree`, ClickHouse table-schema changes, and the
record-data `EVENT_STREAM_CHANNEL` (unchanged, separate concern).

## Testing

Unit tests cover the registry definitions and row normalization, the
entitlement gating, the envelope builders, and the producers.
Integration tests cover the write paths (record create produces an
`objectEvent`; the track mutation produces a `workspaceEvent`) and the
read/query path across all five tables. Verified with typecheck, lint, a
server boot, and GraphQL/SDK codegen.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
