## 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

The official scaffolding CLI for building apps on top of Twenty CRM. Sets up a ready-to-run project with twenty-sdk.

The scaffolder will:
- Create a new project with TypeScript, linting, tests, and a preconfigured
twentyCLI - Optionally start a local Twenty server (Docker)
- Open the browser for OAuth authentication

- Publishing — deploy, npm publish, marketplace
Troubleshooting
- Server not starting: check Docker is running (
docker info), then tryyarn twenty server logs. - Auth not working: make sure you are logged in to Twenty in the browser, then run
yarn twenty remote add. - Types not generated: ensure
yarn twenty devis running — it auto-generates the typed client.
