AriqhermawanandGitHub 218799636f fix(docs): replace removed Mintlify build command (#20578)
## Summary
Closes #20565.

The Twenty docs package still pointed contributors at the removed
`mintlify build` command. This switches the docs workflow to a
`validate` command, which matches the supported Mintlify CLI command for
validating the documentation build, and updates the README wording to
match.

## Changes
- Replaced the `twenty-docs` package `build` script with a `validate`
script.
- Renamed the Nx docs target from `build` to `validate` and kept it
wired to `mintlify validate`.
- Updated the README validation command to `npx nx run
twenty-docs:validate`.

## Verification
```bash
$ npx -y mintlify validate --help
usage: mintlify validate [options]

Options:
  -t, --telemetry        Enable or disable anonymous usage telemetry   [boolean]
      --groups           Mock user groups for validation                 [array]
      --disable-openapi  Disable OpenAPI file generation
                                                      [boolean] [default: false]
  -h, --help             Show help                                     [boolean]
  -v, --version          Show version number                           [boolean]

Examples:
  mintlify validate  validate the build
```

```bash
$ npx -y mintlify build
Unknown command: build
```

I also started `npx -y mintlify validate --disable-openapi`; the CLI
recognized the command and began validating, but this Windows
environment could not finish Mintlify framework extraction because it
hit an EPERM symlink error inside the local `.mintlify` cache.

# Twenty Documentation
Official documentation for Twenty CRM, powered by [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com).
## 🌐 Live Site
Visit the documentation at [docs.twenty.com](https://docs.twenty.com)
## 📚 Content
This repository contains:
- **User Guide** (46 pages) - Complete guide for Twenty users
- **Developers** (24 pages) - Technical documentation for developers
- **Twenty UI** (25 pages) - UI component library documentation
## 🚀 Local Development
To run the documentation locally:
```bash
# From the twenty monorepo root
npx nx run twenty-docs:dev
```
The documentation will be available at `http://localhost:3000`
## 📝 Editing Content
### Adding/Editing Pages
1. Edit MDX files in the appropriate directory:
- `user-guide/` - User documentation
- `developers/` - Developer documentation
- `twenty-ui/` - Component documentation
2. Update `navigation/base-structure.json` if you need to change the tab/group hierarchy or add/remove pages. This file stays in the repo and is **not** uploaded to Crowdin.
3. Keep the translation template (`navigation/navigation.template.json`) in sync by running `yarn docs:generate-navigation-template` after editing the base structure. This template is the only file that should be pushed to Crowdin.
4. For each translated locale pulled from Crowdin, ensure a `packages/twenty-docs/l/<language>/navigation.json` file exists. These files contain **labels only**; page slugs always come from the base structure.
5. Run `yarn docs:generate` to rebuild `docs.json` from the base structure + translated labels.
### MDX Format
All documentation pages use MDX format with frontmatter:
```mdx
---
title: Page Title
description: Page description
image: /images/path/to/image.png
---
Your content here...
```
### Adding Images
1. Place images in the `/images/` directory
2. Reference them in MDX: `![Alt text](/images/your-image.png)`
3. Or use Mintlify Frame component:
```mdx
<Frame>
<img src="/images/your-image.png" alt="Description" />
</Frame>
```
## 🔧 Configuration
- `navigation/base-structure.json` - Source of truth for tabs, groups, icons, and page slugs (English only, not sent to Crowdin).
- `navigation/navigation.template.json` - Generated translation template (labels only) that is uploaded to Crowdin.
- `l/<language>/navigation.json` - Locale-specific label files pulled from Crowdin.
- `docs.json` - Generated Mintlify configuration (always run `yarn docs:generate` after modifying navigation files).
- `package.json` - Package dependencies and scripts (`docs:generate`, `docs:generate-navigation-template`, …).
- `project.json` - Nx workspace configuration
## 📦 Validation
```bash
# Validate the documentation build
npx nx run twenty-docs:validate
```
