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- **Cleaned up twenty-ui pages**: removed outdated hero images from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

## Useful commands
These commands should be executed from packages/twenty-server folder.
From any other folder you can run `npx nx {command} twenty-server` (or `npx nx run twenty-server:{command}`).
### First time setup
```
npx nx database:reset twenty-server # setup the database with dev seeds
```
### Starting the server
```
npx nx run twenty-server:start
```
### Lint
```
npx nx run twenty-server:lint # pass --fix to fix lint errors
```
### Test
```
npx nx run twenty-server:test:unit # run unit tests
npx nx run twenty-server:test:integration # run integration tests
```
Note: you can run `npx nx run twenty-server:test:integration:with-db-reset` in case you need to reset the database before running the integration tests.
### Resetting the database
If you want to reset and seed the database, you can run the following command:
```bash
npx nx run twenty-server:database:reset
```
### Migrations
#### For objects in Core/Metadata schemas (TypeORM)
```bash
npx nx run twenty-server:database:migrate:generate
```
## Tech Stack
Twenty primarily uses NestJS for the backend.
Prisma was the first ORM we used. But in order to allow users to create custom fields and custom objects, a lower-level made more sense as we need to have fine-grained control. The project now uses TypeORM.
Here's what the tech stack now looks like.
**Core**
- [NestJS](https://nestjs.com/)
- [TypeORM](https://typeorm.io/)
- [GraphQL Yoga](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server)
**Database**
- [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/)
**Third-party integrations**
- [Sentry](https://sentry.io/welcome/) for tracking bugs
**Testing**
- [Jest](https://jestjs.io/)
**Tooling**
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)
- [Oxlint](https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/linter.html)
**Development**
- [AWS EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/eks/)
