MarieandGitHub c1da7be6d7 Billing for self-hosts (#18075)
## Summary

Implements enterprise licensing and per-seat billing for self-hosted
environments, with Stripe as the single source of truth for subscription
data.

### Components

- **twenty-website** hosts the private key to sign `ENTERPRISE_KEY` and
`ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN`. It communicates with Stripe to emit the
daily `ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN` if the subscription is active, based
on the user's Stripe subscription ID stored in `ENTERPRISE_KEY`.
- **Stripe** is the single source of truth for subscription data
(status, seats, billing).
- **The client** (twenty-server + DB + workers) saves `ENTERPRISE_KEY`
in the `keyValuePair` table (or `.env` if
`IS_CONFIG_VARIABLES_IN_DB_ENABLED` is false) and the daily-renewed
`ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN` in the `appToken` table.
`ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN` is verified client-side using a public key
to grant access to enterprise features (RLS, SSO, audit logs, etc.).

### Flow

1. When requesting an upgrade to an enterprise plan (from **Enterprise**
in settings), the user is shown a modal to choose monthly/yearly
billing, then redirected to Stripe to enter payment details. After
checkout, they land on twenty-website where they are exposed to their
`ENTERPRISE_KEY`, which they paste in the UI. It is saved in the
`keyValuePair` table. On activation, a first `ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN`
with 30-day validity is stored in the `appToken` table.

2. **Every day**, a cron job runs and does two things:
- **Refreshes the validity token**: communicates with twenty-website to
get a new `ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN` with 30-day validity if the Stripe
subscription is still active. If the subscription is in cancellation,
the emitted token has a validity equal to the cancellation date. If it's
no longer valid, the token is not replaced. The cron only needs to run
every 30 days in practice, but runs daily so it's resilient to
occasional failures.
- **Reports seat count**: counts active (non-soft-deleted)
`UserWorkspace` entries and sends the count to twenty-website, which
updates the Stripe subscription quantity with proration. Seats are also
reported on first activation. If the subscription is canceled or
scheduled for cancellation, the seat update is skipped.

3. `ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN` is verified server-side via a public key
to grant access to enterprise features.

### Key concepts

Three distinct checks are exposed as GraphQL fields on `Workspace`:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `hasValidEnterpriseKey` | Has any valid enterprise key (signed JWT
**or** legacy plain string) |
| `hasValidSignedEnterpriseKey` | `ENTERPRISE_KEY` is a properly signed
JWT (billing portal makes sense) |
| `hasValidEnterpriseValidityToken` | `ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN` is
present and not expired (expiration depends on signed token payload, not
on "expiresAt" on appToken table which is only indicative) |

Feature access is gated by `isValid()` =
`hasValidEnterpriseValidityToken || hasValidEnterpriseKey` (to support
both new and legacy keys during transition). After transition isValid()
= hasValidEnterpriseValidityToken

### Frontend states

The Enterprise settings page handles multiple states:
- **No key**: show "Get Enterprise" with checkout modal
- **Orphaned validity token** (token valid but no signed key): prompt
user to set a valid enterprise key
- **Active/trialing but no validity token**: show subscription status
with a "Reload validity token" action
- **Active/trialing**: show full subscription info, billing portal
access, cancel option
- **Cancellation scheduled**: show cancellation date, billing portal
- **Canceled**: show billing history link and option to start a new
subscription
- **Past due / Incomplete**: prompt to update payment or restart

### Temporary retro-compatibility: legacy plain-text keys

Previously, enterprise features were gated by a simple check: any
non-empty string in `ENTERPRISE_KEY` granted access. With this PR, we
transition to a controlled system relying on signed JWTs.

To avoid breaking existing self-hosted users:
- **Legacy plain-text keys still grant access** to enterprise features.
`hasValidEnterpriseKey` returns `true` for both signed JWTs and plain
strings, and `isValid()` checks `hasValidEnterpriseKey` as a fallback
when no validity token is present.
- **A deprecation banner** is shown at the top of the app when
`hasValidEnterpriseKey` is `true` but `hasValidSignedEnterpriseKey` is
`false`, informing the user that their key format is deprecated and they
should activate a new signed key.
- **No billing portal or subscription management** is available for
legacy keys since there is no Stripe subscription to manage.

This retro-compatibility will be removed in a future version. At that
point, `isValid()` will only check `hasValidEnterpriseValidityToken`.

### Edge cases

- **Air-gapped / production environments**: for self-hosted clients that
block external traffic (or for our own production), provide a long-lived
`ENTERPRISE_VALIDITY_TOKEN` (e.g. 99 years) directly in the `appToken`
table, with no `ENTERPRISE_KEY`. The daily cron will skip the refresh
(no enterprise key to authenticate with), but the pre-seeded validity
token will be used to grant feature access. No billing or seat reporting
occurs in this mode.
- **`IS_CONFIG_VARIABLES_IN_DB_ENABLED` is false**: if the user tries to
activate an enterprise key but DB config writes are disabled, the
backend returns a clear error asking them to add `ENTERPRISE_KEY` to
their `.env` file manually.
- **Canceled subscriptions**: the `/seats` endpoint skips Stripe updates
for canceled or cancellation-scheduled subscriptions to avoid Stripe API
errors.

### How to test
- launch twenty-website on a different url (eg localhost:1002)
- add ENTERPRISE_API_URL=http://localhost:3002/api/enterprise (or else)
in your server .env
- ask me for twenty-website's .env file content (STRIPE_SECRET_KEY;
STRIPE_ENTERPRISE_MONTHLY_PRICE_ID;STRIPE_ENTERPRISE_YEARLY_PRICE_ID;
ENTERPRISE_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY; ENTERPRISE_JWT_PUBLIC_KEY;
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_URL)
- visit Admin panel / enterprise
