feat(apps): split AI tool and workflow action triggers in LogicFunction manifest (#20208)

## Summary

Replaces the bolted-on `isTool` + `toolInputSchema` fields on
`LogicFunctionManifest` with two distinct, opt-in triggers that align
with the existing `cron` / `databaseEvent` / `httpRoute` trigger
pattern:

- **`toolTriggerSettings`** — exposes the function as an AI tool (chat /
MCP / function calling). Uses standard JSON Schema (the format LLMs
natively understand).
- **`workflowActionTriggerSettings`** — exposes the function as a step
in the visual workflow builder. Uses Twenty's rich `InputSchema` so the
builder can render proper `FieldMetadataType`-aware editors, variable
pickers, labels, and an optional `outputSchema`.

A function can opt into none, one, or both. Each surface gets the schema
format appropriate for it.

### Why

`isTool: true` previously exposed the function as both an AI tool AND a
workflow node, with the same JSON Schema feeding both — but the workflow
builder really wants Twenty's `InputSchema` (with `CURRENCY`,
`RELATION`, `EMAILS`, etc.) and the AI surface really wants standard
JSON Schema. Today the workflow builder hacks around this by treating
JSON Schema as `InputSchema`, which silently breaks for any
non-primitive field type. Splitting the triggers fixes that and lets
each surface evolve independently.

### Migration

- **Fast** instance command adds the two new nullable columns.
- **Slow** instance command backfills `toolTriggerSettings` +
`workflowActionTriggerSettings` from `isTool=true` rows (preserving
today's both-surfaces behaviour) then drops the legacy columns.

### Stacked

Stacked on top of #20181. Merge that first, then this.

## Test plan

- [ ] CI green (oxlint, typecheck, jest, vitest)
- [ ] Run `--include-slow` upgrade against a workspace with existing
`isTool=true` logic functions; verify both new columns populated and old
columns dropped
- [ ] Verify AI chat sees migrated tool functions (Linear create-issue,
Exa search) and can call them with the JSON Schema
- [ ] Add an AI-tool function from the Settings UI (toggles
`toolTriggerSettings`) and verify it shows up in chat
- [ ] Add a workflow-action function from the Settings UI (toggles
`workflowActionTriggerSettings`) and verify it appears in the workflow
node picker
- [ ] In the workflow builder, edit a `LOGIC_FUNCTION` step and verify
input fields render (no more JSON-Schema-as-InputSchema hack)
- [ ] Try defining a function with no triggers in the SDK and verify
`defineLogicFunction` rejects it

#### Exposing a function as a tool
#### Exposing a function as an AI tool or workflow action
Logic functions can be exposed as **tools** for AI agents and workflows. When marked as a tool, a function becomes discoverable by Twenty's AI features and can be used in workflow automations.
Logic functions can be exposed on two surfaces, each with its own trigger:
To mark a logic function as a tool, set `isTool: true`:
- **`toolTriggerSettings`** — makes the function discoverable by Twenty's AI features (chat, MCP, function calling). Uses standard JSON Schema, the format LLMs natively understand.
- **`workflowActionTriggerSettings`** — makes the function appear as a step in the visual workflow builder. Uses Twenty's rich `InputSchema` so the builder can render proper field editors, variable pickers, and labels.
A function can opt into one, the other, or both. They sit alongside `cronTriggerSettings`, `databaseEventTriggerSettings`, and `httpRouteTriggerSettings` — same pattern, same shape.

Key points:
- You can combine `isTool` with triggers — a function can be both a tool (callable by AI agents) and triggered by events at the same time.
- **`toolInputSchema`** (optional): A JSON Schema object describing the parameters your function accepts. The schema is computed automatically from source code static analysis, but you can set it explicitly:
- A function can mix surfaces — declare both `toolTriggerSettings` and `workflowActionTriggerSettings` to expose it in chat AND in the workflow builder.
- `toolTriggerSettings.inputSchema` and `workflowActionTriggerSettings.inputSchema` are both optional. When omitted, the manifest builder infers them from the handler source code (JSON Schema for the AI tool, Twenty's `InputSchema` for the workflow action). Provide one explicitly when you want richer typing — for example, with `FieldMetadataType`-aware fields like `CURRENCY` or `RELATION` for the workflow builder, or with `description` fields the AI agent can read:
```ts
export default defineLogicFunction({
...,
toolInputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
companyName: {
type: 'string',
description: 'The name of the company to enrich',
},
domain: {

Key points:
- Post-install functions use `definePostInstallLogicFunction()` — a specialized variant that omits trigger settings (`cronTriggerSettings`, `databaseEventTriggerSettings`, `httpRouteTriggerSettings`, `isTool`).
- Post-install functions use `definePostInstallLogicFunction()` — a specialized variant that omits trigger settings (`cronTriggerSettings`, `databaseEventTriggerSettings`, `httpRouteTriggerSettings`, `toolTriggerSettings`, `workflowActionTriggerSettings`).
- The handler receives an `InstallPayload` with `{ previousVersion?: string; newVersion: string }` — `newVersion` is the version being installed, and `previousVersion` is the version that was previously installed (or `undefined` on a fresh install). Use these values to distinguish fresh installs from upgrades and to run version-specific migration logic.
- **When the hook runs**: on fresh installs only, by default. Pass `shouldRunOnVersionUpgrade: true` if you also want it to run when the app is upgraded from a previous version. When omitted, the flag defaults to `false` and upgrades skip the hook.
- **Execution model — async by default, sync opt-in**: the `shouldRunSynchronously` flag controls *how* post-install is executed.
