## Context
Deprecating the old objectMetadataMap type in favour of split flat
entities to match with our new caching.
In the long run, trying to achieve:
- Better performance through caching
- Consistent data access patterns across the codebase
- Reduced database queries
Now that everything is based on flat entities, which are cached, we can
finish the refactoring of workspace context cache which should already
improve performances.
Then the last step will be to consume that new cache in the new global
datasource to get rid of the many workspace datasources stored in the
server
Closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/748
In the frame of the work on permissions we
- remove all raw queries possible to use repositories instead
- forbid usage workspaceDataSource.executeRawQueries()
- restrict usage of workspaceDataSource.query() to force developers to
pass on shouldBypassPermissionChecks to use it.

Refactored the code to introduce two different concepts:
- AuditLogs (immutable, raw data)
- TimelineActivities (user-friendly, transformed data)
Still some work needed:
- Add message, files, calendar events to timeline (~2 hours if done
naively)
- Refactor repository to try to abstract concept when we can (tbd, wait
for Twenty ORM)
- Introduce ability to display child timelines on parent timeline with
filtering (~2 days)
- Improve UI: add links to open note/task, improve diff display, etc
(half a day)
- Decide the path forward for Task vs Notes: either introduce a new
field type "Record Type" and start going into that direction ; or split
in two objects?
- Trigger updates when a field is changed (will be solved by real-time /
websockets: 2 weeks)
- Integrate behavioral events (1 day for POC, 1 week for
clean/documented)
