## Summary
This PR enforces that all custom exceptions must provide a
`userFriendlyMessage`, ensuring end users always see readable error
messages.
## Changes
### Core Changes
- **`CustomException` simplified**: Removed the `ForceFriendlyMessage`
generic parameter - `userFriendlyMessage` is now always required
- **Type safety**: The constructor now requires `{ userFriendlyMessage:
MessageDescriptor }` (no longer optional)
### Updated Files
- **74+ exception classes** updated to provide default user-friendly
messages using Lingui `msg` macro
- Each exception class has a sensible fallback message (e.g., `msg\`An
authentication error occurred.\``)
- Exception classes that had code-specific message maps retain their
behavior
## Benefits
- **Compile-time enforcement**: Forgetting to add a user-friendly
message now causes a TypeScript error
- **Better UX**: End users always see a localized, human-readable error
message
- **Simpler API**: No more boolean generic parameter to think about
## Testing
- `npx nx run twenty-server:typecheck` passes
- `npx nx run twenty-server:lint` passes

> [!NOTE]
> Enforces `userFriendlyMessage` on `CustomException` and updates all
exception classes to supply localized default messages, with
filters/tests adjusted accordingly.
>
> - **Core**:
> - Enforce required `userFriendlyMessage` in `CustomException` (remove
optional generic; constructor now requires `{ userFriendlyMessage:
MessageDescriptor }`).
> - **Exceptions**:
> - Update ~70+ exception classes to set default localized messages via
Lingui `msg` maps and pass them in constructors (e.g., `AuthException`,
`ObjectMetadataException`, `FieldMetadataException`, etc.).
> - Add fallback messages where needed (e.g., `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR` or
domain-specific defaults).
> - **HTTP/GraphQL Filters**:
> - Ensure fallbacks create `UnknownException` with `msg` for
user-friendly text in REST/GraphQL exception filters.
> - **Tests**:
> - Adjust unit tests to pass `userFriendlyMessage` to exceptions.
> - Update Jest snapshots to include `extensions.userFriendlyMessage` or
message objects where applicable.

<!-- /CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
First PR to implement application tokens
- add new application role in twenty-server
- move duplicated constants and types to twenty-shared
- will add role configuration utils into twenty-sdk in another PR
## 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
## Problem
The ESLint rule `graphql-resolvers-should-be-guarded` introduced in
#15392 was failing on main because the guard `SettingsPermissionsGuard`
had inconsistent naming.
## Root Cause
The guard was named `SettingsPermissionsGuard` (with an 's') which was
inconsistent with other permission guards:
- ✅ `CustomPermissionGuard`
- ✅ `NoPermissionGuard`
- ✅ `ImpersonatePermissionGuard`
- ❌ `SettingsPermissionsGuard` (inconsistent!)
The ESLint rule checks if guard names end with `PermissionGuard`, but
`SettingsPermissionsGuard` ends with `sGuard`, so it wasn't recognized
as a permission guard.
## Solution
Renamed the guard to be consistent with the naming convention:
1. ✅ Renamed file: `settings-permissions.guard.ts` →
`settings-permission.guard.ts`
2. ✅ Renamed export: `SettingsPermissionsGuard` →
`SettingsPermissionGuard`
3. ✅ Renamed internal class: `SettingsPermissionsMixin` →
`SettingsPermissionMixin`
4. ✅ Updated all 122 references across 44 files in the codebase
5. ✅ Renamed test file: `settings-permissions.guard.spec.ts` →
`settings-permission.guard.spec.ts`
## Testing
- ✅ `npx nx run twenty-server:lint` passes
- ✅ `npx nx run twenty-server:typecheck` passes
- ✅ No references to the old name remain in the codebase
- ✅ All previously failing resolver files now pass ESLint validation

Fixes issues introduced in #15392
## Overview
This PR strengthens our permission system by introducing more granular
role-based access control across the platform.
## Changes
### New Permissions Added
- **Applications** - Control who can install and manage applications
- **Layouts** - Control who can customize page layouts and UI structure
- **AI** - Control access to AI features and agents
- **Upload File** - Separate permission for file uploads
- **Download File** - Separate permission for file downloads (frontend
visibility)
### Security Enhancements
- Implemented whitelist-based validation for workspace field updates
- Added explicit permission guards to core entity resolvers
- Enhanced ESLint rule to enforce permission checks on all mutations
- Created `CustomPermissionGuard` and `NoPermissionGuard` for better
code documentation
### Affected Components
- Core entity resolvers: webhooks, files, domains, applications,
layouts, postgres credentials
- Workspace update mutations now use whitelist validation
- Settings UI updated with new permission controls
### Developer Experience
- ESLint now catches missing permission guards during development
- Explicit guard markers make permission requirements clear in code
review
- Comprehensive test coverage for new permission logic
## Testing
- ✅ All TypeScript type checks pass
- ✅ ESLint validation passes
- ✅ New permission guards properly enforced
- ✅ Frontend UI displays new permissions correctly
## Migration Notes
Existing workspaces will need to assign the new permissions to roles as
needed. By default, all new permissions are set to `false` for non-admin
roles.
Pg scan was redundant because historically the workspaceId was
`varchar`, even though below migration won't change that we had a look
to workspaceId col declaration across the codebase
## Problem
After migrating webhooks and API keys from workspace to core level, REST
API endpoints were still creating entities in workspace schema
(`workspace_*`) instead of core schema, causing webhooks to not fire.
## Solution
- Added dedicated REST controllers for webhooks (`/rest/webhooks`) and
API keys (`/rest/apiKeys`)
- Updated dynamic controller to block workspace-gated entities from
being processed
- Fixed OpenAPI documentation to exclude these endpoints from playground
- Ensured return formats match GraphQL resolvers exactly
## Testing
✅ All endpoints tested with provided auth token - webhooks and API keys
now correctly stored in `core` schema
