# Introduction
Improved the ci assertions to be sure the default logic function worked
fully
## what's next
About to introduce a s3 + lambda e2e test to cover the lambda driver too
in addition of the local driver
## Summary
### Externalize `twenty-client-sdk` from `twenty-sdk`
Previously, `twenty-client-sdk` was listed as a `devDependency` of
`twenty-sdk`, which caused Vite to bundle it inline into the dist
output. This meant end-user apps had two copies of `twenty-client-sdk`:
one hidden inside `twenty-sdk`'s bundle, and one installed explicitly in
their `node_modules`. These copies could drift apart since they weren't
guaranteed to be the same version.
**Change:** Moved `twenty-client-sdk` from `devDependencies` to
`dependencies` in `twenty-sdk/package.json`. Vite's `external` function
now recognizes it and keeps it as an external `require`/`import` in the
dist output. End users get a single deduplicated copy resolved by their
package manager.
### Externalize `twenty-sdk` from `create-twenty-app`
Similarly, `create-twenty-app` had `twenty-sdk` as a `devDependency`
(bundled inline). After refactoring `create-twenty-app` to
programmatically import operations from `twenty-sdk` (instead of
shelling out via `execSync`), it became a proper runtime dependency.
**Change:** Moved `twenty-sdk` from `devDependencies` to `dependencies`
in `create-twenty-app/package.json`.
### Switch E2E CI to `yarn npm publish`
The `workspace:*` protocol in `dependencies` is a Yarn-specific feature.
`npm publish` publishes it as-is (which breaks for consumers), while
`yarn npm publish` automatically replaces `workspace:*` with the
resolved version at publish time (e.g., `workspace:*` becomes `=1.2.3`).
**Change:** Replaced `npm publish` with `yarn npm publish` in
`.github/workflows/ci-create-app-e2e.yaml`.
### Replace `execSync` with programmatic SDK calls in
`create-twenty-app`
`create-twenty-app` was shelling out to `yarn twenty remote add` and
`yarn twenty server start` via `execSync`, which assumed the `twenty`
binary was already installed in the scaffolded app. This was fragile and
created an implicit circular dependency.
**Changes:**
- Replaced `execSync('yarn twenty remote add ...')` with a direct call
to `authLoginOAuth()` from `twenty-sdk/cli`
- Replaced `execSync('yarn twenty server start')` with a direct call to
`serverStart()` from `twenty-sdk/cli`
- Deleted the duplicated `setup-local-instance.ts` from
`create-twenty-app`
### Centralize `serverStart` as a dedicated operation
The Docker server start logic was previously inline in the `server
start` CLI command handler (`server.ts`), and `setup-local-instance.ts`
was shelling out to `yarn twenty server start` to invoke it -- meaning
`twenty-sdk` was calling itself via a child process.
**Changes:**
- Extracted the Docker container management logic into a new
`serverStart` operation (`cli/operations/server-start.ts`)
- Merged the detect-or-start flow from `setup-local-instance.ts` into
`serverStart` (detect across multiple ports, start Docker if needed,
poll for health)
- Deleted `setup-local-instance.ts` from `twenty-sdk`
- Added `onProgress` callback (consistent with other operations like
`appBuild`) instead of direct `console.log` calls
- Both the `server start` CLI command and `create-twenty-app` now call
`serverStart()` programmatically

## 1. The `twenty-client-sdk` Package (Source of Truth)
The monorepo package at `packages/twenty-client-sdk` ships with:
- A **pre-built metadata client** (static, generated from a fixed
schema)
- A **stub core client** that throws at runtime (`CoreApiClient was not
generated...`)
- Both ESM (`.mjs`) and CJS (`.cjs`) bundles in `dist/`
- A `package.json` with proper `exports` map for
`twenty-client-sdk/core`, `twenty-client-sdk/metadata`, and
`twenty-client-sdk/generate`
## 2. Generation & Upload (Server-Side, at Migration Time)
**When**: `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerService.run()` executes after a
metadata schema change.
**What happens in `SdkClientGenerationService.generateAndStore()`**:
1. Copies the stub `twenty-client-sdk` package from the server's assets
(resolved via `SDK_CLIENT_PACKAGE_DIRNAME` — from
`dist/assets/twenty-client-sdk/` in production, or from `node_modules`
in dev)
2. Filters out `node_modules/` and `src/` during copy — only
`package.json` + `dist/` are kept (like an npm publish)
3. Calls `replaceCoreClient()` which uses `@genql/cli` to introspect the
**application-scoped** GraphQL schema and generates a real
`CoreApiClient`, then compiles it to ESM+CJS and overwrites
`dist/core.mjs` and `dist/core.cjs`
4. Archives the **entire package** (with `package.json` + `dist/`) into
`twenty-client-sdk.zip`
5. Uploads the single archive to S3 under
`FileFolder.GeneratedSdkClient`
6. Sets `isSdkLayerStale = true` on the `ApplicationEntity` in the
database
## 3. Invalidation Signal
The `isSdkLayerStale` boolean column on `ApplicationEntity` is the
invalidation mechanism:
- **Set to `true`** by `generateAndStore()` after uploading a new client
archive
- **Checked** by both logic function drivers before execution — if
`true`, they rebuild their local layer
- **Set back to `false`** by `markSdkLayerFresh()` after the driver has
successfully consumed the new archive
Default is `false` so existing applications without a generated client
aren't affected.
## 4a. Logic Functions — Local Driver
**`ensureSdkLayer()`** is called before every execution:
1. Checks if the local SDK layer directory exists AND `isSdkLayerStale`
is `false` → early return
2. Otherwise, cleans the local layer directory
3. Calls `downloadAndExtractToPackage()` which streams the zip from S3
directly to disk and extracts the full package into
`<tmpdir>/sdk/<workspaceId>-<appId>/node_modules/twenty-client-sdk/`
4. Calls `markSdkLayerFresh()` to set `isSdkLayerStale = false`
**At execution time**, `assembleNodeModules()` symlinks everything from
the deps layer's `node_modules/` **except** `twenty-client-sdk`, which
is symlinked from the SDK layer instead. This ensures the logic
function's `import ... from 'twenty-client-sdk/core'` resolves to the
generated client.
## 4b. Logic Functions — Lambda Driver
**`ensureSdkLayer()`** is called during `build()`:
1. Checks if `isSdkLayerStale` is `false` and an existing Lambda layer
ARN exists → early return
2. Otherwise, deletes all existing layer versions for this SDK layer
name
3. Calls `downloadArchiveBuffer()` to get the raw zip from S3 (no disk
extraction)
4. Calls `reprefixZipEntries()` which streams the zip entries into a
**new zip** with the path prefix
`nodejs/node_modules/twenty-client-sdk/` — this is the Lambda layer
convention path. All done in memory, no disk round-trip
5. Publishes the re-prefixed zip as a new Lambda layer via
`publishLayer()`
6. Calls `markSdkLayerFresh()`
**At function creation**, the Lambda is created with **two layers**:
`[depsLayerArn, sdkLayerArn]`. The SDK layer is listed last so it
overwrites the stub `twenty-client-sdk` from the deps layer (later
layers take precedence in Lambda's `/opt` merge).
## 5. Front Components
Front components are built by `app:build` with `twenty-client-sdk/core`
and `twenty-client-sdk/metadata` as **esbuild externals**. The stored
`.mjs` in S3 has unresolved bare import specifiers like `import {
CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core'`.
SDK import resolution is split between the **frontend host** (fetching &
caching SDK modules) and the **Web Worker** (rewriting imports):
**Server endpoints**:
- `GET /rest/front-components/:id` —
`FrontComponentService.getBuiltComponentStream()` returns the **raw
`.mjs`** directly from file storage. No bundling, no SDK injection.
- `GET /rest/sdk-client/:applicationId/:moduleName` —
`SdkClientController` reads a single file (e.g. `dist/core.mjs`) from
the generated SDK archive via
`SdkClientGenerationService.readFileFromArchive()` and serves it as
JavaScript.
**Frontend host** (`FrontComponentRenderer` in `twenty-front`):
1. Queries `FindOneFrontComponent` which returns `applicationId`,
`builtComponentChecksum`, `usesSdkClient`, and `applicationTokenPair`
2. If `usesSdkClient` is `true`, renders
`FrontComponentRendererWithSdkClient` which calls the
`useApplicationSdkClient` hook
3. `useApplicationSdkClient({ applicationId, accessToken })` checks the
Jotai atom family cache for existing blob URLs. On cache miss, fetches
both SDK modules from `GET /rest/sdk-client/:applicationId/core` and
`/metadata`, creates **blob URLs** for each, and stores them in the atom
family
4. Once the blob URLs are cached, passes them as `sdkClientUrls`
(already blob URLs, not server URLs) to `SharedFrontComponentRenderer` →
`FrontComponentWorkerEffect` → worker's `render()` call via
`HostToWorkerRenderContext`
**Worker** (`remote-worker.ts` in `twenty-sdk`):
1. Fetches the raw component `.mjs` source as text
2. If `sdkClientUrls` are provided and the source contains SDK import
specifiers (`twenty-client-sdk/core`, `twenty-client-sdk/metadata`),
**rewrites** the bare specifiers to the blob URLs received from the host
(e.g. `'twenty-client-sdk/core'` → `'blob:...'`)
3. Creates a blob URL for the rewritten source and `import()`s it
4. Revokes only the component blob URL after the module is loaded — the
SDK blob URLs are owned and managed by the host's Jotai cache
This approach eliminates server-side esbuild bundling on every request,
caches SDK modules per application in the frontend, and keeps the
worker's job to a simple string rewrite.

## Summary
- Adds a `color` column to `ObjectMetadataEntity` with full GraphQL
support so object icon colors are persisted at the metadata level
- Adds a `type` column to `NavigationMenuItemEntity` (enum: `OBJECT`,
`VIEW`, `FOLDER`, `LINK`, `RECORD`) replacing field-based type inference
- Updates frontend to read object colors from `objectMetadata.color`
(falling back to standard defaults) in the sidebar nav, record index
header, and record show breadcrumb
- Simplifies `NavigationMenuItemIcon` color resolution via
`getEffectiveNavigationMenuItemColor` util
## Color rules
| Item type | Color source | Editable in sidebar? |
|-----------|-------------|---------------------|
| **Object** | `objectMetadata.color` | Yes — persisted to
`objectMetadata.color` on Save |
| **Folder** | `navigationMenuItem.color` | Yes |
| **Link** | Fixed default (`DEFAULT_NAVIGATION_MENU_ITEM_COLOR_LINK`) |
No |
| **View** | `objectMetadata.color` (from the parent object) | No |
| **Record** | None | No |
- **Object** items represent the whole object (e.g. "Companies") and
point to the INDEX view. Changing their color updates
`objectMetadata.color` via `useSaveObjectMetadataColorsFromDraft`.
- **View** items represent specific non-INDEX views. Their color comes
from the parent object's metadata (read-only).
- Only **folders** store their color on `navigationMenuItem.color` —
enforced by `hasNavigationMenuItemOwnColor` util.
- `getEffectiveNavigationMenuItemColor` returns `objectColor` for both
OBJECT and VIEW items, folder's own color for folders, and the fixed
default for links.
## NavigationMenuItemType enum
- Shared enum created in `twenty-shared` with values: `OBJECT`, `VIEW`,
`FOLDER`, `LINK`, `RECORD`
- Registered as a GraphQL enum on the backend
- Replaces string literals across entity, DTOs, input, converters, and
frontend hooks
- Migration backfills existing rows: INDEX views → `OBJECT`, non-INDEX
views → `VIEW`, based on join with the view table
## Design decisions
- **OBJECT vs VIEW distinction**: Items pointing to INDEX views are
typed as `OBJECT` (represent the whole object, color editable). Items
pointing to non-INDEX views are typed as `VIEW` (specific view, color
read-only from parent object).
- **Dual color storage**: `navigationMenuItem.color` is preserved for
folders only. Objects use `objectMetadata.color` as their source of
truth.
- **Type discriminator**: The `type` column replaces field-based
inference (checking `viewId`, `link`, `targetRecordId` presence) with an
explicit enum, simplifying `isNavigationMenuItemLink` /
`isNavigationMenuItemFolder` to simple `item.type ===` checks.
- **No settings page color picker**: Object color editing is done from
the sidebar edit panel, not the data model settings page.
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify objects display their default standard colors in the
sidebar
- [ ] Verify object color editing works in the sidebar edit panel
(persists to objectMetadata.color)
- [ ] Verify folder color editing works in the sidebar edit panel
- [ ] Verify views, links, and records do NOT show a color picker in the
sidebar edit panel
- [ ] Run `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` and `npx nx typecheck
twenty-server`
- [ ] Verify the database migrations add `color` to `objectMetadata` and
`type` to `navigationMenuItem`

# Intoduction
Closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2289
In this PR all the clients becomes available under `twenty-sdk/clients`,
this is a breaking change but generated was too vague and thats still
the now or never best timing to do so
## CoreClient
The core client is now shipped with a default stub empty class for both
the schema and the client
Allowing its import, will still raises typescript errors when consumed
as generated but not generated
## MetadataClient
The metadata client is workspace agnostic, it's now generated and
commited in the repo. added a ci that prevents any schema desync due to
twenty-server additions
Same behavior than for the twenty-front generated graphql schema
## Summary
- The `createOneApplication` GraphQL mutation was removed from the
server during the application architecture refactor (#18432), but the
SDK CLI (`app:dev`, `app:build --sync`) still called it, causing
failures.
- Simplified the SDK to use `syncApplication` (which now internally
creates the `ApplicationEntity` via `ensureApplicationExists`) instead
of a separate create step.
- On first run (clean install), the orchestrator now runs an initial
sync before initializing the file uploader, so file uploads can proceed
(they require the `ApplicationEntity` to exist).
## Test plan
- [x] Typecheck passes for both `twenty-sdk` and `twenty-server`
- [x] `app:dev` tested locally with existing app (finds app, uploads,
syncs)
- [x] `app:dev` tested locally after `app:uninstall` (creates app via
sync, uploads, syncs)
- [x] SDK unit tests pass (23/26 files, 3 pre-existing failures
unrelated)

# Introduction
Adding integration test scaffold to the create twenty app and an example
to the hello world app
This PR also fixes all the sdk e2e tests in local
## `HELLO_WORLD`
Removed the legacy implem in the `twenty-apps` folder, replacing it by
an exhaustive app generation
## Next step
Will in another PR add workflows for CI testing
## Open question
- Should we still add vitest config and dep even if the user did not ask
for the integration test example ? -> currently we don't
- That's the perfect timing to identify if we're ok to handle seed
workspace authentication with the known api key
# Introduction
Allow a consumer call the commands programmatically instead of passing
by the exec
To do so extract from the command definition all the core logic, created
a new error api that allow keeping same error logs granularity than
before
## Usage
```ts
import { authLogin, appUninstall, functionExecute } from 'twenty-sdk/cli';
const result = await authLogin({
apiKey: 'my-key',
apiUrl: 'https://my-twenty.com',
});
if (!result.success) {
throw new Error(result.error);
}
```
## `app:build`
Introduced a new command that will allow building the whole project
without any watch setup
- Build and validate manifest
- Get or create app
- Synchronize manifest with twenty-sdk stub and no typecheck
- generate client
- Run typecheck
- Synchronize manifest again
## Add API client generation to SDK dev mode and refactor orchestrator
into step-based pipeline
### Why
The SDK dev mode lacked typed API client generation, forcing developers
to work without auto-generated GraphQL types when building applications.
Additionally, the orchestrator was a monolithic class that mixed watcher
management, token handling, and sync logic — making it difficult to
extend with new steps like client generation.
### How
- **Refactored the orchestrator** into a step-based pipeline with
dedicated classes: `CheckServer`, `EnsureValidTokens`,
`ResolveApplication`, `BuildManifest`, `UploadFiles`,
`GenerateApiClient`, `SyncApplication`, and `StartWatchers`. Each step
has typed input/output/status, managed by a new `OrchestratorState`
class.
- **Added `GenerateApiClientOrchestratorStep`** that detects
object/field schema changes and regenerates a typed GraphQL client (via
`@genql/cli`) into `node_modules/twenty-sdk/generated` for seamless
imports.
- **Replaced `checkApplicationExist`** with `findOneApplication` on both
server resolver and SDK API service, returning the entity data instead
of a boolean.
- **Added application token pair mutations**
(`generateApplicationToken`, `renewApplicationToken`) to the API
service, with the server now returning `ApplicationTokenPairDTO`
containing both access and refresh tokens.
- **Restructured the dev UI** into `dev/ui/components/` with dedicated
panel, section, and event log components.
- **Simplified `AppDevCommand`** from ~180 lines of watcher management
down to ~40 lines that delegate entirely to the orchestrator.
# Introduction
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17632 and
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17572
This PR deprecates the agent, skill, field metadata and role
`standardId` in favor of the `universalIdentifier` usage
## Note
- Removed previous standard ids declaration modules
- Twenty-sdk now re-exports the `STANDARD_OBJECTS` universalIdentifier
hashmap constant
- deleted some sync-metadata deadcode too ( mainly types )
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1956
**Problem**
Within an app, the `.yarn/releases/` folder contains executable Yarn
binaries that run when executing any yarn command (`.yarnrc` file
indicates yarn path to be `.yarn/releases/yarn-4.9.2.cjs `.)
This is a supply chain attack vector: a malicious actor could submit a
PR with a compromised `yarn-4.9.2.cjs binary`, which would execute
arbitrary code on developers' machines or CI systems.
**Fix**
Actually, thanks to Corepack, we don't need to store and execute this
binary.
Corepack can be seen as the manager of a package manager: in
`package.json` we indicate a packageManager version like
`"packageManager": "yarn@4.9.2"`, and when executing `yarn` Corepack
will securely fetch the verified version from npm, avoiding the risk of
executing a compromised binary committed to the repository. This was
already in our app's package.json template but we were not using it!
We can now
- remove the folder containing the binary from our app template
base-application (that is scaffolded when creating an app through cli),
`.yarn/releases/`, and remove `yarnPath: .yarn/releases/yarn-4.9.2.cjs`
from its .yarnrc
- remove them from the community apps that were already published in the
repo
- add .yarn to gitignore
**Tested**
This has been tested and works for app created in the repo, outside the
repo, and existing apps in the repo
- moves applicationRoleId to application entity
- add new `APPLICATION` FieldActorSource and `APPLICATION`
JwtTokenTypeEnum value
- create a new token with applicationId when executing a function
- when applicationId is in token, check for application.defaultRole
permissions
-use twenty-shared types in `twenty-sdk/application`
- create a new import from generate called "Twenty" that you can use
directly without having to set TWENTY_API_KEY AND TWENTY_API_URL (keep
metadata or core parameter only)
- provide to serverless unique one time BEARER TOKEN to run it

# Introduction
Important note: for the moment testing this locally will require some
hack due to latest twenty-sdk not being published.
You will need to build twenty-cli and `cd packages/twenty-cli && yarn
link`
To finally sync the app in your app folder as `cd app-folder && twenty
app sync`
close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1863
In this PR is introduced the generate sdk programmatic call to
[genql](https://genql.dev/) exposed in a `client` barrel of `twenty-sdk`
located in this package as there's high chances that will add a codegen
layer above it at some point ?
The cli calls this method after a sync application and writes a client
in a generated folder. It will make a graql introspection query on the
whole workspace. We should later improve that and only filter by current
applicationId and its dependencies ( when twenty-standard application is
introduced )
Fully typesafe ( input, output, filters etc ) auto-completed client
