## Description
- Adds support for declaring command menu items directly within
`defineFrontComponent` via an optional command config property
- Introduces a new `CommandMenuItemManifest` type in twenty-shared and
wires it through the manifest build pipeline
## Example Of usage
```tsx
import { defineFrontComponent } from "twenty-sdk";
const TestAction = () => {
return <div>Test Action</div>;
};
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: "6c289461-0007-4a62-a99f-69e5c11a4ce7",
name: "test-action",
description: "Test Action",
component: TestAction,
command: {
universalIdentifier: "c07df864-495f-46f3-9f5b-9d3ce2589e9b",
label: "Run My Action",
icon: "IconBolt",
isPinned: false,
},
});
```

## Refactor page layout widget types into shared package and expose from
SDK
### Why
Widget configuration types were defined only on the server, forcing SDK
consumer apps to import from deep internal `twenty-shared/dist` paths —
fragile and breaks on structural changes. Server DTOs also had no
compile-time guarantee they matched the canonical types.
### What changed
- **`twenty-shared`**: Migrated `ChartFilter`, `GridPosition`,
`RatioAggregateConfig` and all 20 widget configuration variants into
`twenty-shared/types`. `PageLayoutWidgetConfiguration` (base, with
`SerializedRelation`) and `PageLayoutWidgetUniversalConfiguration`
(derived via `FormatRecordSerializedRelationProperties`) are now the
single source of truth.
- **`twenty-sdk`**: Re-exported `AggregateOperations`,
`ObjectRecordGroupByDateGranularity`, `PageLayoutTabLayoutMode`, and
`PageLayoutWidgetUniversalConfiguration` so consumer apps import from
`twenty-sdk` directly.
- **`twenty-server`**: All widget DTOs now `implements` their shared
type for compile-time enforcement. Added helpers to convert nested
`fieldMetadataId` ↔ `fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` inside chart
filters. Removed redundant local type re-exports.
Updating rich app so it also create:
- a many to many relation
- views
- navigation items
The app was built successfully.
Will still be missing front component examples

## Sync page layouts, tabs, and widgets
Adds the ability for SDK applications to synchronize `pageLayout`,
`pageLayoutTab`, and `pageLayoutWidget` entities, following the same
pattern established in #18003 for views and navigation menu items.
### Changes
**`twenty-shared`**
- New `PageLayoutManifest`, `PageLayoutTabManifest`, and
`PageLayoutWidgetManifest` types with a hierarchical structure (page
layout → tabs → widgets)
- Added `pageLayouts: PageLayoutManifest[]` to the `Manifest` type
**`twenty-sdk`**
- New `definePageLayout()` SDK function with validation for
universalIdentifier, name, and nested tabs/widgets
- Wired into the manifest extraction and build pipeline
(`DefinePageLayout` target function, `PageLayouts` entity key)
- Exported from the SDK entry point
**`twenty-server`**
- Added `pageLayout`, `pageLayoutTab`, `pageLayoutWidget` to
`APPLICATION_MANIFEST_METADATA_NAMES`
- New conversion utilities: manifest → universal flat entity for all
three entity types
- Updated `computeApplicationManifestAllUniversalFlatEntity
- add a new optional key `postInstallLogicFunctionUniversalIdentifier`
in applicationConfig
- seed postInstall function in create-twenty-app
- update execute:function options
- update doc
## Summary
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e75cc9d-d9d2-4ef2-99f9-34450f5d8de7
Add background incremental type checking (`tsc --watch`) to the SDK dev
mode, so type regressions are caught when the generated API client
changes — without requiring a full rebuild of source files.
Previously, removing a field from the data model would regenerate the
API client, but existing front components/logic functions referencing
the removed field wouldn't surface type errors (since their source
didn't change, esbuild wouldn't rebuild them).
## What changed
- **Background `tsc --watch`**: a long-lived TypeScript watcher runs
alongside esbuild watchers, incrementally re-checking all files when the
generated client changes. Only logs on state transitions (errors appear
/ errors clear) to stay quiet.
- **Atomic client generation**: API client is now generated into a temp
directory and swapped in atomically, avoiding a race condition where
`tsc --watch` could see an empty `generated/` directory
mid-regeneration.
- **Step decoupling**: orchestrator steps no longer receive
`uploadFilesStep` directly. Instead, they use callbacks (`onFileBuilt`,
`onApiClientGenerated`), and each step manages its own `builtFileInfos`
state.
- **`apiClientChecksum` omitted from `ApplicationConfig`**: it's a
build-time computed value, same as `packageJsonChecksum`.

## 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
In this PR we start returning a workspace migration post sync so it can
committed and provided within the tarball
## Universal aggregators utils
Created two utils
### deleteUniversalFlatEntityForeignKeyAggregators
Used when building a universal create action, a newly created actions
should not contain any aggregated foreign key so they won't be codegen
in the workspace migration but also they are overriden at uninversal to
flat transpilation anw
### resetUniversalFlatEntityForeignKeyAggregators
Used before validating a new flat entity creation, some validator will
consume the fk aggregator in order to validate integrity, but of
optimstically provided it can result to errors. To avoid caller
responsability we override them here
## create-field-action refactor
Refactored the universal and flat field create action to be following
the base actions in order to ease typing
Also it was tailored to handle unlimited amount of flat field metadata
in the same actions whereas in the reality we were always only sending
at max 2 ( for relation fields )
Note: relation field has to be provided at the same as if not optimistic
would fail to retrieve circular universal identifiers
## ObjectManifest
Now always expect a `labelIdentifierFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`
## Integration test
Created an integration test that creates an app, sync a first manifest
and a second implying update workspace migration action generation
## Split twenty-sdk build into separate Node and browser targets
The SDK was bundling Node.js code (CLI, SDK API) and browser code (UI
components, front-component renderer) through a single Vite config. This
caused incorrect externalization — Node builtins leaked into browser
bundles and browser-specific chunking logic applied to CLI output.
This PR splits the build into `vite.config.node.ts` and
`vite.config.browser.ts` so each target gets the right externals and
output format.
Also includes a few housekeeping renames:
- `front-component` export path → `front-component-renderer` (matches
what it actually is)
- `front-component-common` merged into `front-component-api` (was a
needless extra module)
## PR Description
This PR:
- Introduces a `FrontComponentHostCommunicationApi`, which allows us to
pass functions to be executed from the worker
- Exposes a navigate function from the host to the front component
remote workers, enabling SDK components to trigger in-app navigation
- Gets rid of `useSyncExternalStore` and makes the execution context
reactive without it
- Refactors and improves the `esbuild` plugin system

## Summary
This PR fixes the `tsconfig` setup in `twenty-front` so that `tsgo -p
tsconfig.json` properly type-checks all files.
### Root Cause
The previous setup used TypeScript project references with `files: []`
in the main `tsconfig.json`. When running `tsgo -p tsconfig.json`, this
checks nothing because `tsgo` requires the `-b` (build) flag for project
references, but the configs weren't set up for composite mode.
### Changes
**Simplified tsconfig architecture (4 files → 2):**
- `tsconfig.json` - All files (dev, tests, stories) for
typecheck/IDE/lint
- `tsconfig.build.json` - Production files only (excludes tests/stories)
**Removed redundant configs:**
- `tsconfig.dev.json`
- `tsconfig.spec.json`
- `tsconfig.storybook.json`
**Updated references:**
- `jest.config.mjs` → uses `tsconfig.json`
- `eslint.config.mjs` → uses `tsconfig.json`
- `vite.config.ts` → uses `tsconfig.json` for dev
**Type fixes (pre-existing errors revealed by proper typechecking):**
- Made `applicationId` optional in `FieldMetadataItem` and
`ObjectMetadataItem`
- Added missing `navigationMenuItem` translation
- Added `objectLabelSingular` to Search GraphQL query
- Fixed `sortMorphItems.test.ts` mock data
## Test plan
- [ ] Run `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` - should pass
- [ ] Run `npx nx lint twenty-front` - should work
- [ ] Run `npx nx test twenty-front` - should work
- [ ] Run `npx nx build twenty-front` - should work
- [ ] Verify IDE type checking works correctly
## Refactor app-dev state management and build utilities
- Store only `manifest` in `AppDevState` instead of full
`ManifestBuildResult`; add `sourcePath` to `FileStatus`
- Pass `sourcePaths` directly to watchers instead of
`ManifestBuildResult`
- Only reset `fileUploadStatus` for functions/components when their
source paths change
- Add pure `updateManifestChecksum` utility that returns a new manifest
without side effects
- Extract `processEsbuildResult` to deduplicate build result processing
between watchers
- Rename `serverlessFunctions` → `functions` in SDK code (API unchanged)
- Extract `writeManifestToOutput` to shared `manifest-writer.ts`
## Summary
Adds `app:build` command as a one-shot version of `app:dev` - builds
manifest, functions, and front components once then exits (no watching).
**Changes:**
- Added `watch` option to `FunctionsWatcher` and
`FrontComponentsWatcher` to support both watch and one-shot modes
- Created `AppBuildCommand` reusing the same build logic as `app:dev`
with `watch: false`
- Added integration tests for `app:build` on both `rich-app` and
`root-app`
- Updated manifest types: `handlerPath` → `sourceHandlerPath` +
`builtHandlerPath`, `componentPath` → `sourceComponentPath` +
`builtComponentPath`
- Updated test app `package.json` scripts to match `create-twenty-app`
template
Refactor manifest build and remove src folder assumptions
- Unified entity builder interface: All entity builders now return
EntityBuildResult<T> with both manifests and filePaths
- Always return build result: runManifestBuild now always returns {
manifest, filePaths } instead of null on failure
- Return all entity paths: EntityFilePaths includes paths for all entity
types (application, objects, functions, etc.)
- Remove src folder assumptions: Applications can now have entities at
root level - removed hasSrcFolder checks
- Simplify watchers: Removed entries caching, compute lazily with map()
- Stabilize tests: Replaced flaky console output snapshots with key
message assertions; replaced inline snapshots with array comparisons
-
# Improve cross-entity duplicate detection in manifest validation
- Refactored findDuplicates to receive the full manifest, enabling
cross-entity duplicate checks
-ObjectExtensionEntityBuilder now validates that extension field IDs
don't conflict with object field IDs
- Renamed DuplicateId type to EntityIdWithLocation for clarity
- Updated all entity builders to use the new signature
Heavy Refactoring of the watcher, sorry about this one, I'll keep
iterating on it.
In a nutshell:
- app-dev.ts is maintaining 3 watchers in parallel: manifest, function
and frontComponent
## Add `frontComponent` entity type to SDK
This PR adds a new `frontComponent` entity type at parity with
`serverlessFunction`. Front components are React components that can be
defined and bundled as part of Twenty applications.
### Changes
#### New Entity Type
- Added `FRONT_COMPONENT` to `SyncableEntity` enum
- Front components use `*.front-component.tsx` file naming convention
- CLI command `twenty app:add` now includes `front-component` as an
option
#### SDK Application Layer (`twenty-sdk`)
- Added `defineFrontComponent()` function for defining front component
configurations with validation
- Added `FrontComponentConfig` type for component configuration
- Added `getFrontComponentBaseFile()` template generator for scaffolding
new front components
- Added `loadFrontComponentModule()` to load front component modules and
extract component metadata
#### Shared Types (`twenty-shared`)
- Added `FrontComponentManifest` type with `universalIdentifier`,
`name`, `description`, `componentPath`, and `componentName` fields
- Updated `ApplicationManifest` to include optional `frontComponents`
array
#### Manifest Build System
- Updated `manifest-build.ts` to discover and load
`*.front-component.tsx` files
- Updated `manifest-validate.ts` to validate front components and check
for duplicate IDs
- Updated `manifest-display.ts` to display front component count in
build summary
- Updated `manifest-plugin.ts` to display front component entry points
and watch `.tsx` files
#### Template (`create-twenty-app`)
- New applications now include a sample
`hello-world.front-component.tsx` file
#### Tests
- Added unit tests for `defineFrontComponent()`
- Added unit tests for `getFrontComponentBaseFile()`
## Summary
This PR adds function build support to the `twenty dev` command,
enabling tree-shaken production builds of serverless functions during
development with Vite's incremental build capabilities.
## Changes
### New Features
- **Function building in dev mode**: Serverless functions are now
compiled to tree-shaken bundles in `.twenty/functions/` during
development
- **Automatic restart on entry point changes**: When functions are added
or removed, the watcher automatically restarts with the new
configuration
- **Function entry point logging**: Dev mode now displays detected
function entry points with their names and paths
