## 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
Summary
Rewrites the app:dev command to use Vite's dev server instead of manual
file watching with chokidar. This provides better file watching
capabilities and aligns with the existing build tooling.
