## What & why
The timeline-activity system's contract is a magic `name` string
(`"company.updated"`, `"linked-note.created"`, `"message.linked"`)
decoded by `String.split('.')` in **four** different frontend spots and
produced by a hardcoded `if`-ladder + two listeners. It is not
extensible and it already harbored a latent bug.
This PR replaces that stringly-typed protocol with an explicit,
persisted **`kind`** contract consumed through registries on both ends.
Adding a new timeline activity type becomes: add a producer + register a
presenter — no edits to a central switch.
This is **Layer A** of a larger plan (see
`packages/twenty-server/docs/TIMELINE_ACTIVITIES_REFACTOR.md` and
`TIMELINE_ACTIVITIES_PR_A.md`). Layer B (timeline projection /
"inheritance") and Layer C (user-defined aggregation rules) are
intentionally **out of scope** here.
## 🐛 Bug fixed along the way
`calendar-event-participant.listener.ts` was writing calendar-event
timeline rows with `name: 'message.linked'` (copy-paste from the message
listener). It rendered "correctly" only by luck — the frontend routed on
`linkedObjectMetadataId → nameSingular`, never on `name`. This PR fixes
it at the source (`calendarEvent.linked` / `kind:
'linkedCalendarEvent'`), and the shared resolver also corrects
historical rows that carry the wrong `name`.
## Changes
**`twenty-shared`** — new `timeline` module
- `TimelineActivityKind` (`recordChange | linkedNote | linkedTask |
linkedMessage | linkedCalendarEvent | linkedRecord`) +
`resolveTimelineActivityDescriptor`, the **single** place that decodes
an activity into `{ kind, action }`. Reads the persisted `kind` when
present and falls back to legacy `name`/`linkedObjectMetadataId` parsing
(back-compat shim). Unit-tested (20 cases).
**`twenty-server`**
- Persist a nullable `kind` field on the `timelineActivity` standard
object (entity shape + field-metadata builder + universalIdentifier).
- Producers (`timeline-activity.service.ts`, the two participant
listeners) set `kind` explicitly; dev seeder populates it.
- Fix the `calendarEvent.linked` mislabel.
**`twenty-front`**
- Static `TIMELINE_ACTIVITY_PRESENTERS` registry replaces the render
`switch`, the icon `if`-chain, the diff-validation name-parsing, and the
`name.match(/note|task/i)` title-prefetch hack.
- New `EventRowGenericLinked` so an unknown linked object type renders a
real "linked a {object}" row instead of falling through to the wrong
(main-object) renderer.
## Migration / compatibility
- The `kind` column on this **workspace** standard object is created by
the normal workspace metadata sync — no hand-written migration. It is
**nullable**, so pre-upgrade rows degrade gracefully through the
resolver shim (they resolve correctly from `linkedObjectMetadataId` +
`name`). An optional backfill workspace command could populate `kind` on
old rows later; not required for correctness.
- No GraphQL breaking change — `kind` is additive, `name` is retained
for display/search.
## Test plan
- `twenty-shared` unit tests (resolver) ✅
- `typecheck` + `lint:diff-with-main` green on `twenty-front`,
`twenty-server`, `twenty-shared` ✅
- Reset + reseed a workspace: `kind` is populated for all seeded rows
(recordChange / linkedMessage / linkedNote / linkedTask /
linkedCalendarEvent) with no nulls ✅
- Manual end-to-end verification via Playwright on person / company
record timelines — screenshots in a follow-up comment.
Screenshots attesting the rendering (incl. the calendar fix) are posted
as a comment below.

Reorganizes `twenty-ui`'s component organization to follow how the best
UI libraries (MUI, Mantine, Base UI, Polaris) structure their source,
now that the package has stabilized.
**Taxonomy** — dissolves the meaningless `components/` junk-drawer and
the 107-file `display/` mega-category. New domains/subpaths:
`data-display`, `typography`, `icon`, `surfaces`; `feedback` and
`layout` absorb the rest (banners/callout/info + placeholders →
feedback; modal/card → surfaces; motion + separators → layout).
**Per-component layout** — every component is now
`<domain>/<ComponentName>/<ComponentName>.tsx` with colocated
styles/stories/types, `internal/` for private helpers and `parts/` for
re-exported compound sub-parts. The redundant inner `/components/` is
gone. `icon` and `json-visualizer` are kept as cohesive subsystems.
**Also:** adds a tree-shakeable root barrel (`import { Button } from
'twenty-ui'`), the generator now owns `individual-entry.ts`, and a real
barrel-leak bug is fixed (private `internals/` parts were leaking into
the public API).
Consumer imports (~1.2k files) and the `twenty-sdk` UI aggregator were
updated by codemod. The change is **export-neutral** except 16
intentionally-removed private internals symbols (all verified
unconsumed). Gates green: typecheck, lint, build, size-limit, storybook.

Migrates `twenty-front`, `twenty-sdk`, and
`twenty-front-component-renderer` from `twenty-ui-deprecated` to
`twenty-ui` (mechanical import swap — the packages have API parity) and
deletes the deprecated package along with its workspace/CI/config
wiring.
Also adds `@linaria/react`/`@linaria/core` as direct deps of
`twenty-front` (it used them transitively via the deprecated package).
Note: move the required status check from `ci-ui-status-check` to
`ci-new-ui-status-check`.
Argos: the Storybook box-model/button-reset baseline shift (the bulk of
the visual diffs) is isolated in #21665 — Storybook now loads
twenty-ui's global `reset.scss`, which the production app already ships.
Once #21665 merges and this branch is rebased, the remaining Argos diffs
are component-level visual-parity items only.
## Description
Promotes the next-gen UI library (formerly `twenty-new-ui`) to the name
**`twenty-ui`** (v0.1.0, publishable) and renames the old package to
**`twenty-ui-deprecated`**. Rewrites ~1,730 `twenty-ui` imports →
`twenty-ui-deprecated`, updates all configs/CI/Docker/deps, and migrates
twenty-front's `Toggle` to the new package (first consumer) as a
drop-in.
## Next steps
- Wire the `ui/v*` publish dispatch (`cd-deploy-tag.yaml` +
`.yarnrc.yml`), then tag `ui/v0.1.0` to publish.
- Continue migrating components from `twenty-ui-deprecated` →
`twenty-ui`.
## Summary
Aligns **object metadata** icons with the **tinted tile** look
everywhere we show a workspace object, and **retires** the
navigation-only `NavigationMenuItemStyleIcon` wrapper in favor of
**shared** UI primitives under `@/ui/display` and `@/object-metadata`.
## What changed
### Global tinted icon building blocks (`@/ui/display`)
- **`TintedIconTile`** / **`StyledTintedIconTileContainer`** support
optional **`size`** and **`stroke`**, and grow the tile when **`size`**
is set so layouts match previous `theme.icon` usage.
- Shared helpers and constants for theme color parsing and tinted
backgrounds/borders/icon color (e.g.
**`getTintedIconTileStyleFromColor`**, **`parseThemeColor`**,
**`getColorFromTheme`**, related constants).
### Object metadata icon (`@/object-metadata`)
- **`ObjectMetadataIcon`** composes **`TintedIconTile`** with
**`getObjectColorWithFallback`**, forwards optional **`size`** /
**`stroke`** for **visual parity** with old `getIcon` + explicit sizing.
- **`getSelectOptionIconFromObjectMetadataItem`** returns an
**`IconComponent`** for selects/menus that expect a component, not a
React node.
### Navigation module cleanup
- **Removed** **`NavigationMenuItemStyleIcon`**; call sites use
**`ObjectMetadataIcon`**, **`TintedIconTile`**, and/or the shared
**`getTintedIconTileStyleFromColor`** pipeline so the same treatment is
**not** tied to the navigation package.
- **`NavigationMenuItemIcon`**, view/link overlays, DnD handle, and
sidebar editor flows updated to use the shared pattern where they render
object (or tinted) icons.
### Product surfaces updated (non-exhaustive)
- **Settings:** role object picker/rows, data model
tables/graph/overview, object preview summary, webhooks entity list,
morph relation multiselect.
- **Workflows:** create/update/delete/upsert/find records, triggers,
filters, variables dropdowns, AI agent object rows, object dropdowns.
- **Shell:** side panel object filter / data sources / folder chrome
where object icons appear.
- **Records:** index header icon, show breadcrumb styling.
- **Activity:** timeline event icon when linked object metadata applies.
- **`NavigationDrawerItem`:** tinted branch aligned with shared
**`TintedIconTile`** behavior.

## Summary
- Renames `ObjectMetadataItem` to `EnrichedObjectMetadataItem` across
the entire frontend (~440 files) to clarify that this type includes
derived fields (`readableFields`, `updatableFields`, nested `fields[]`,
`indexMetadatas[]`) computed at read time from the metadata store
- Creates `splitObjectMetadataGqlResponse` that goes directly from a
GraphQL `ObjectMetadataItemsQuery` response to flat store items
(combining the old
`mapPaginatedObjectMetadataItemsToObjectMetadataItems` +
`splitObjectMetadataItemWithRelated` two-step flow into one call)
- Removes `ObjectMetadataItemWithRelated` type and all "WithRelated"
naming
- Renames `generatedMockObjectMetadataItems` to
`generateTestEnrichedObjectMetadataItemsMock` to make it clear this is
test-only enriched data
- Deletes `useLoadMockedObjectMetadataItems` hook (consolidated into
`useLoadMockedMinimalMetadata`)
- Ensures nothing destined for the metadata store computes
`readableFields`/`updatableFields` (preventing the localStorage bloat
from #18809)
## Type hierarchy (before → after)
**Before:**
```
ObjectMetadataItemsQuery → mapPaginated → ObjectMetadataItemWithRelated → enrich → ObjectMetadataItem
→ split → FlatObjectMetadataItem (store)
```
**After:**
```
ObjectMetadataItemsQuery → splitObjectMetadataGqlResponse → FlatObjectMetadataItem (store)
→ mapPaginated + enrich (tests only) → EnrichedObjectMetadataItem
```
## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` passes
- [x] `npx nx test twenty-front` passes (767 suites, 4505 tests)
- [x] `npx nx lint twenty-front` passes
- [ ] CI checks pass

# Introduction
closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/591
Same than for `twenty-shared` made in
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/11083.
## TODO
- [x] Manual migrate twenty-website twenty-ui imports
## What's next:
- Generate barrel and migration script factorization within own package
+ tests
- Refactoring using preconstruct ? TimeBox
- Lint circular dependencies
- Lint import from barrel and forbid them
### Preconstruct
We need custom rollup plugins addition, but preconstruct does not expose
its rollup configuration. It might be possible to handle this using the
babel overrides. But was a big tunnel.
We could give it a try afterwards ! ( allowing cjs interop and stuff
like that )
Stuck to vite lib app
