Two challenges with error messages
- always provide a useful/meaningful error message for the end user
instead of the generic one. eg: show "Wrong password" and not "An error
occured"
- avoid technical details unless error regards a technical feature. eg:
show "An error occured" and not "Invalid post-hook payload."; but do
show "Invalid issuer URL." as it occurs while configuring SSO
What this PR does
- Make userFriendlyMessage mandatory for widely used
GraphqlQueryRunnerException and CommonQueryRunnerException, so that
developers are forced to ask themselves what the error message should
be, and as it contains very wide error codes (eg: "Bad request") which
should not be mapped to just one default message
- Keep userFriendlyMessage optional for service-specific exceptions (eg:
workflowStepExecutorException), but convert the error code to
userFriendlyMessage mapper to a switch case function with a typecheck
ensuring that all codes are mapped to a message. These default messages
are still overridable where they are thrown.
## 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
<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---
> [!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 -->
## 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.
# Introduction
Preparing view-filter and view-group introduction in v2 core engine
Moving view from `core-modules` to `metadata-modules`
## What happened
### Created dedicated modules for each view entity:
- ViewFieldModule
- ViewFilterModule
- ViewFilterGroupModule
- ViewGroupModule
- ViewSortModule
### Each module is now completely independent with its own:
- Controller
- Resolver
- Service
- Entity
### Created dedicated abstraction metadata module folder for:
- flat-view-field
- flat-view
### Dependencies
- Eleminated circular dep on ViewModule to all others ones
- Granular import not importing the whole viewModule anymore everywhere
