# Introduction
Cleaner and fewer scope version of
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15745 ( removed sync-metadata
hack through, too ambitious migration and upgrade )
Please note that this PR won't have any interaction with the existing
sync-metadata
Which mean that the sync metadata does not update the standard entities
applicationId and universalIdentifier, and it won't we will deprecate it
on favor of a workspace migration aka twenty-standard app installation
## API Metadata
Any operation going through the api metadata nows automatically scope
the related entity to the workspace custom application instance. (
optionally passing an applicationId to allow current hacky implem of app
sync service )
We need to either ignore the tests or remove the cli status check from
the blocking status badges for a PR to be merged
## New workspace
Already handled in previous
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15625, when a workspace is
created it gets created a twenty standard and custom workspace instance
All his views and permissions will be prefilled to the its twenty
standard app instance with a specific universalIdentifier
## New universalIdentifier
At the contrary as before with standardIds, universalIdentifier are
unique for a given workspace
This means that createdAt field of both object company and opportunity
will have a unique universalIdentifier whereas they share the same
standardId
## FlatApplication
Introduced the flatApplication and cache. Will migrate existing
`MetadataName` to be `SyncableMetadataName` in a following PR
## What's next
Next we will describe a twenty standard app configuration as json that
will be used to generate a workspace migration that will be run instead
of the sync metadata, in a nutshell we aim to deprecated the sync
metadata
So we can standardize any entity to have a non nullable applicationId
and universalIdentifier
## Upgrade command
Introduced an upgrade command that will create a custom workspace
instance for any workspace that do not have one in order to align with
the new behavior when creating a new workspace
## 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.
## Context
- All flatEntity should extend SyncableEntity
- SyncableEntity should now have applicationId and application relation
- Fix syncApp deletion, should now properly use migration v2 to delete
syncable entities
# Introduction
Adding view-group to core engine v2
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15010 ( same pattern )
## What's done
- Created flat-view-group
- flat view group runner
- flat view group builder
- create view group service v2 and input transpilers
- refactor the existing view group resolver to fix standard (
BREAKING_CHANGE on graphql api update especially ) REST stays the same
- refactored the front to consume the mutations autogenerated

# Introduction
This PR introduces a huge type refactor that will leverage dynamic intra
entity optimistic flat maps update in the future and also a more
granular cache invalidation enhancing performances

## What's done
### Comparators centralization
Comparator is now done through global configuration as const for each
metadata names
Thanks to
Note:
Definition of standard is evolving, standard is now scoped to an app.
Meaning that a manifest should be able to update its own standards
objects but on other app standards ones ? Each synchronizable entities
will have a standardOverrides ?
## Typing refactor
### `AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName`
**Single source of truth for the complete type ecosystem**, mapping each
metadata name to its entity types, flat entities, and migration actions:
```typescript
export type AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName = {
fieldMetadata: {
actions: { created: CreateFieldAction; updated: UpdateFieldAction; deleted: DeleteFieldAction; };
flatEntity: FlatFieldMetadata;
entity: FieldMetadataEntity;
};
objectMetadata: { /* ... */ };
// ... all 10 metadata types
};
```
### `ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS`
**Explicitly declares database relationships** between entities with
compile-time validation:
```typescript
export const ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS = {
viewField: {
view: 'viewId',
fieldMetadata: 'fieldMetadataId',
},
cronTrigger: {
serverlessFunction: 'serverlessFunctionId',
},
// ... all relations
} as const satisfies MetadataNameAndRelations;
```
### `ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION`
**Centralizes comparison and serialization logic** for each metadata
type:
```typescript
export const ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION = {
fieldMetadata: {
propertiesToCompare: ['name', 'type', 'label', 'defaultValue', /* ... */],
propertiesToStringify: ['options', 'settings', 'defaultValue'],
},
objectMetadata: {
propertiesToCompare: ['nameSingular', 'namePlural', 'isActive', /* ... */],
propertiesToStringify: [],
},
// ... all metadata types
} as const satisfies AllFlatEntityConfiguration;
```
## Combined Impact
These three configurations work together to create a **strongly-typed,
centrally-managed metadata system**:
1. **`AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName`** defines *what exists*
2. **`ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS`** defines *how they
relate*
3. **`ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION`** defines *how to compare and
serialize them*
**Result:** Builders and validators become thin wrappers around
type-safe, configuration-driven logic instead of containing scattered,
error-prone manual implementations.
## What's next
### StandardOverrides standardization
Every metadata entity can be a standard one for a workspace if it's an
installed app, which means it might not expose the whole entity api to
be editable through an import dynamically
The standard overrides logic should not be applied to Fields and Objects
but to every entities
At the moment we have a logic of `EDITABLE_PROPERTIES` through the api,
and also `STANDARD_OVERRIDEDABLE_PROPERTIES`
This should be configuration centered like `propertiesToCompare` and
`propertiesToStringify`.
Scoping this PR to two last for the moment. As update dispatch to
standardOverrides could be considered as a side effect prefer waiting to
start the side effect refactor
### Granular Optimistic deprecation
With this new grain at runtime we will be able to add a flat entity and
dispatch its addition to related flat maps, so we don't have to describe
an optimistic method for each flat entity operations
See `addFlatEntityToFlatEntityAndRelatedEntityMapsOrThrow`
Note: Still in wip and included in this PR but about to create a new one
to integrate these utils and remove existing methods
### ValidateBuildAndRun dynamic args typed defintion
We should restrain the devxp to send expected flat maps entity as at
least from to or dependency as we now have the grain both a type lvl and
runtime to do so
It should not be possible in the devxp to forgot adding the views to the
v2 builder when passing the view field anymore ( that would lead to
permanent validation error in view field integrity checks )
## Conclusion
Thanks for reading and reviewing !
Any suggestions are more than welcomed ! ( same as for questions too ! )
# Introduction
Migrating `viewFilter` to v2 in order to migrate later the field update
side effect on view to v2 too
## What's done
- Created flat-view-filter
- flat view filter runner
- flat view filter builder
- create view filter service v2 and input transpilers
- refactor the existing view filter resolver to fix standard (
BREAKING_CHANGE on graphql api update especially ) REST stays the same
- refactored the front to consume the mutations autogenerated
## New generic tools
### Compare two flat entity
Introducing a new util to compare two flat entity, it's strictly typed
and will be added to the generic builder in a following PR
This will ease flat entity addition as won't required to create a
specific abstraction for comparison
Generic builder will expect specific constant: properties to compare and
properties to stringify
### Transform flat entity for comparison
Forked and refactor the initial existing method for flat entity business
scope and type safety
## Coverage
Migrated existing integration tests to fit new contract API
This PR does not add strong coverage on validation exceptions
Deadlines are too short

# 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
