## Reduce type leakage between GraphQL schemas
### Why
Twenty runs two separate GraphQL schemas: **core** and **metadata**.
NestJS's `@nestjs/graphql` uses a global `TypeMetadataStorage` that
accumulates all decorated types across all modules. When each schema is
built, every registered type leaks into both schemas regardless of which
module it belongs to.
This means the core schema's generated TypeScript
(`generated/graphql.ts`) contained ~2,700 lines of types that only
belong to the metadata schema (and vice versa). This creates confusion
about type ownership, inflates generated code, and makes it harder to
reason about which API surface each schema actually exposes.
### How
**1. Patch `@nestjs/graphql` to support schema-scoped type resolution**
- **(Already done)** Added a `resolverSchemaScope` option to
`GqlModuleOptions`, allowing each schema to declare a scope (e.g.
`'metadata'`)
- `ResolversExplorerService` now filters resolvers by a
`RESOLVER_SCHEMA_SCOPE` metadata key, so each schema only sees its own
resolvers
- `GraphQLSchemaFactory` now performs a **reachability walk**
(`computeReachableTypes`) starting from scoped resolver return types and
arguments, only including types that are transitively referenced —
handling unions, interfaces, and prototype chains
- Type definition storage and orphaned reference registry are cleared
between schema builds to prevent cross-contamination
**2. Register `ClientConfig` as orphaned type in metadata schema**
Since `ClientConfig` is needed in the metadata schema but not directly
returned by a resolver, it's explicitly declared via
`buildSchemaOptions.orphanedTypes`.
**3. Regenerate frontend types and fix imports**
- `generated/graphql.ts` shrank by ~2,700 lines (types moved to where
they belong)
- `generated-metadata/graphql.ts` gained types like `ClientConfig` that
were previously missing
- ~500 frontend files updated to import from the correct generated file
This PR determines the minimal setup required to render dashboards
without errors while extracting them from the record show page. The
ultimate goal is to create a `PageLayoutRenderer` component that takes
any page layout configuration and correctly renders dashboards or record
pages.
Currently, the `DashboardCard` component renders itself the
`PageLayoutRenderer` component. The next step is to reverse the flow of
control and make `PageLayoutRenderer` take a configuration and decide
whether it should render a dashboard or something else.
This PR takes into consideration two comments left by Charles on [the
first PR scaffolding the
refactor](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15021): renaming
`targetRecord` to `targetRecordIdentifier` and adding tests to
`evaluateTabVisibility()`.

## Refactor: Prepare frontend record layouts for backend-driven
configuration
This PR simplifies and prepares the frontend record layout system for
eventual migration to backend-driven layouts, aligning the architecture
with the existing PageLayout system used for dashboards.
### Key Changes
**Architecture Improvements:**
- Created unified LayoutRenderingContext that works for both record
pages (with targetRecord) and dashboards (standalone)
- Replaced prop drilling with context-based data flow - cards access
targetRecord and isInRightDrawer via context hooks
- Introduced useTargetRecord() helper hook that provides type-safe
access to the current record
- Created generic CardRenderer component that handles configuration
injection and context guards uniformly
**Configuration System:**
- Converted all tab icons from React components to JSON-serializable
strings (e.g., Icon: IconCheckbox → icon: 'IconCheckbox')
- Added configuration field to cards, matching the widget configuration
pattern on the backend
- Created CardConfiguration types system similar to WidgetConfiguration
on the backend
- Moved widget-specific props (like showDuplicatesSection) into
configuration objects
**Code Organization:**
- Extracted visibility evaluation logic into reusable
evaluateTabVisibility() utility
- Organized layouts into dedicated files (one per object:
base-record-layout.ts, company-record-layout.ts, etc.)
- Renamed components to match their purpose: Notes → NotesCard,
Attachments → FilesCard, etc.
- Consolidated card rendering from registry object to direct
getCardComponent() function
**API Alignment:**
- Made ifNoReadPermissionObject an explicit part of TabVisibilityConfig
(follows if* naming convention)
- Removed redundant targetObjectNameSingular from tab-level (now derived
from visibility config)
- Card API now mirrors Widget API (both use type, configuration,
accessed via context)
