## Summary
Two intertwined streams of work:
### UI — discovery hero pattern, settings shell, AI/API redesign
- **Generalize `SettingsDiscoveryHeroCard`** and use it on Layout, Data
Model, Apps, AI, API/Webhooks, Members. Drops 4 per-page wrapper files
(`SettingsObjectCoverImage`, `SettingsLayoutCoverImage`,
`SettingsLayoutCustomizeVideoModal`,
`SettingsDataModelVisualizeVideoModal`). Each page now supplies cover
src, modal id, and tab list.
- **Modal**: swap `<video>` placeholder for the Vimeo iframe pattern
from `twenty-docs`, per-tab `vimeoId`. Drop the parallel border-bottom
on the header (TabList draws its own baseline) and the grey background
behind the video. Note: Vimeo's embed allowlist applies — the iframes
load with the correct URL on `localhost` but the player itself requires
the video owner to allow the dev/staging domains in Vimeo settings.
- **AI page** rebuilt into a Cockpit pattern (Overview / Models / Skills
/ Tools / Usage). New `SettingsAiOverviewTab` with default Smart/Fast
pickers, at-a-glance stats, and an MCP signpost that deep-links to
`/settings/api-webhooks#mcp`. System Prompt link moved under Models.
Advanced tab removed.
- **API & Webhooks** now has 4 tabs (Playground / MCP / API Keys /
Webhooks). Hero card above tabs. Playground tab inverted to "Core API" /
"Metadata API" sections, each containing REST + GraphQL cards — schema
is the meaningful axis, protocol is secondary. Hash deep-link sync
delegated to the shared `TabListFromUrlOptionalEffect`.
- **Settings shell**: unified drawer outer padding (kill `isSettings`
branch), extract `CollapsibleNavigationDrawerSection`, add `iconColor`
on settings nav items, fix Exit Settings button alignment, 880px content
cap.
### Backend — strategy C: ephemeral playground token
The legacy paste-your-API-key flow is replaced by an on-demand
short-lived token scoped to the calling user's permissions. No shared
"Playground" API key to manage or revoke.
- New `JwtTokenTypeEnum.PLAYGROUND`. `PlaygroundTokenJwtPayload =
Omit<AccessTokenJwtPayload, 'type' | impersonation fields>` so any
future ACCESS claim flows through automatically.
- `AccessTokenService.generatePlaygroundToken` signs an access-shaped
JWT with `type: PLAYGROUND` and a configurable short TTL. A shared
private `resolveTokenSubject` helper parallelizes the user / workspace /
userWorkspace lookups for both generators.
- `JwtAuthStrategy.validateAccessToken` widened to accept
`AccessTokenJwtPayload | PlaygroundTokenJwtPayload`; impersonation gated
on `payload.type === ACCESS` so the union narrows without `as unknown
as` casts. The two branches in `validate()` collapse into one.
- New `PLAYGROUND_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN` config var (default `2h`).
- New `generatePlaygroundToken` mutation (`WorkspaceAuthGuard`, no args,
returns `AuthToken`).
- Frontend `useOpenPlayground` hook centralizes mint → atom write →
navigate, with Apollo `onError` snackbar and a "use cached PLAYGROUND
token if still fresh" short-circuit (decodes via `jwt-decode`, checks
both `type` AND `exp`). Old API_KEY tokens left in localStorage from the
prior paste-form flow are rejected on `type` alone and force a re-mint —
this is what was causing the "This API Key is revoked" symptom on stale
browsers.
### Drive-by cleanups
- `PlaygroundToken` DTO removed (identical shape to `AuthToken` already
in use).
- 5 `customize-sidebar.webm` imports and the dead placeholder pipeline
removed.
## Test plan
### Discovery hero
- [ ] `/settings/layout`, `/settings/data-model`,
`/settings/applications`, `/settings/ai`, `/settings/api-webhooks`,
`/settings/members` each render the discovery hero card with its
illustration + play button + tabbed modal
- [ ] Modal tabs show the correct Vimeo embed URL per tab; aspect ratio
stays at 1440/900; no parallel border-bottom jog at the tab baseline
- [ ] AI Overview tab shows Smart/Fast model pickers + stats grid + MCP
signpost card; the MCP card lands on `/settings/api-webhooks#mcp` with
the MCP tab active
### API playground (ephemeral token)
- [ ] With an empty `playgroundApiKeyState` in localStorage, clicking
REST or GraphQL playground card opens the playground and the cached
token has `type: "PLAYGROUND"` with ~2h exp
- [ ] Clicking the card again within the freshness window does **not**
re-mint (`iat` / fingerprint stable across visits)
- [ ] Planting a fake API_KEY-shaped JWT in localStorage and clicking
the card forces a fresh mint (old token rejected on `type`)
- [ ] `GET /rest/companies?limit=1` with the cached token returns 200 +
real data
- [ ] `POST /graphql { __typename }` returns 200
### Settings shell
- [ ] Settings nav matches main app drawer padding; sections collapse;
Exit Settings button aligns with the workspace links above
- [ ] Active nav items have a right-gap (cleaner active state)
- [ ] Content area capped at 880px
### Verify
- [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` passes
- [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` passes
- [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-front` passes
- [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` passes
## Summary
closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2464
Introduces compile-time branded types to distinguish encrypted
ciphertext from plaintext strings, preventing mix-ups like the one fixed
in #20819 — but at the type level rather in addition to the one existing
at runtime.
### Branded string primitives
- Created `EncryptedString` and `PlaintextString` as hard nominal brands
using `z.string().brand(...)`, making them non-assignable to each other
or to raw `string`
- Created `isEncryptedString` type predicate to narrow `string` to
`EncryptedString` based on the `enc:v2:` envelope prefix
- Retyped `SecretEncryptionService`: `encryptVersioned` accepts
`PlaintextString`, `decryptVersioned` returns `PlaintextString`
### Entity typing
- Typed encrypted columns across entities:
`SigningKeyEntity.privateKey`,
`TwoFactorAuthenticationMethodEntity.secret`,
`ApplicationRegistrationVariableEntity.encryptedValue`,
`ApplicationVariableEntity.value`
- Parameterized JSONB types for connected account connection parameters
(`ImapSmtpCaldavParams<Pwd>`) with reusable aliases
`EncryptedImapSmtpCaldavParams` / `DecryptedImapSmtpCaldavParams`
- Typed DTOs (`CreateApplicationRegistrationVariableInput`,
`UpdateApplicationRegistrationVariablePayload`,
`UpdateApplicationVariableEntityInput`) with `PlaintextString`
### ApplicationVariable always-encrypt uniformization
- Retyped `ApplicationVariableEntity.value` to `EncryptedString | ''` —
all values are now encrypted regardless of `isSecret`
- Updated `ApplicationVariableEntityService` to always encrypt on write
and always decrypt on read
- Simplified `UpdateApplicationVariableActionHandlerService` by removing
conditional encrypt/decrypt-on-isSecret-toggle logic
- Added slow instance command (`2.9.0`) to backfill-encrypt existing
`isSecret=false` plaintext rows and tighten the `CHECK` constraint
### ConfigStorageService refactor
- Split `convertAndSecureValue` (which used `any`) into two well-typed
methods: `convertAndDecrypt` and `convertAndEncrypt`
- Introduced `isSensitiveStringValue` type predicate to narrow values
before encryption/decryption
### What's next
- Typeorm entity derivation to strictly type sitemap configuration as
code + handler logic for encryption rotation
- https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2465
## Summary
Adds a daily Enterprise-only cron that rotates the current ES256 JWT
signing key once it has been current for `SIGNING_KEY_ROTATION_DAYS`.
Manual rotation from the admin panel is unaffected.
### Behaviour
- `SIGNING_KEY_ROTATION_DAYS` is **opt-in**: when unset, the cron is a
no-op.
- Rotation flips `isCurrent` and clears the previous key's `privateKey`
in the same transaction, then inserts the new `isCurrent=true` row.
- The previous key's row is kept (`revokedAt` stays `null`) so its
`publicKey` can keep verifying tokens it signed until they expire; only
the encrypted `privateKey` is wiped since it can no longer be used to
sign.
- **No auto-revocation** — revoking a key remains a manual admin action,
reserved for leak / emergency response.
- The cron is also a no-op when `EnterprisePlanService.isValid()` is
`false`.
### Wiring
- `JwtKeyManagerService.rotateCurrent()`
- `SigningKeyRotationService.rotateIfDue()` (reads
`SIGNING_KEY_ROTATION_DAYS`, skips when unset)
- `RotateSigningKeysCronJob` (Enterprise-gated, rethrows on failure)
registered in `JwtModule`
- `RotateSigningKeysCronCommand` registered with `cron:register:all`
- `ROTATE_SIGNING_KEYS_CRON_PATTERN = '15 3 * * *'` (daily, no-op until
threshold)
Operator documentation lives in #20611 (docs PR).
## Summary
- Adds a new admin-only **Security** tab to the Admin Panel (alongside
General/Apps/AI/Config/Health) containing a **Signing Keys** section.
The tab is intentionally introduced now so the upcoming **Encryption
rotation** work can land as a sibling section.
- Lists every JWT signing key with key id, `createdAt`, `revokedAt`,
current/active/revoked status, and a **7-day verification count** read
from Redis. A trailing row aggregates **legacy HS256** verifications so
it is clear when the deprecated path is still in use.
- Lets an admin **revoke** a public key. Revoking the current key drops
`isCurrent`, sets `revokedAt`, nulls the encrypted `privateKey` and
clears the in-process cached current key; the existing lazy path in
`JwtKeyManagerService.getCurrentSigningKey()` then mints a fresh current
key on the next sign.
## Backend
- `SigningKeyVerifyCounterService` — bucketed Redis counter under the
existing `EngineMetrics` namespace. 1-day UTC-aligned buckets, 8-day TTL
refreshed on every increment, batched read via `mget`. Failures are
swallowed and logged at `warn` so a Redis hiccup cannot break auth.
- `JwtWrapperService.verifyJwtToken` records verifies **after success**
for both ES256 (`kid` as identifier) and HS256 (the literal `legacy`
identifier).
- `JwtKeyManagerService.listSigningKeys()` and `revokeSigningKey(id)`:
list ordered by `isCurrent DESC, createdAt DESC`; revoke is idempotent,
validates the UUID, invalidates the public-key cache, and resets the
cached current-key promise.
- `AdminPanelResolver.getSigningKeys` (query) and `revokeSigningKey`
(mutation) are both decorated with `@UseGuards(AdminPanelGuard)` so they
are admin-only, like the 35 existing admin-only methods on this
resolver. `privateKey` is never returned over GraphQL.
## Frontend
- New `SECURITY` tab id wired into `SettingsAdminContent` and
`SettingsAdminTabContent` (gated by `canAccessFullAdminPanel`).
- `SettingsAdminSecurity` / `SettingsAdminSigningKeysTable` strictly
reuse existing admin-panel components: `Section`, `H2Title`,
`Table`/`TableRow`/`TableCell`/`TableHeader` from `@/ui/layout/table`,
`Tag`/`Button` from `twenty-ui`, and `ConfirmationModal` mirroring the
queue retry/delete modals. Only one minimal styled helper for the
monospaced UUID rendering.
- `useRevokeSigningKey` uses `useApolloAdminClient`, refetches
`GetSigningKeys`, shows success/error snackbars (same pattern as
`useRetryJobs`/`useDeleteJobs`).

## Summary
Second PR in the encryption key rotation series. The previous PR
(#20528) introduced `ENCRYPTION_KEY` + the versioned
`enc:v2:<keyId>:<base64>` envelope inside `SecretEncryptionService` and
migrated `ConnectedAccountTokenEncryptionService` as the first consumer.
This PR routes every remaining at-rest encryption site through the
versioned envelope so that `ENCRYPTION_KEY` (and the future
`FALLBACK_ENCRYPTION_KEY`) actually covers them. The legacy unprefixed
CTR ciphertext remains readable as a fallback during the rollout window
— every migrated read site uses `decryptVersioned`, which transparently
delegates to the legacy CTR decrypt when it sees an unprefixed payload.
### Service migrations
- **`ApplicationVariableEntityService` (#8)** — workspace-scoped. HKDF
info is bound to each row's `workspaceId`. A new
`decryptAndMaskVersioned` helper lands on `SecretEncryptionService` for
the resolver display path.
- **`ApplicationRegistrationVariableService` (#7)** + consumers —
**instance-scoped**. Registration variables are server-level config
readable by every workspace that installs the application, so HKDF info
is `instance`. Updated consumers:
- `LogicFunctionExecutorService.buildServerVariableEnvMap`
- `ConnectionProviderService.getClientCredentials`
- **`LogicFunctionExecutorService.buildEnvVar` (#9)** —
workspace-scoped. Each variable's `workspaceId` is threaded into
`decryptVersioned`, so per-workspace HKDF contexts are honoured at
execution time.
- **`UpdateApplicationVariableActionHandlerService`**
(workspace-migration runner) — threads `workspaceId` through the
secret/non-secret toggle.
- **`JwtKeyManagerService` (#3)** — instance-scoped. Signing keys are
shared across the JWKS.
- **`ConfigStorageService` (#6)** — instance-scoped sensitive STRING
config variables.
### Slow instance commands (2.5.0)
Each migrated site has a paired backfill that re-encrypts existing rows
into the v2 envelope before the column is constrained:
| timestamp | command | scope | CHECK constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| `1798000005000` | encrypt-application-variable | workspaceId |
`"isSecret" = false OR value = '' OR value LIKE 'enc:v2:%'` |
| `1798000006000` | encrypt-application-registration-variable | instance
| `"encryptedValue" = '' OR value LIKE 'enc:v2:%'` |
| `1798000007000` | encrypt-signing-key-private-keys | instance |
`"privateKey" IS NULL OR value LIKE 'enc:v2:%'` |
| `1798000008000` | encrypt-sensitive-config-storage | instance | _none_
— heterogeneous jsonb column |
All backfills are idempotent (the SELECT filter skips rows already in v2
form) and run before their respective `up()` adds the CHECK constraint.
Every `down()` deliberately stops at dropping the CHECK constraint —
they intentionally do not re-introduce plaintext on rollback.
### Tests
- Unit specs for each new slow command cover the v2 upgrade path, the
idempotency invariant, and the instance vs workspace HKDF scope.
- New `JwtKeyManagerService` spec asserts
`decryptVersioned`/`encryptVersioned` are called without `workspaceId`
(instance scope).
- Updated existing specs for `ApplicationVariableEntityService`,
`ConfigStorageService`, and `buildEnvVar` to assert the versioned API
and the workspace HKDF context plumbing.
- New `SecretEncryptionService.decryptAndMaskVersioned` cases in the
service spec.
- Updated the `applicationRegistrationVariable` integration spec to
assert the column now stores `enc:v2:<keyId>:<base64>` instead of raw
legacy CTR.
### Out of scope (future PRs)
- `PostgresCredentialsService` — bespoke
`jwtWrapperService.generateAppSecret`–derived key +
`encryptText`/`decryptText` from `auth.util.ts`; deserves its own
migration.
- `SimpleSecretEncryptionUtil` (TOTP) — entirely different `aes-256-cbc`
`iv:enc` format; deserves its own migration.
## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server`
- [x] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` (oxlint + prettier)
- [x] Local jest run for `secret-encryption | connected-account-token |
application-variable | application-registration-variable | build-env-var
| jwt-key-manager | config-storage | encrypt-application-variable |
encrypt-application-registration-variable | encrypt-signing-key |
encrypt-sensitive-config-storage` — 17 suites, 106 tests pass.
- [x] Local jest run for `upgrade | instance-command` — 12 suites, 86
tests pass.
- [ ] CI green
- [ ] Manual review of CHECK constraint shapes by a server reviewer
(each one matches `enc:v2:%` rather than `enc:v_:%` since none of the
migrated columns can legitimately hold `enc:v1:` ciphertext).
## Summary
Extends the asymmetric signing work from #20467 to cover **every
remaining `JwtTokenTypeEnum` value**: `LOGIN`, `WORKSPACE_AGNOSTIC`,
`FILE`, `API_KEY`, `APPLICATION_ACCESS`, `APPLICATION_REFRESH`,
`APP_OAUTH_STATE`, plus the ACCESS-shaped session token issued by the
code interpreter tool.
After this PR, every JWT the server signs is ES256 with a `kid` pointing
at the current `core."signingKey"` row, while legacy HS256 tokens (no
`kid` header) remain verifiable indefinitely through the existing
fallback in `JwtWrapperService.resolveVerificationKey`. No new entity /
migration / config: this is a pure routing change on top of the
infrastructure that already shipped.
## Why
`#20467` only flipped `ACCESS` and `REFRESH` to ES256. Every other JWT
type was still HS256-signed against the global `APP_SECRET`, which kept
the original blast radius (a leaked `APP_SECRET` invalidates *every* JWT
type forever). Migrating the rest unifies the sign path on rotatable
per-server private keys without forcing any token reissue.
## Mechanical changes
### Sign side (8 services)
- `LoginTokenService.generateLoginToken`
- `TransientTokenService.generateTransientToken`
- `WorkspaceAgnosticTokenService.generateWorkspaceAgnosticToken`
- `ApplicationTokenService.signApplicationToken` (`APPLICATION_ACCESS` +
`APPLICATION_REFRESH`)
- `ApiKeyService.generateApiKeyToken`
- `FileUrlService.signFileByIdUrl` / `signWorkspaceLogoUrl`
- `ConnectionProviderOAuthFlowService.signState` (`APP_OAUTH_STATE`)
- `CodeInterpreterTool.generateSessionToken`
Each call site swaps `jwtWrapperService.sign(payload, { secret:
generateAppSecret(...), ... })` for `await
jwtWrapperService.signAsync(payload, { expiresIn, [jwtid] })`. The
`generateAppSecret` calls on the sign side are dropped (verifier-side
`generateAppSecret` stays in `resolveVerificationKey` for the HS256
fallback).
### Verifier side
- `WorkspaceAgnosticTokenService.validateToken` now goes through
`verifyJwtToken` instead of the bespoke `verify({ secret })` path, so
new ES256 tokens are accepted while the legacy HS256 fallback inside
`resolveVerificationKey` still serves the old shape.
- `JwtWrapperService.sign()` is kept (legacy compat / tests) but is now
strictly deprecated — there are no remaining production callers.
### Async ripple (`signFileByIdUrl` was synchronous)
- `FileUrlService.signFileByIdUrl` and `signWorkspaceLogoUrl` are now
`async`; the `signUrl` callback used by `getRecordImageIdentifier` is
widened to accept `Promise<string | null>`.
- Every direct/indirect caller is updated: admin panel (user lookup +
statistics + top workspaces), search service
(`computeSearchObjectResults`, `getImageIdentifierValue`), workspace
resolver (`logo` resolver, public workspace by domain/id),
`WorkspaceMemberTranspiler` (now `async toWorkspaceMemberDto[s]` /
`toDeletedWorkspaceMemberDto[s]` / `generateSignedAvatarUrl`),
`UserService.loadSignedAvatarUrlsByUserId`,
`UserWorkspaceService.castWorkspaceToAvailableWorkspace`,
workspace-invitation, approved-access-domain, agent-chat-streaming,
agent-message-part resolver, navigation-menu-item record identifier,
file-ai-chat / file-core-picture / file-email-attachment / file-workflow
/ files-field services, rich-text & files-field query result getters,
and the code-interpreter tool.
## Backward compatibility
- **Legacy HS256 tokens (no `kid`)** keep verifying via
`resolveVerificationKey` → `extractAppSecretBody` → `generateAppSecret`
for both `workspaceId`-bearing and `userId`-bearing payloads.
- The `API_KEY` HS256-via-ACCESS-secret fallback (#16504) still kicks in
inside `verifyJwtToken` for pre-2025-12-12 API keys.
- No payload shape changes, no DB writes, no env var changes — old
tokens issued by `main` continue to authenticate.
## Tests
### Unit (all green locally — 63/63)
Updated specs for every migrated service to mock `signAsync` instead of
`sign` and assert the new option shape:
- `login-token.service.spec.ts`, `transient-token.service.spec.ts`,
`workspace-agnostic-token.service.spec.ts`,
`application-token.service.spec.ts`, `api-key.service.spec.ts`,
`connection-provider-oauth-flow.service.spec.ts`.
### Integration (`jwt-key-rotation.integration-spec.ts`)
- Existing ACCESS coverage (current key, legacy HS256 fallback,
rotated-out key, revoked key, unknown kid) is preserved.
- New `it.each` assertion: `REFRESH`, `WORKSPACE_AGNOSTIC`, and `LOGIN`
tokens emitted by the real signUp → signUpInNewWorkspace →
getAuthTokensFromLoginToken pipeline are ES256 with a `kid` matching the
current signing key — proves end-to-end that the migration didn't
regress those flows.
## Open question (separate decision)
This PR keeps the legacy HS256 verification fallback **forever**. We may
eventually want to sunset it for `API_KEY` once telemetry shows
pre-migration tokens are gone, but that's a separate product/security
decision and not part of this change.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI green
- [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` passes
- [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` passes
- [ ] `jwt-key-rotation` integration suite passes (new + existing
assertions)
- [ ] Manually verify: signing in issues an ES256 ACCESS / REFRESH
token, generating an API key issues an ES256 token with `kid`, signed
file URL JWT is ES256 with `kid`
- [ ] Pre-existing HS256 tokens still authenticate (covered by
integration test, but worth a manual check with a token from `main`)
## Context
Today every JWT issued by Twenty (access, refresh, login, file, etc.) is
HMAC-signed with a per-token-type secret derived from the global
`APP_SECRET`. Rotating that secret invalidates **every** active token at
once and there is no way to scope a leak to a subset of tokens.
This PR is the first slice of a broader effort to **decouple stateful
encryption (`APP_SECRET`-derived secrets) from stateless encryption
(JWTs)**. It introduces an asymmetric (private/public key) signing path
for `ACCESS` and `REFRESH` tokens and a signing-key registry to enable
**safe rotation**: leaked keys can be revoked by flipping
`revokedAt`/`isCurrent` on the matching row without invalidating tokens
issued by other keys.
> Out of scope (intentionally): swapping stateful encryption for
`APP_SECRET`, asymmetric signing for token types other than
`ACCESS`/`REFRESH`, an admin-panel rotation UI, and an enterprise
re-encryption command. Those will land in follow-up PRs.
## What changes
- **New `core.signingKey` table** (instance command `2.5.0` /
`1778550000000`) storing both the public key (PEM, in clear) and the
private key (PEM, encrypted with `APP_SECRET` via
`SecretEncryptionService`). One row is marked `isCurrent = true`
(enforced by a partial unique index). The row's UUID `id` is used
directly as the JWT `kid`.
- When a key is rotated out, its `privateKey` is nulled (we never keep
historical private keys) but the `publicKey` row stays so previously
issued tokens can still be verified.
- **`JwtKeyManagerService`** lazily loads-or-generates the current
signing key on first use:
- If a row with `isCurrent = true` exists → decrypts and uses it.
- Otherwise → generates a fresh EC P-256 keypair, encrypts the private
key, inserts the row (UUID id = kid). Handles concurrent insert races
via the unique constraint.
- **`JwtWrapperService.signAsync()`** signs `ACCESS`/`REFRESH` payloads
with `ES256` and a `kid` header. Falls back to `HS256` if no signing key
is available (boot-time DB error, transient failure).
- **Dual-path verification** in both `JwtWrapperService.verifyJwtToken`
and the Passport `JwtAuthStrategy.secretOrKeyProvider`:
- JWT with a `kid` header → resolve the public key PEM by id and verify
with `ES256`,
- otherwise → fall back to the existing `APP_SECRET`-derived `HS256`
path (unchanged).
- **`AccessTokenService` / `RefreshTokenService`** now sign through
`signAsync` (single public surface; the routing detail stays internal to
the wrapper).
- **Public key cache**: a new `SigningKeyEntityCacheProviderService`
plugs into `CoreEntityCacheService` (`signingKeyPublicKey` namespace)
and serves PEMs by id, with the standard local-memo + Redis layering.
- **PEM strings end-to-end**: `jsonwebtoken` accepts PEM strings
directly for both sign and verify, so the manager never converts to a
Node `KeyObject` and the cache hands the PEM straight to `jwt.verify`.
## Why ES256 (and not EdDSA / RS256)
- `@nestjs/jwt` is backed by `jsonwebtoken`, which does **not** support
EdDSA today.
- ES256 keys are tiny (~120 bytes vs 1.6 kB for RS256), signatures are
short (~64 bytes), and signing/verification is fast — important since
JWT verification runs on every authenticated request.
- ES256 is widely supported and standardized (RFC 7518), with mature
ecosystem support.
## Why store the private key in DB (not env)
- No new secret to provision: existing instances already have
`APP_SECRET`, which we reuse to encrypt the private key at rest.
- Self-healing: a fresh instance auto-generates its first signing key on
first boot. Nothing to copy/paste.
- Rotation is a SQL operation against `core.signingKey`, not a redeploy
+ env mutation.
## Backward compatibility
- All previously-issued tokens (no `kid`) keep verifying through the
legacy HS256 path with their existing `APP_SECRET`-derived secret. No
forced re-login.
- Token types not in scope (`WORKSPACE_AGNOSTIC`, `API_KEY`, `FILE`,
`LOGIN`, `EMAIL_VERIFICATION`, etc.) keep their current HS256 behavior
unchanged — they still go through the synchronous
`JwtWrapperService.sign(payload, options)` with a caller-supplied
secret.
- `signWithAppSecret` is kept intentionally as the HS256 fallback path;
it will be deprecated in a follow-up PR.
- If the DB lookup/generation fails for any reason, the wrapper logs the
error and falls back to HS256 — no startup crash, no silent regression.
## Rotation story
1. Bootstrap: first signing call lazily inserts a row in
`core.signingKey` with `isCurrent = true`, `privateKey =
encrypt(pem_A)`. New tokens carry `kid_A`.
2. Rotate: `UPDATE core."signingKey" SET "isCurrent" = false,
"privateKey" = NULL WHERE id = '<kid_A>';` then insert a new row with
`isCurrent = true`. New tokens carry `kid_B`. Tokens still in flight
with `kid_A` keep verifying because the public-key row for `kid_A` is
still there.
3. Revoke: `UPDATE core."signingKey" SET "revokedAt" = now() WHERE id =
'<kid_A>';`. All tokens with `kid_A` now fail verification cleanly with
`UNAUTHENTICATED` (no 500).
4. Tokens with no `kid` (legacy) are unaffected throughout.
## Test plan
- [x] Unit: `JwtWrapperService` dual-path verification (HS256 no-kid vs
ES256 with-kid), unknown-kid → `UNAUTHENTICATED`, `signAsync` happy path
+ `null` when no key, `signAsync` rejection for non-rotatable types.
- [x] Unit: `JwtAuthStrategy` `secretOrKeyProvider` dual-path resolution
and algorithm validation.
- [x] All existing JWT/auth/application unit tests adjusted to the
renamed public method.
- [x] Integration (`jwt-key-rotation.integration-spec.ts`):
- **Happy path**: signed-up user's `ACCESS` token has `alg=ES256` +
correct UUID `kid`, the `isCurrent=true` row exists in
`core.signingKey`, `getCurrentUser` resolves.
- **Legacy fallback**: hand-crafted no-kid HS256 token verifies via the
legacy `APP_SECRET`-derived path.
- **Previous-key rotation**: token signed by a hardcoded *previous* key
whose row is pre-inserted with `privateKey = NULL` (rotated-out) still
verifies — proves the leaked-key revocation flow works in both
directions.
- **Unknown kid**: token signed with an orphan UUID `kid` is cleanly
rejected (no 500).

## Summary
Removes the `?token=` URL query-parameter fallback from JWT
authentication. Every authenticated route (`/graphql`, `/metadata`,
REST, etc.) used to accept a full workspace JWT in the URL alongside the
`Authorization` header. The fallback was intended for the REST API
Playground only, but it was wired into the global Passport JWT extractor
and applied to every route.
URL-borne tokens leak into:
- Server access logs (nginx / Apache / CDN / proxy / load balancer)
- Log aggregators (Datadog, CloudWatch, Loki, Sumo, …)
- Browser history (and synced across devices)
- `Referer` headers when navigating to external pages
- Browser extensions with `tabs`/`webNavigation` permissions
A leaked log line was equivalent to a leaked workspace credential for
the lifetime of the token.
## What changed
- **`jwt-wrapper.service.ts`** — `extractJwtFromRequest()` is now
header-only (`ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken()`). No URL
fallback anywhere in the system.
- **`open-api.service.ts` / `base-schema.utils.ts`** — Dropped the
`token?: string` plumbing that propagated the URL token into the schema
description. The "Authentication" section gains a "Never put your token
in a URL" warning. The "Usage with LLMs" section is rewritten to point
at the **Twenty MCP server** (header-authenticated, exposes typed tools
— the right tool for AI agents) instead of telling users to paste
tokenized OpenAPI URLs into Cursor/ChatGPT.
- **`RestPlayground.tsx`** — Now fetches the OpenAPI schema with
`Authorization: Bearer ${playgroundApiKey}` and passes the JSON document
to Scalar via `spec.content` instead of constructing a URL with
`?token=`. Aborts in-flight fetches on unmount/key change.
- **New integration test** — Asserts `?token=` is rejected on `/rest/*`,
`/graphql`, `/metadata`, and that `/rest/open-api/core?token=` returns
the unauthenticated base schema (no workspace object paths).
## Why not keep `?token=` scoped to the OpenAPI endpoint only
The first instinct was to narrow the fallback to just
`/rest/open-api/*`, since that endpoint is what the Scalar playground
component fetches. But the same log-leakage attack still applies to that
endpoint — the workspace JWT would still sit in access logs, just from
one URL pattern instead of all of them. The cleaner long-term fix is to
remove the URL pattern entirely and let the playground fetch with a
header (Scalar supports `spec.content` natively). For LLM agent use, the
MCP server is a strictly better path — typed tools, OAuth or
header-based API key auth, no tokens in URLs anywhere.
## Not affected
File downloads at `file-url.service.ts` also use `?token=` URLs but with
separate, short-lived `FILE`-typed tokens validated by
`file-by-id.guard.ts` directly (not via `extractJwtFromRequest`). That
mechanism is scoped per-file with limited TTL and is acceptable.
## Action required for users
Anyone who previously pasted `?token=` URLs into LLM tools, scripts,
bookmarks, or shared configs should rotate their workspace API keys.
Those tokens are likely captured in server logs / chat histories
somewhere.
## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` — clean
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` — clean
- [x] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` — clean
- [x] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-front` — clean
- [x] OpenAPI utils unit tests + snapshots — 11/11 pass
- [ ] Run the new integration test against a live server: `nx run
twenty-server:test:integration:with-db-reset` and verify
`url-token-auth-rejection.integration-spec.ts` passes
- [ ] Manually open Settings → Playground → REST, confirm the schema
loads (now via Bearer header instead of `?token=` URL)
- [ ] Manually verify `POST /metadata?token=<jwt>` (no Authorization
header) returns Forbidden, and the same request with the token in the
header returns the user

## Summary
- **File storage (LocalDriver):** Add realpath resolution and symlink
rejection to `writeFile`, `downloadFile`, and `downloadFolder` — brings
them in line with the existing `readFile` protections. Includes unit
tests.
- **JWT:** Pin signing/verification to HS256 explicitly.
- **Auth:** Revoke active refresh tokens when a user changes their
password.
- **Logic functions:** Validate `handlerName` as a safe JS identifier at
both DTO and runtime level, preventing injection into the generated
runner script.
- **User entity:** Remove `passwordHash` from the GraphQL schema
(`@Field` decorator removed, column stays).
- **Query params:** Use `crypto.randomBytes` instead of `Math.random`
for SQL parameter name generation.
- **Exception filter:** Mirror the request `Origin` header instead of
sending `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`.
## Test plan
- [x] `local.driver.spec.ts` — writeFile rejects symlinks, downloadFile
rejects paths outside storage
- [ ] Verify JWT auth flow still works (login, token refresh)
- [ ] Verify password change invalidates existing sessions
- [ ] Verify logic function creation with valid/invalid handler names
- [ ] Verify file upload/download in dev environment

## Summary
- Removes unreachable dead code in `verifyJwtToken` — a legacy API key
verification block where the condition (`!payload.type && type ===
API_KEY`) was logically impossible. Also removes the now-unused
`isLegacyApiKey` parameter and `generateAppSecretLegacy` method.
- Adds explicit token type validation after JWT decode in
`verifyLoginToken`, `verifyRefreshToken`, and `verifyTransientToken`.
Each function now rejects tokens whose `type` field doesn't match what's
expected (defense-in-depth — the HMAC secret already binds the type, but
this makes the contract explicit).
## Test plan
- [x] Updated existing specs for login-token, refresh-token, renew-token
services — all 16 tests passing
- [x] Lint clean

- moves applicationRoleId to application entity
- add new `APPLICATION` FieldActorSource and `APPLICATION`
JwtTokenTypeEnum value
- create a new token with applicationId when executing a function
- when applicationId is in token, check for application.defaultRole
permissions
-use twenty-shared types in `twenty-sdk/application`
- create a new import from generate called "Twenty" that you can use
directly without having to set TWENTY_API_KEY AND TWENTY_API_URL (keep
metadata or core parameter only)
- provide to serverless unique one time BEARER TOKEN to run it

# Introduction
Added a no-explicit-any rule to the twenty-server, not applicable to
tests and integration tests folder
Related to https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/975
Discussed with Charles
## In case of conflicts
Until this is approved I won't rebased and handle conflict, just need to
drop two latest commits and re run the scripts etc
## Legacy
We decided not to handle the existing lint error occurrences and
programmatically ignored them through a disable next line rule comment
## Open question
We might wanna activate the
[no-explicit-any](https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/no-explicit-any/)
`ignoreRestArgs` for our use case ?
```
ignoreRestArgs?: boolean;
```

# Introduction
In this PR we've migrated `twenty-shared` from a `vite` app
[libary-mode](https://vite.dev/guide/build#library-mode) to a
[preconstruct](https://preconstruct.tools/) "atomic" application ( in
the future would like to introduce preconstruct to handle of all our
atomic dependencies such as `twenty-emails` `twenty-ui` etc it will be
integrated at the monorepo's root directly, would be to invasive in the
first, starting incremental via `twenty-shared`)

## How to test
In order to ease the review this PR will ship all the codegen at the
very end, the actual meaning full diff is `+2,411 −114`
In order to migrate existing dependent packages to `twenty-shared` multi
barrel new arch you need to run in local:
```sh
yarn tsx packages/twenty-shared/scripts/migrateFromSingleToMultiBarrelImport.ts && \
npx nx run-many -t lint --fix -p twenty-front twenty-ui twenty-server twenty-emails twenty-shared twenty-zapier
```
Note that `migrateFromSingleToMultiBarrelImport` is idempotent, it's atm
included in the PR but should not be merged. ( such as codegen will be
added before merging this script will be removed )
## Misc

- https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/10993
- https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/10960
## Upcoming enhancement: ( in others dedicated PRs )
- 1/ refactor generate barrel to export atomic module instead of `*`
- 2/ generate barrel own package with several files and tests
- 3/ Migration twenty-ui the same way
- 4/ Use `preconstruct` at monorepo global level
## Conclusion
As always any suggestions are welcomed !
# Introduction
Avoid having multiple `isDefined` definition across our pacakges
Also avoid importing `isDefined` from `twenty-ui` which exposes a huge
barrel for a such little util function
## In a nutshell
Removed own `isDefined.ts` definition from `twenty-ui` `twenty-front`
and `twenty-server` to move it to `twenty-shared`.
Updated imports for each packages, and added explicit dependencies to
`twenty-shared` if not already in place
Related PR https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/9941
In this PR:
- refactoring auth module to extract a jwt module that can be re-used
from other part of the app (avoiding circular dependencies file module
=> auth => file (file and auth both need jwt actually)
- activating imageIdentfier on person on workspace creation (this will
put back the images on people)
- fixing picture upload (we were missing some fileToken)
