## Summary
- **Module reorganization**: Moved `ApplicationUpgradeService` and cron
jobs to `application-upgrade/`, `ApplicationSyncService` to
`application-manifest/`, and
`runWorkspaceMigration`/`uninstallApplication` mutations to the manifest
resolver — each module now has a single clear responsibility.
- **Explicit install flow**: Removed implicit `ApplicationEntity`
creation from `ApplicationSyncService`. The install service and dev
resolver now explicitly create the `ApplicationEntity` before syncing.
npm packages are resolved at registration time to extract manifest
metadata (universalIdentifier, name, description, etc.), eliminating the
`reconcileUniversalIdentifier` hack.
- **Better error handling**: Frontend hooks now surface actual server
error messages in snackbars instead of swallowing them. Replaced the
ugly `ConfirmationModal` for transfer ownership with a proper form
modal. Fixed `SettingsAdminTableCard` row height overflow and corrected
the `yarn-engine` asset path.
## Test plan
- [ ] Register an npm package — verify manifest metadata (name,
description, universalIdentifier) is extracted correctly
- [ ] Install a registered npm app on a workspace — verify
ApplicationEntity is created and sync succeeds
- [ ] Test `app:dev` CLI flow — verify local app registration and sync
work
- [ ] Upload a tarball — verify registration and install flow
- [ ] Transfer ownership — verify the new modal UX works
- [ ] Verify error messages appear correctly in snackbars when
operations fail

## Add API client generation to SDK dev mode and refactor orchestrator
into step-based pipeline
### Why
The SDK dev mode lacked typed API client generation, forcing developers
to work without auto-generated GraphQL types when building applications.
Additionally, the orchestrator was a monolithic class that mixed watcher
management, token handling, and sync logic — making it difficult to
extend with new steps like client generation.
### How
- **Refactored the orchestrator** into a step-based pipeline with
dedicated classes: `CheckServer`, `EnsureValidTokens`,
`ResolveApplication`, `BuildManifest`, `UploadFiles`,
`GenerateApiClient`, `SyncApplication`, and `StartWatchers`. Each step
has typed input/output/status, managed by a new `OrchestratorState`
class.
- **Added `GenerateApiClientOrchestratorStep`** that detects
object/field schema changes and regenerates a typed GraphQL client (via
`@genql/cli`) into `node_modules/twenty-sdk/generated` for seamless
imports.
- **Replaced `checkApplicationExist`** with `findOneApplication` on both
server resolver and SDK API service, returning the entity data instead
of a boolean.
- **Added application token pair mutations**
(`generateApplicationToken`, `renewApplicationToken`) to the API
service, with the server now returning `ApplicationTokenPairDTO`
containing both access and refresh tokens.
- **Restructured the dev UI** into `dev/ui/components/` with dedicated
panel, section, and event log components.
- **Simplified `AppDevCommand`** from ~180 lines of watcher management
down to ~40 lines that delegate entirely to the orchestrator.
## Add application-scoped GraphQL schema generation
When an application token is used to authenticate, the `/graphql` schema
is now dynamically filtered to only include entities belonging to that
application (plus the Twenty Standard Application). This enables
third-party applications and the SDK to introspect a schema that is
relevant to their scope, rather than seeing the full workspace schema
with all custom objects.
### Changes
- **New `generateApplicationToken` mutation** on the `/metadata`
endpoint, allowing callers to exchange an API key for an
application-scoped JWT token
- **Schema filtering by application** in `WorkspaceSchemaFactory` — when
`request.application` is present (from an application token), flat
entity maps are filtered by `[appId, standardAppId]` before schema
generation
- **Per-app caching** — both the Yoga in-memory cache and Redis cache
now include the `appId` in their keys to avoid serving wrong schemas
- **Consolidated `getSubFlatEntityMapsByApplicationIdsOrThrow`** —
unified the single-ID and multi-ID filtering utilities into one
- **Integration tests** covering token generation (admin + API key auth)
and schema introspection filtering (standard app token excludes custom
objects)
