Refactor manifest build and remove src folder assumptions
- Unified entity builder interface: All entity builders now return
EntityBuildResult<T> with both manifests and filePaths
- Always return build result: runManifestBuild now always returns {
manifest, filePaths } instead of null on failure
- Return all entity paths: EntityFilePaths includes paths for all entity
types (application, objects, functions, etc.)
- Remove src folder assumptions: Applications can now have entities at
root level - removed hasSrcFolder checks
- Simplify watchers: Removed entries caching, compute lazily with map()
- Stabilize tests: Replaced flaky console output snapshots with key
message assertions; replaced inline snapshots with array comparisons
-
# Improve cross-entity duplicate detection in manifest validation
- Refactored findDuplicates to receive the full manifest, enabling
cross-entity duplicate checks
-ObjectExtensionEntityBuilder now validates that extension field IDs
don't conflict with object field IDs
- Renamed DuplicateId type to EntityIdWithLocation for clarity
- Updated all entity builders to use the new signature
Heavy Refactoring of the watcher, sorry about this one, I'll keep
iterating on it.
In a nutshell:
- app-dev.ts is maintaining 3 watchers in parallel: manifest, function
and frontComponent
## Add `frontComponent` entity type to SDK
This PR adds a new `frontComponent` entity type at parity with
`serverlessFunction`. Front components are React components that can be
defined and bundled as part of Twenty applications.
### Changes
#### New Entity Type
- Added `FRONT_COMPONENT` to `SyncableEntity` enum
- Front components use `*.front-component.tsx` file naming convention
- CLI command `twenty app:add` now includes `front-component` as an
option
#### SDK Application Layer (`twenty-sdk`)
- Added `defineFrontComponent()` function for defining front component
configurations with validation
- Added `FrontComponentConfig` type for component configuration
- Added `getFrontComponentBaseFile()` template generator for scaffolding
new front components
- Added `loadFrontComponentModule()` to load front component modules and
extract component metadata
#### Shared Types (`twenty-shared`)
- Added `FrontComponentManifest` type with `universalIdentifier`,
`name`, `description`, `componentPath`, and `componentName` fields
- Updated `ApplicationManifest` to include optional `frontComponents`
array
#### Manifest Build System
- Updated `manifest-build.ts` to discover and load
`*.front-component.tsx` files
- Updated `manifest-validate.ts` to validate front components and check
for duplicate IDs
- Updated `manifest-display.ts` to display front component count in
build summary
- Updated `manifest-plugin.ts` to display front component entry points
and watch `.tsx` files
#### Template (`create-twenty-app`)
- New applications now include a sample
`hello-world.front-component.tsx` file
#### Tests
- Added unit tests for `defineFrontComponent()`
- Added unit tests for `getFrontComponentBaseFile()`
## Summary
This PR adds function build support to the `twenty dev` command,
enabling tree-shaken production builds of serverless functions during
development with Vite's incremental build capabilities.
## Changes
### New Features
- **Function building in dev mode**: Serverless functions are now
compiled to tree-shaken bundles in `.twenty/functions/` during
development
- **Automatic restart on entry point changes**: When functions are added
or removed, the watcher automatically restarts with the new
configuration
- **Function entry point logging**: Dev mode now displays detected
function entry points with their names and paths
Summary
Rewrites the app:dev command to use Vite's dev server instead of manual
file watching with chokidar. This provides better file watching
capabilities and aligns with the existing build tooling.

## Description
This PR improves the developer experience for the `twenty-sdk` and
`create-twenty-app` packages by reorganizing commands, adding
development tooling, and improving documentation.
## Changes
### twenty-sdk
#### Command Refactoring
- **Renamed `app-watch` → `app-dev`**: Renamed `AppWatchCommand` to
`AppDevCommand` and moved to `app-dev.ts` for consistent naming with the
CLI command `app:dev`
- **Moved `app-add` → `entity-add`**: Relocated entity creation logic
from `app/app-add.ts` to `entity/entity-add.ts` and renamed
`AppAddCommand` to `EntityAddCommand` for better separation of concerns
#### Development Tooling
- **Added `dev` target**: New Nx target `npx nx run twenty-sdk:dev` that
runs the build in watch mode for faster development iteration
### create-twenty-app
#### Improved Scaffolded Project
- **Enhanced base-application README** with:
- Updated Getting Started to recommend `yarn dev` for development
- Added "Available Commands" section listing all available scripts
#### Better Onboarding
- **Improved success message** after app creation with formatted next
steps:

We will re-organize twenty-sdk in an upcoming PR

In this PR
- handle settings permission check for applications. Until then this was
unhandled and applications could not perform actions requiring settings
permissions, even if they were granted them
- fix ties to attachment, noteTarget etc:
When an object had their fields synchronized in the app, the system
fields created as a side-effect of the object creation (relations to
noteTarget, attachment, taskTarget, favorites, timelineActivities -
created with `isCustom: true`, not sure that is correct btw) were then
deleted because they are not declared in the app, and identified as
deletable because of `isCustom: true`.
Updating the logic to exclude system fields from the logic that detects
fields to delete.
I think this outline the confusion we have around isCustom, isSystem
etc.
- introduce uploadFile util in generated twenty client as it cannot be
handled by the client's query / mutation. I had to use this for my
invoicing app
- add `forwardedRequestHeaders` `string[]` column in `core.routeTrigger`
- filter request headers and forward filtered headers to function
payload (avoid spreading unexpectedly token or cookie)
- add `forwardedRequestHeaders` option in twenty-sdk `defineFunction`
util
BREAKING for actual routeTrigger payload but only 16 to migrate in
production
- 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
Result

First PR to implement application tokens
- add new application role in twenty-server
- move duplicated constants and types to twenty-shared
- will add role configuration utils into twenty-sdk in another PR
# Introduction
Important note: for the moment testing this locally will require some
hack due to latest twenty-sdk not being published.
You will need to build twenty-cli and `cd packages/twenty-cli && yarn
link`
To finally sync the app in your app folder as `cd app-folder && twenty
app sync`
close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1863
In this PR is introduced the generate sdk programmatic call to
[genql](https://genql.dev/) exposed in a `client` barrel of `twenty-sdk`
located in this package as there's high chances that will add a codegen
layer above it at some point ?
The cli calls this method after a sync application and writes a client
in a generated folder. It will make a graql introspection query on the
whole workspace. We should later improve that and only filter by current
applicationId and its dependencies ( when twenty-standard application is
introduced )
Fully typesafe ( input, output, filters etc ) auto-completed client
