Paul Rastoin 0c545bcdeb [BREAKING-CHANGE] Centralize system View viewField side effect (#23081)
# Introduction

Closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2669

Part of the `isSystemSideEffect` engine-ownership effort. Until now, a
custom object's default **INDEX** table view (`All {objectLabelPlural}`)
and its view fields were built imperatively in `ObjectMetadataService`
with random `v4()` identifiers, while `twenty-standard` authored its own
copies with hardcoded literals. The two never converged, an object
rename could drift the view, and nothing marked these rows as
engine-owned.

This PR makes the metadata side-effect engine the **single owner** of
the INDEX view and its view fields, on name-free deterministic
identifiers, for custom and standard objects alike.

## Core design

- **Name-free deterministic identity.** The INDEX view identifier
derives from `object identifier + ViewKey.INDEX`
(`getSystemViewUniversalIdentifier`); each view-field identifier derives
from `view identifier + field identifier`
(`getViewFieldUniversalIdentifier`). An object rename (with a pinned
object identifier) keeps the same view, losslessly.
- **`isSystemSideEffect: true` is provenance.** Every INDEX view / view
field the engine emits is flagged system-owned, so manifest deletion
inference never drops it. The flag follows the view: a view field
inherits its parent view's flag.
- **The engine is the sole owner of the INDEX view.** It always emits
it; a caller providing one with the same derived identifier is a genuine
conflict surfaced by the engine's reserved-identifier collision, not
silently deferred.

## Changes

### Shared (`twenty-shared`)

- `getIndexViewUniversalIdentifier` →
`getSystemViewUniversalIdentifier`, now taking a `viewKey` (generalizes
to any singleton engine-owned view).
- Standard field identifiers extracted into a new
`STANDARD_OBJECT_FIELDS` constant, so both an object's `fields` and its
INDEX view read the same field identifiers.
- `buildStandardObjectIndexView` derives the standard INDEX view +
view-field identifiers from `STANDARD_OBJECT_FIELDS`, replacing the
hardcoded literals in `standard-object.constant.ts`.

### Metadata side-effect engine (custom objects)

- **`objectSystemFieldsAndIndexViewOnCreate`** (replaces
`objectSystemFieldsOnCreate`): on object creation, provisions the 7
reserved system fields **and** the INDEX view with one view field per
displayable system field, all `isSystemSideEffect: true`.
- **`fieldIndexViewFieldOnCreate`** (new): on field creation, provisions
the field's INDEX view field. Object created in the same batch →
visible, positioned before the system view fields; pre-existing object →
hidden, appended (preserving the historical `createOneField` behavior).
Both branches resolve the INDEX view by its derived identifier (single
map access, never a scan).
- **`fieldSystemViewFieldsOnDelete`** (new): on field deletion,
cascade-deletes every engine-owned view field displaying it.
- **`objectSystemSideEffectsOnDelete`** (extended): now also
cascade-deletes the object's engine-owned views and their view fields
(in addition to system fields, indexes, searchFieldMetadata). Every
lookup walks a foreign-key aggregator down from the deleted object, so
the work is proportional to what the object owns, never to workspace
size.
- Object-create and field-create positions are derived from the same
caller-input field list, so the INDEX view layout is contiguous with no
handler-ordering dependency.
- `view` / `viewField` added to the side-effect companion metadata names
for `fieldMetadata` and `objectMetadata`.

### Reserved-identifier invariant

A caller can never define an entity whose identifier collides with one a
system side effect produces: caller inputs are forced
`isSystemSideEffect: false` at every entry point (API and app-manifest
transpilers), and the engine raises
`RESERVED_SYSTEM_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER`, aborting the operation, when a
system emission lands on a caller-claimed identifier. Covered by a new
engine-level test.

### Caller-side provisioning removed

The imperative INDEX view + view-field provisioning is removed from
`ObjectMetadataService.createOneObject`. The record-page `FIELDS_WIDGET`
view is intentionally left caller-side and deferred to the follow-up
(see below).

### `twenty-standard` convergence

Standard INDEX views and their view fields converge on the same
derived-identifier + `isSystemSideEffect: true` scheme as the engine.
`twenty-standard` syncs through the from/to migration path (which never
runs the side-effect engine), so it authors this INDEX surface itself,
matching what the engine produces for custom objects.

## Rollout

Two `2.26.0` workspace commands, running after the `2.25`
messageCampaign commands:

- `upgrade:2-26:reconcile-index-view-universal-identifier` re-owns the
INDEX views of the **twenty-standard and workspace-custom applications**
and all their view fields to the derived identifiers with
`isSystemSideEffect: true`, in a single per-workspace transaction. Each
view field identifier is keyed on the application of the **displayed
field** (an app or user column on a standard INDEX view converges too).
Soft-deleted views and view fields are skipped: one can coexist with an
active successor on the same derivation inputs and both would derive the
same identifier. Children reference the view by primary key, so the
re-own is lossless.
- `upgrade:2-26:demote-and-backfill-application-index-view` handles
**manifest-installed applications**, which never had their INDEX view
auto-provisioned: every caller-authored INDEX view of another
application is demoted to `key: null` (a plain additional view under its
manifest identifier), then every application object gets the
engine-owned INDEX view and its full view-field layout backfilled
through the migration pipeline's legacy path (no side-effect expansion),
views committed before view fields across applications since a view
field belongs to the application owning its field. Idempotent and
retry-safe: engine-owned INDEX views are neither demoted nor
re-backfilled, and view creation and view-field creation are gated
independently, so a retry after a partial failure still backfills the
missing view fields of an already-committed view.

Both support `--dry-run` and invalidate the full flat-maps closure
(parents aggregate the re-owned identifiers, children resolve them as
universal foreign keys, and page-layout widget universal configurations
resolve view PKs at cache-build time).

The `2.25` `upgrade:2-25:add-message-campaign-name-field` command is
adapted to resolve the campaign INDEX view by its INDEX key on the
object instead of by universal identifier: it now runs before the
reconcile, on workspaces still holding legacy identifiers.

## ⚠️ Breaking change

This PR **mutates 187 previously hardcoded universal identifiers** — the
standard objects' INDEX views and their view fields (the literals
removed from `standard-object.constant.ts`), now derived.

- **Handled by the `2.26` commands above** for all existing workspaces.
- **The INDEX key is now engine-reserved.** The flat view validator
rejects caller-created INDEX views (API and manifest inputs are forced
`isSystemSideEffect: false`) and enforces a single non-deleted INDEX
view per object; `view.key` is no longer a comparable/updatable
property, so no writer can promote or demote a view after creation.
`ViewManifest.key` is deprecated and ignored (manifest views are always
additional views, so old apps keep syncing and demoted views are not
promoted back); the REST/GraphQL create path now rejects `key: INDEX`.
In-repo example apps (`hello-world`, `document-generator`) no longer
declare it.
- **12 declared-but-never-seeded standard INDEX view field identifiers
deleted** (the former `preservedViewFields` on `timelineActivity`,
`workflowRun` and `workspaceMember`): after the reconcile, no workspace
row references them.
- **`computeFlatViewFieldsToCreate` now derives view field identifiers**
instead of drawing `v4()` ones, which also changes what the committed
`1-23` record-page backfill produces going forward (deliberate,
documented in-code).
- **Record-page views and view fields are not affected** (identifiers
unchanged).
- **In-repo apps: `twenty-last-contact` updated.** It was the only app
declaring explicit INDEX view fields (10 columns across `allPeople` /
`allCompanies` / `allOpportunities`) through manifest `viewFields`.
Those target identifiers are now engine-owned and derived, so the
manifest inputs no longer resolve and install failed with `View not
found`. The app now declares only its fields; the engine's
`fieldIndexViewFieldOnCreate` provisions the matching INDEX view field
automatically. No other app under `packages/twenty-apps` references any
of the 187 mutated identifiers, and apps that target standard views
point at record-page views (e.g. `real-estate` →
`opportunityRecordPageFields`) or their own objects (`twenty-partners`),
all unchanged.

### Loss of granularity for app maintainers

The engine now owns the INDEX view field of every field a caller adds to
an object, so app maintainers lose direct control over those columns.
Previously an app could target the engine-owned INDEX view with an
explicit manifest `viewField` and set its `position` and `isVisible`.
Now `fieldIndexViewFieldOnCreate` appends a **hidden** view field in
caller-input order on field creation, so:

- Columns an app previously showed at a **dedicated position** and
**visible** (e.g. `twenty-last-contact`'s last-contact columns) become
**hidden** and **appended in input order** after install.
- There is currently **no manifest way to override** the
engine-provisioned INDEX view field's position, visibility, or size.

This is a deliberate regression accepted for the sake of
single-ownership, and app maintainers should expect their INDEX columns
to move/hide after upgrading. A follow-up override API will let
maintainers reclaim per-field control over the engine-provisioned INDEX
view field.

## Testing

- Unit specs for each handler: object create (system fields + INDEX
view/view fields, override, position offset), field create (same-batch
vs existing-object, non-displayable noop, no-INDEX-view noop), field
delete, object delete (fields/indexes/searchFieldMetadata/views/view
fields cascade, reverse-relation view field on another object).
- Engine-level test for the reserved-identifier collision.
- `twenty-standard` guard test that its INDEX views/view fields stay on
the derived scheme and stay system-owned.
- Integration test: full engine provisioning of the INDEX view/view
fields on object creation, same view id preserved across an object
rename, and cascade delete on object deletion.

## Follow-up

The full record-page stack (record-page view, its view fields, view
field groups, page layout / tab / widget) is still built imperatively
and moves into the engine in

Paul Rastoin 1be5a0e54a System side effect relations (#22882)
Closes twentyhq/core-team-issues#2667

## What

Default relations to the standard relation objects
(`timelineActivities`, `attachments`, `noteTargets`, `taskTargets`) are
now fully owned by the **metadata side-effect engine**. Neither the API
transpilers nor the SDK manifest builder provision them anymore: any
object creation, rename or deletion — regardless of the caller — goes
through the same engine handlers.

## Why

- Provisioning was duplicated across the API path and the SDK manifest
builder, with diverging behavior.
- Universal identifiers of relation fields were derived from object
**names**, so renaming an object mutated them and forced lossy
delete+create cycles on manifest sync.

## How

### Engine-owned lifecycle (side-effect handlers)

- `objectSystemRelationsOnCreate`: provisions the 8 forward/reverse
relation fields (+ join column indexes) when an object is created.
- `objectSystemRelationsOnUpdate`: renames the reverse morph fields
(`target<ObjectName>`) when their host object is renamed — a lossless
`fieldMetadata.update`.
- `objectSystemSideEffectsOnDelete`: cascades deletion of engine-owned
fields/indexes when the object is deleted.
- The API transpilers and the SDK `buildManifest` no longer inject these
fields; `isSystemSideEffect: true` marks engine-owned entities, guarded
by a granular property allowlist (only `isActive` is user-editable) and
excluded from manifest deletion inference.

### Name-free deterministic universal identifiers

New `getSystemRelationFieldUniversalIdentifier({
applicationUniversalIdentifier, objectUniversalIdentifier,
relationTargetObjectUniversalIdentifier })` in `twenty-shared`, exported
from `twenty-sdk/define`. The identifier is keyed on the two **object**
identifiers instead of field names (direction encoded by argument
order), so object renames never mutate relation field identifiers. It
cannot collide with the name-based `getFieldUniversalIdentifier`
derivation (field names cannot contain `:`).

### twenty-standard re-owned

All 48 forward/reverse system relation field declarations in
`STANDARD_OBJECTS` now pin the derived name-free identifiers (computed
inline via the shared util) and carry `isSystemSideEffect: true`, with
labels/icons declared explicitly (translated via `msg`).
`twenty-standard` is projected as if the engine had generated these
fields itself.

### 2.23 upgrade commands

- `reconcile-system-relation-field-universal-identifier`: structurally
matches existing default relation fields per workspace and backfills the
derived universal identifiers, `isSystemSideEffect` flags, and standard
labels/icons.
- `upgrade-people-data-labs-application`: upgrades installed PDL apps to
`1.0.7` right after the backfill to close the desync window (its views
reference the re-derived identifiers).

### Misc

- `people-data-labs` `1.0.7`: views temporarily pin the new derived
identifiers (TODO: import from the next released `twenty-sdk`).
- `UpgradeStatusModule` split out of `UpgradeModule` so the application
module cluster can consume upgrade status/migration services without
importing the versioned command bundles (fixes a require cycle that
crashed boot).
- Docs: `system-fields.mdx` documents the system relation fields and
their resolver; `sync-and-recovery.mdx` plan example no longer shows
auto-injected relations.

## Known red CI

`people-data-labs (dockerhub-latest)` fails by design until the 2.23
server image is published: the app pins the new identifiers which only
exist on a 2.23 server. The `local` leg (server built from this branch)
is green.

## System fields are no longer manifest-authorable (accepted regression)

The manifest converter no longer derives `isSystem` /
`isSystemSideEffect` from field names. Reserved-system-named manifest
fields (`id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`,
`updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector`) are now skipped at conversion
time when they carry the exact derived universal identifier (keeps
manifests built with older SDKs installable), and rejected with
`INVALID_INPUT` when they pin any other identifier. System fields are
therefore fully engine-canonical: nothing a manifest carries can produce
a system-flagged entity anymore.

**Accepted regression**: a manifest can no longer influence system field
properties at all. Previously a (legacy) re-declaration could shape them
at creation — which actually produced broken system fields, e.g. a
nullable, non-unique `id` — and could still toggle the allowlisted
`isActive` / `universalSettings` afterwards. We consider this acceptable
for now: per-app granularity over system fields will be reintroduced
later through the **override framework**, which will also settle update
semantics by forbidding direct updates over `isSystemSideEffect: true`
entities and expressing divergence as overrides.

`isSystemSideEffect`-only entities (the default relation fields
provisioned by this PR) still have no engine-level update guard (see
Follow-up below); that part is unchanged and also lands with the
overrides refactor.

## Follow-up

`isSystemSideEffect` field update/delete guards intentionally live at
the API layer (`sanitize-raw-update-field-input.ts`,
`from-delete-field-input-...util.ts`) rather than in the engine-level
`FlatFieldMetadataValidatorService`. Moving them into the validator
requires threading operation-origin (direct field mutation vs engine
cascade) through the migration matrix, otherwise legitimate object
rename/delete cascades (which carry `isSystemBuild=false`) would be
rejected. Tracked in twentyhq/core-team-issues#2671.

Félix Malfait 5e27e04c0a Add mostly-empty field hints to data model settings (#22962)
## What

Fields that are empty in almost all records now show a subtle `Mostly
empty` hint next to their name in the object's Fields settings table
(same visual treatment as `Deactivated`), with a tooltip explaining the
signal and a matching **Mostly empty** toggle in the search filter
dropdown. The goal is to nudge admins to clean up and deactivate fields
nobody uses, while keeping the page untouched when the data model is
healthy.

## How

**No table scans.** Emptiness is read from Postgres planner statistics,
so the cost is a catalog lookup regardless of table size:

- `pg_class.reltuples` gates the feature on an approximate row count (≥
100 records; never-analyzed tables mean no hints). Reuses the shared
helper extracted from `ObjectRecordCountService`.
- `pg_stats.null_frac` plus the sampled frequency of the column type's
empty sentinel (`''` for text columns, `'{}'` for arrays, `'{}'`/`'[]'`
for json — matched per physical column type) gives a per-column empty
fraction. A value dominating ≥ 95% of a column is guaranteed to appear
in the most-common-values list, so the approximation is reliable exactly
at the threshold we care about.

**Decision rules** (pure util, unit-tested):

- Flag when every relevant column is ≥ 95% empty and the object has ≥
100 records.
- Skip system fields, the label identifier, relations, booleans, and
actor fields (exhaustive switch — a new `FieldMetadataType` fails to
compile until classified).
- Composite fields must have all their columns empty, with column sets
derived from `compositeTypeDefinitions`; only default-bearing code
columns (`currencyCode`, phone country/calling codes) are excluded so
stamped defaults don't mask emptiness.
- Anything unknown (missing stats, new column since last ANALYZE)
degrades to silence — no hint is ever shown on missing data.

**API:** one `mostlyEmptyFieldMetadataIds(objectMetadataId)` query on
the metadata schema, guarded by the `DATA_MODEL` settings permission,
fetched lazily when the fields page opens.

**UI:** exception-based — no new columns, no persistent controls. The
badge and the filter toggle only materialize when at least one field
qualifies, and disappear once things are cleaned up.

## Test

- Unit tests for the decision util (threshold,
system/label-identifier/inactive exclusion, missing statistics,
composite all-columns rule, links label/secondary data, currency
narrowing, excluded types).
- Catalog SQL validated against Postgres 16 with a table mimicking
Twenty's column shapes (text `''` defaults, enums, arrays, jsonb,
currency pairs), including the type-aware sentinel matching (a text
column full of literal `"{}"` strings does not count as empty).
- End-to-end on a seeded dev instance: 899 companies with a mix of
filled/empty fields — the API returned exactly the five fields predicted
by the raw statistics (`annualRevenue`, `employees`, `introVideo`,
`tagline`, `workPolicy`) and correctly excluded `address` (city 33%
filled), actor/system fields, and the label identifier.
- UI driven with Playwright: badge, tooltip copy, filter toggle, and
filtered table all verified visually.
- `lint:diff-with-main`, `typecheck` (server + front), and all three
`graphql:generate` configurations + SDK metadata client regenerated and
committed.

Abdul Rahman f4ff234db8 feat: make record avatar/icon resolution data-driven via a configurable image identifier field (#22644)
## Summary

Today the avatar/icon shown for a record is hardcoded per object —
Company pulls a favicon from its domain link, Person uses `avatarUrl`,
etc. This PR replaces that hardcoding with a generic, data-driven
abstraction based on a configurable **image identifier field** on each
object's metadata (mirroring the existing **label identifier** concept).

An object's image identifier can point to:
- a **`FILES`** field → the uploaded image is used directly (rounded
avatar), or
- a **`LINKS`** field → a favicon is derived from the primary URL via
the Twenty icons service (squared avatar), gated by
`ALLOW_REQUESTS_TO_TWENTY_ICONS`.

This lets any object type (Opportunity, a custom "Listing", etc.) define
its own avatar/icon without code changes, and makes the field
configurable/overridable for standard objects.


##  Open question: also allow `TEXT` → direct image URL?
Right now the image identifier is restricted to `FILES` (uploaded file)
and `LINKS` (favicon). We deliberately left out `TEXT` → **direct image
URL** (e.g. an imported/synced photo URL stored in a text field).
There's precedent for it — Person's avatar was originally a `TEXT`
`avatarUrl`, and WorkspaceMember still is — and it's unambiguous (a
`TEXT` field has no favicon-vs-image ambiguity, and selecting it as the
image identifier is itself the declaration of intent). It's a small,
clean extension:
- add `TEXT` to the allowed image-identifier types,
- add an explicit `TEXT → raw URL` case
- `getAvatarType`: `TEXT → rounded`.
Caveats: it relies on admin assertion that the text values are image
URLs (no data-level guarantee), and external image URLs load third-party
content in the browser (IP-leak/hotlinking, same as favicons — a
proxy/cache would be the more robust long-term answer).

###  Resolution
Decision: **we will not support `TEXT` as an image identifier.** Image
identifiers stay restricted to `FILES` and `LINKS`, and any other type
fails closed (returns no avatar) on both the frontend and backend.
Instead, the legacy items that still rely on a `TEXT` avatar — Person's
deprecated `avatarUrl` and WorkspaceMember's `avatarUrl` — will be
migrated to `FILE` fields in a follow-up PR. Until then, WorkspaceMember
remains an exception (its `avatarUrl` still resolves through the
existing CorePicture path), and legacy Person `avatarUrl` values that
haven't been migrated will show initials placeholders.

neo773 4cce9b1544 Fix integration test hang on unmocked requests + de-flake object metadata suite (#22758) 2026-07-10 14:27:25 +05:30
martmull d430e38a9a Fix shard 12 integration test failure: regenerate stale object metadata snapshot from #22594 (#22768)
# Context

Since #22594 merged (July 9, 16:59 CET), `server-integration-test (12)`
fails deterministically on every main-based branch. The failure is easy
to misread as flakiness because nx truncates the failed task's replayed
output before jest's `FAIL`/summary lines reach the CI log; the visible
`timelineActivity` FK-violation errors are pre-existing noise also
present in green runs.

Note: the flakiness PRs merged yesterday morning (#22699, #22701,
#22702) are not the cause. The failure window starts with #22594.

# Root cause

#22594 moved `searchVector` provisioning out of the
reserved-system-fields path into its own side-effect handler, registered
after `ObjectSystemFieldsOnCreateSideEffectHandlerService` in
`metadata-side-effect-handlers.module.ts`. The `searchVector` field
entry therefore now appears after `updatedAt`/`updatedBy` in the
create-object validation report. The snapshot for
`failing-create-one-object-metadata-v2.integration-spec.ts` was
rewritten in #22594 but kept the old `position -> searchVector ->
updatedAt` ordering, so 15 of the 19 tests fail on a snapshot mismatch.

Reproduced locally on latest main: 15/19 fail, diff is exactly the three
reordered name lines.

# Fix

Regenerated the snapshot with `jest -u` against a freshly reset
database. Suite is 19/19 green afterwards. The sibling snapshot suites
in the same directory (`failing-update-one-object-metadata`,
`failing-update-one-standard-object-metadata`,
`successful-update-one-standard-object-metadata`) were re-run and pass
unchanged.

Pure block move: only the `searchVector`/`updatedAt`/`updatedBy` name
lines relocate, 15 occurrences each (45+/45-), one file, no product
code.

# Related

- #22757 is an earlier draft with the same snapshot regeneration.
- #22758 fixes the same suite by replacing the snapshot with per-case
contract assertions (plus an msw catch-all). If that one merges first,
this PR becomes unnecessary.

Paul Rastoin 60fd322b49 Centralize system field side effects + search field metadata (#22594)
## Introduction

Closes twentyhq/core-team-issues#2635 and twentyhq/core-team-issues#2642
and twentyhq/core-team-issues#2589

Object system fields (`searchVector` + its GIN index +
`searchFieldMetadata`, the reserved system fields, default relations)
were provisioned through several scattered, path-specific code paths. As
a result the **app-manifest sync path** authored objects with an
empty/`NULL` `searchVector` and **zero `searchFieldMetadata`**, so
app-owned objects shipped a broken generated search column (see #22657).
The generation logic also lived partly in imperative services rather
than in the metadata side-effect engine, and relied on non-deterministic
(`v4`) universal identifiers that `twenty apply` could not converge,
destroying manually backfilled rows.

This PR centralizes every object-creation system side effect into the
**metadata side-effect engine**, extends the engine to keep search
metadata consistent on field delete and object relabel, makes the
standard app's search identifiers deterministic, and ships upgrade
commands to reconcile existing workspaces.

## What changed

### Side effects moved into the metadata side-effect engine

New dedicated, self-contained handlers — so every write path (API and
app manifest) gets identical results, and side effects never trigger
other side effects.

**Object create / delete** (`handlers/object-metadata`)

* **`objectSystemFieldsOnCreate`** — generates the 7 reserved system
fields (`id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`,
`updatedBy`, `position`).
* **`objectSearchVectorOnCreate`** — provisions the full-text search
surface as one unit: the `searchVector` `TS_VECTOR` field, its backing
GIN index, and the `searchFieldMetadata` row (for searchable objects
whose label identifier is a searchable field) that keeps `searchVector`
populated instead of `NULL`.
* **`objectSystemSideEffectsOnDelete`** — tears the above down on object
deletion.

**Search-metadata consistency on relabel / field delete** (new — these
are what close the manifest-path gaps)

* **`objectSearchVectorOnUpdate`** (`handlers/object-metadata`) — when a
searchable object is relabeled onto a new searchable field, provisions
the `searchFieldMetadata` row that indexes it. Relabeling is
**additive**: existing rows (e.g. the provisioned `name` row) are
preserved, so the previous label identifier stays searchable. Mirrors
the API update path so a manifest re-sync that changes the label
identifier reaches search parity. No-ops for junction objects (`id`
label identifier) and non-searchable field types.
* **`fieldSearchFieldMetadataOnDelete`** (`handlers/field-metadata`) —
when a field is deleted, cascade-deletes every `searchFieldMetadata` row
that indexes it. `searchFieldMetadata` is excluded from manifest
deletion inference, so this explicit cascade is what covers **both the
API and manifest paths** (the object-scoped DB cascade only fires on
object deletion). Uses the `searchFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifiers`
aggregator on the flat field for an O(k) lookup instead of scanning all
rows.

The **default `name` field and default relations are now caller-provided
default fields** (SDK autocomplete on the manifest path, input
transpiler on the API path) rather than system side effects — removing
duplicate name generation, the imperative
`build-default-*-for-custom-object` utilities, and the ad-hoc
system-field integrity validator.

### Deterministic identifiers for the standard app

The twenty-standard search GIN index and `searchFieldMetadata` now
derive deterministic universal identifiers
(`getIndexUniversalIdentifier` / `getSearchFieldUniversalIdentifier`)
instead of `v4`, so `twenty apply` converges instead of recreating.

### Upgrade commands (`2-20`) to reconcile existing workspaces

**Instance commands** (run once per instance; ordered fast → slow →
workspace):

1. **`AddIsSystemSideEffectToSearchFieldMetadata`** (fast) — adds the
`isSystemSideEffect` column to `core.searchFieldMetadata`. Defaults to
`true`, which also correctly backfills every existing row since
`searchFieldMetadata` is always system-derived (never user-authored).
2. **`BackfillNameFieldIsSystemSideEffect`** (slow) — re-flags existing
`name` fields from `isSystemSideEffect: true` → `false`, since the
default `name` field is now a caller-provided default like any other
user-owned field (it was provisioned as `true` in 2.15 → 2.19). This is
a pure data backfill, so the bulk `UPDATE` lives in `runDataMigration()`
rather than `up()` — keeping it out of the fast schema transaction
avoids holding an `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` lock that could stall reads during
the deploy. Slow instance commands still run before every workspace
command of the version, so the fresh value is in place before the
search-reconcile workspace commands recompute the `fieldMetadata`
flat-entity cache. Scoping by name alone is safe (no engine-owned field
is named `name`); `down()` is best-effort (pre-2.15 `false` rows are
indistinguishable from flipped ones).

**Workspace commands** (idempotent, dry-run supported):

1. **`reconcile-search-vector-gin-index-universal-identifier`** —
re-owns every searchVector GIN index UID to its deterministic value (all
applications), then backfills the missing GIN index for installed-app
objects.
2. **`reconcile-search-field-metadata`** — re-owns every
`searchFieldMetadata` UID (all applications), then backfills the missing
rows for installed-app searchable objects.
3. **`rebuild-installed-app-search-vectors`** — rebuilds the
`searchVector` column of every installed-app `TS_VECTOR` field, once the
index and rows exist.

Design notes:

* **Re-own is global** (twenty-standard, workspace-custom, installed) —
a UID convergence keyed on each row's own application.
* **Backfill is installed-app only** — standard/custom objects already
have these rows via the manifest funnel.
* Re-own runs **before** backfill and is transaction-guarded; a failure
aborts that workspace to avoid a unique-identifier collision.

## Tests

* Integration: app manifest sync now asserts system fields + searchable
objects (searchVector, GIN index, searchFieldMetadata) are created; a
new relabel suite drives three manifest syncs and asserts records stay
searchable through the old + new label identifiers and lose
searchability when a field is removed; removed the obsolete
system-fields-integrity suite/snapshots.
* Unit: per-handler side-effect specs (including the new
`objectSearchVectorOnUpdate` and `fieldSearchFieldMetadataOnDelete`
handlers), and per-util specs for the re-own / backfill operation
builders and the GIN-index classifier.

## Upgrade / migration notes

* Existing workspaces converge on the next upgrade run via the `2-20`
instance + workspace commands (idempotent, dry-run supported).
* Backfill and rebuild go through the workspace-migration runner
(automatic cache invalidation); the re-own step invalidates only the
affected flat-entity maps directly.
* The cross-version upgrade CI now flushes the cache before running the
upgrade, so the new version recomputes every flat-entity map from the
database instead of reading blobs the old version serialized in an older
shape.

## Follow-up

* `object-metadata.service.ts` still carries a `TODO: remove once
default view fields move to the metadata side effect engine` — default
view fields are the next candidate to move into the engine.
* A single manifest sync cannot yet both create a field and relabel the
object onto it, because `objectMetadata.update` is ordered before
`fieldMetadata.create` in the migration runner. Tracked in
twentyhq/core-team-issues#2655; to be fixed in a follow-up.

Paul Rastoin 6c40c7b91a Deterministic system field universal identifier (#22565)
# Introduction

Close twentyhq/core-team-issues#2641

Auto-provisioned field metadata used to get its `universalIdentifier`
from three unrelated sources: random `v4()` on the server when creating
custom objects, hardcoded values in `STANDARD_OBJECTS`, and an ad-hoc
`v5` derivation in the SDK manifest build. This PR unifies all of them
behind the shared `getFieldUniversalIdentifier` derivation:

```
universalIdentifier = f(applicationUniversalIdentifier, objectUniversalIdentifier, fieldName)
```

## Ownership model

The rollout is built on an explicit split of who owns a field's
universal identifier:

- **The 8 system fields** (`id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`,
`createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector`) are
**server-owned**. Their universal identifiers are always the
deterministic derivation, on **every** application (standard,
workspace-custom, installed). Clients cannot provide custom values: a
temporary check in `validateObjectMetadataSystemFieldsIntegrity` rejects
any non-derived system field identifier at migration build time. This
check stands in until system fields are generated exclusively server
side by the metadata side-effect engine and stripped from client inputs
— at which point it becomes structurally impossible to send one.
- **`name` is a default field, not a system field**: it is
auto-provisioned when absent (server side for custom objects, SDK side
for application objects) but authors can define their own. It is only
derived where it is guaranteed to be auto-provisioned. In particular,
standard objects keep their **historical hardcoded** `name` identifiers:
the standard app authors its `name` fields like any installed app would,
and moving those identifiers would break every installed application
referencing them (e.g. views on `opportunity.name`).
- **User-created and author-provided fields** keep random / explicit
identifiers, untouched.

## Server

- `validateObjectMetadataSystemFieldsIntegrity` now validates, on top of
the existing type/`isSystem` checks, that each system field's
`universalIdentifier` equals the deterministic derivation. Runs for
every object creation going through the migration orchestrator: app
sync, custom object creation, standard provisioning
- `build-default-flat-field-metadatas-for-custom-object.util.ts` derives
the system field identifiers (and the auto-provisioned `name`) with
`getFieldUniversalIdentifier` instead of `v4()`
-
`build-default-relation-flat-field-metadatas-for-custom-object.util.ts`
derives both the forward and the reverse default relation field
identifiers deterministically
- `generateMorphOrRelationFlatFieldMetadataPair` accepts optional
`sourceFieldUniversalIdentifier` / `targetFieldUniversalIdentifier` so
callers can inject deterministic values; user-created relations still
default to `v4()`

## twenty-shared

- `STANDARD_OBJECTS` system field identifiers (the 8) are now computed
at module load via `buildStandardObjectSystemFields`; `name` and every
other identifier keep their hardcoded values
- New snapshot test pinning **every** universal identifier of
`STANDARD_OBJECTS`: any identifier change now requires an explicit
snapshot update and should ship with a coordinated backfill

## SDK (breaking, pre-GA)

- `generateDefaultFieldUniversalIdentifier` delegates to
`getFieldUniversalIdentifier` and now requires
`applicationUniversalIdentifier`
- Reverse default relation field identifiers are derived from the
field's real coordinates (standard object UID + actual field name, e.g.
`targetRocket` on `attachment`) instead of the legacy custom-object UID
+ synthetic `${fieldName}Inverse` hash input. Field *names* are
unchanged
- The manifest build threads the application universal identifier
through default field injection (two-pass over object configs)
- `twenty dev:add` now resolves the application universal identifier
upfront and refuses to scaffold anything until `defineApplication`
declares one — no more `fill-later` placeholder for the app UID in
generated files

## Upgrade

A 2.19 **workspace command** backfills existing
`fieldMetadata.universalIdentifier` rows to the deterministic
derivation. Coverage follows the ownership model:

- **The 8 system fields**: taken over for **every application**,
whatever value they currently hold. This is both safe and required now
that sync rejects non-derived values — leaving a row unconverged would
make its application unsyncable
- **`name`**: workspace-custom app → always taken over
(server-generated, no author to clobber); installed applications → only
rows still carrying the legacy SDK derivation are recomputed,
author-provided identifiers are never touched; standard app → never
touched (hardcoded in `STANDARD_OBJECTS`)
- **Default relation fields**: workspace-custom app → forward fields on
custom objects and reverse fields on the standard relation objects;
installed applications → legacy-derivation probe only

All identifiers of a workspace are updated inside a single transaction,
then the command flushes the field-metadata-related workspace caches and
bumps the metadata version.

Stored `applicationRegistration.manifest` snapshots are intentionally
**not** rewritten: installs and upgrades always sync from the
`manifest.json` inside the resolved package (npm/tarball), the stored
column is only used for display/marketplace purposes.

## Breaking behavior for old packages (fail closed)

Packages built with an older SDK carry legacy system field identifiers
in their tarball `manifest.json`. Installing or upgrading such a package
now fails with an explicit `INVALID_SYSTEM_FIELD` validation error
("universal identifier is not deterministic") instead of silently
mismatching against the backfilled rows and triggering a destructive
delete+create. The remediation is to rebuild the package with the new
SDK; the backfill has already converged the installed rows, so the
rebuilt manifest syncs cleanly.

## Test plan

- [x] `twenty-sdk` unit tests (526 tests) and typecheck
- [x] `twenty-shared` unit tests (1635 tests) including the
`STANDARD_OBJECTS` snapshot; `name` identifiers verified byte-for-byte
identical to `main`
- [x] Lint and typecheck clean on all touched packages
- [x] Integration: create a custom object and verify system + default
relation field identifiers match the deterministic derivation
(`create-one-object-metadata-deterministic-field-universal-identifiers`,
13 assertions passing)
- [x] Integration: `failing-sync-application-object-system-fields`
extended with a non-derived system field identifier case; all
identifiers in the spec pinned deterministically so snapshots embedding
expected/actual values are stable across runs (verified with a double
run)
- [x] Integration: all application sync suites pass with the derived
system field identifiers now required by the
`buildDefaultObjectManifest` test helper (9 suites, 20 tests)
- [x] Full test-database reset: standard app provisioning and seeded
workspaces pass the new validation
- [x] SDK manifest build verified on the postcard example app: all
auto-generated default field identifiers match the derivation
- [ ] Run
`upgrade:2-19:backfill-deterministic-field-universal-identifiers`
(dry-run then real) on a seeded workspace and verify identifier
convergence with a rebuilt app manifest

Félix Malfait 5a4ebca226 refactor(server): unify the two metadata override mechanisms into one (#22417)
## Unify the two metadata override mechanisms into one

Twenty had **two** override mechanisms:

- **`standardOverrides`** — a bespoke JSONB column on
`objectMetadata`/`fieldMetadata` with typed DTOs and a per-locale
`translations` map, resolved by two i18n-aware resolvers.
- **`OverridableEntity.overrides`** — a flat, registry-driven JSONB blob
on view / view-field / view-field-group / command-menu-item /
page-layout-tab / page-layout-widget, resolved by a plain spread.

This PR collapses them into **one** concept: a single `overrides` blob,
one registry-driven overridable set, one i18n-aware read path, and one
write path (`computeMetadataOverridesBlob`, extracted in #22404).

Object/field **stay on `SyncableEntity`** (not reparented to
`OverridableEntity`) so their `isActive` default stays **FALSE** — this
sidesteps the `isActive` default conflict entirely.

### GraphQL breaking change (accepted)

The `standardOverrides` field is **removed** with no deprecation alias —
`overrides` (a `JSON` scalar) is exposed instead on `Object` and
`Field`. Product confirmed negligible external usage; the front-end has
no hand-written consumer (only generated types), which are regenerated
here.

### Commit structure (reviewable commit-by-commit)

1. **Unified resolver + parity harness** —
`resolveEffectiveEntityProperty` is a strict superset of the three
legacy resolvers; a corpus parity spec compares it against a *frozen
reference* of the old logic across every locale, `isStandardApp` branch
and override shape.
2. **Registry-driven** — object/field presentation props tagged
`isOverridable` + `translatable`; the overridable/translatable sets are
derived from the registry (a test asserts they equal the legacy
hardcoded lists).
3. **Rename + swap + delete** — `standardOverrides` → `overrides` across
entities, DTOs, flat/universal types, producers, the ~12
resolve/write/create/sync call sites, mocks and specs; the reconciler's
two compare entries collapse to one; the three legacy resolvers, both
DTOs and the hardcoded constants/types are deleted.
4. **Migration (zero-downtime, two-phase)** — split across two releases
so a rolling deploy never drops a column a previous-release pod still
`SELECT`s:
   - **2.19 fast** — add the `overrides` column (schema only).
- **2.19 slow** — backfill `overrides` from `standardOverrides` in
`runDataMigration` (kept out of the schema transaction so the bulk write
doesn't hold the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock; skipped on fresh installs, which
have no data to copy).
- **2.20 fast** — drop the legacy `standardOverrides` column (gated by
`TWENTY_NEXT_VERSIONS`, so it stays dormant until the instance reaches
2.20).
5. **Front/client-SDK regen** — regenerated metadata GraphQL types.
6. **Integration specs + i18n** — updated the standard object/field
update integration specs + snapshots, and the reworded validator message
catalog entry.

### Rolling-deploy safety

`standardOverrides` is retained through 2.19 and only dropped in 2.20,
mirroring the codebase's deferred-drop convention
(`isUIReadOnly`/`isCustom`). During the 2.19 rollout both columns exist,
so old and new pods coexist without "column does not exist" errors. The
backfill lives in a slow `runDataMigration` (per the
`no-data-mutation-in-fast-instance-command` rule) so it doesn't stall
reads.

### `isActive` guard

The migration never reads or writes `isActive`; the backfill asserts the
active-row count is unchanged and aborts otherwise. Verified on a real
DB: apply + revert preserves the blob **and** the nested `translations`
map, with `isActive` counts identical before/after.

### Verification (local)

- `nx typecheck twenty-server` + `nx typecheck twenty-front` — green
- `nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` (oxlint `--type-aware` + oxfmt)
— green
- `nx test twenty-server` — green (unit + parity + registry + migration
tests)
- `nx run twenty-server:test:integration:with-db-reset` — green
- `database:reset` applies the 2.19 phases and leaves **both** columns
present (2.20 drop stays dormant); backfill + revert round-trip verified
on a real DB
- Metadata integration suites (standard object/field update, application
sync) pass end-to-end against the two-column schema
- Metadata GraphQL types regenerated against a booted server; zero
`standardOverrides` references remain in application code (only the
migration commands + the legacy schema baseline)

Paul Rastoin b0d7516951 Deprecate asExpression from field metadata search_vector (#22287)
## Summary

Fully deprecates the cached `asExpression` / `generatedType` settings on
`TS_VECTOR` (searchVector) fields. Previously the generated-column
expression was stored in `FieldMetadataSettings` and kept in sync via
imperative recompute side-effects. It is now **derived at DDL time**
from the `searchFieldMetadata` rows that describe which fields feed the
search vector, making `searchFieldMetadata` the single source of truth
and removing a whole class of cache-drift bugs.

This is delivered across the milestones tracked in #2587 and coordinates
with the frontend migration (#1428).

## Why

- The searchVector expression lived in two places (stored
`settings.asExpression` + the actual generated column), kept consistent
by bespoke side-effects (`recompute-search-vector-on-field-rename`,
label-identifier recompute, etc.).
- The frontend reconstructed the searchable-fields list by
**regex-parsing** the stored `asExpression`.
- Both are brittle. Deriving the expression from `searchFieldMetadata`
rows at build/run time removes the cache and the parsing.

## What changed

### Server - data model & derivation
- Introduce the `tsVectorFieldMetadata` relation on
`searchFieldMetadata` (`tsVectorFieldMetadataId` / universal identifier)
linking each searchable-field row to its target `TS_VECTOR` field.
- New runtime derivation
`deriveSearchVectorAsExpressionForTsVectorField`
(`flat-search-field-metadata/utils/...`) used by the create-object and
update-field handlers to generate the column expression from
`searchFieldMetadata` rows.
- Remove `asExpression` / `generatedType` from stored settings:
`FieldMetadataSettings.TS_VECTOR` is now `null`; the column builder
(`generate-column-definitions.util.ts`) hardcodes `generatedType:
'STORED'` and requires the derived expression.
- Delete the imperative recompute side-effects and the
`compute-search-vector-universal-settings-from-object-manifest` path;
drop the `settings` block from all 28 standard
`compute-*-standard-flat-field-metadata` utils.

### Server - migration runner
- New `rebuildSearchVector` marker on `update-field` actions: the
orchestrator synthesizes targeted column rebuilds
(`compute-search-vector-rebuild-target-universal-identifiers.util.ts` +
the deprioritize aggregator) only when a searchFieldMetadata change or
indexed-field rename actually requires it - instead of rebuilding on
every settings touch.
- Deferrable FKs + in-flight ID resolution so a `searchFieldMetadata`
row and its `TS_VECTOR` field can be created in the same transaction
(deterministic UUIDs).

### Frontend (contract change, #1428)
- New `SearchFieldMetadataDTO` + dataloader exposing
`searchFieldMetadataList` on object metadata.
- `SettingsObjectSearchSection` now reads
`objectMetadataItem.searchFieldMetadatas` instead of parsing
`asExpression`; new `SearchFieldMetadataItem` type, fragment, and
mapping updates.

### Upgrade commands (2.18)
-
`2-18-instance-command-fast-...-add-ts-vector-field-metadata-id-to-search-field-metadata`
-
`2-18-instance-command-fast-...-make-search-field-metadata-fks-deferrable`
-
`2-18-instance-command-slow-...-backfill-ts-vector-field-metadata-id-on-search-field-metadata`

(These were relocated from 2.16 to 2.18 and re-timestamped into an
ordered block - add column -> make FK deferrable -> backfill data -
since 2.16/2.17 are released.)

### Tests
- Updated search-vector side-effect integration specs to assert behavior
(search works) rather than the now-removed `asExpression`; removed the
obsolete expression-validation specs; refreshed the application-sync
snapshot (`universalSettings: null`).

## Upgrade / compatibility notes
- Existing workspaces keep their stored `settings` until a later
cleanup; nothing reads it anymore. The new derivation drives all DDL
going forward.
- Schema changes are gated behind the 2.18 instance commands above.

## Known follow-up (separate PR)
https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2620
- The column rebuild (`DROP`/`ADD` of the `searchVector` STORED column)
cascade-drops its GIN index and does not recreate it - a pre-existing
regression on `main` inherited here. A follow-up PR will fix the rebuild
handler to recreate the GIN index and add a 2.18 workspace command to
recompute every search vector + strip the deprecated settings.
(Planned.)

## Test plan
- [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` / `twenty-front`
- [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` / `twenty-front`
- [ ] Server integration: create/update/delete field, rename indexed
field, update object - search returns expected records
- [ ] Run the 2.18 instance commands on a seeded DB; verify
`tsVectorFieldMetadataId` backfilled and FKs deferrable
- [ ] Frontend: object Search settings tab lists the correct searchable
fields (no `asExpression` parsing)

Paul Rastoin e9d5d71cd3 Wire up search field metadata (#21964)
## Part 1 - Exact scope of the current PR (#21964)

close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2586

This PR introduces `searchFieldMetadata` as a first-class flat metadata
entity and migrates the existing search surface onto it, with **no
change to which records are searchable** (ISO with `main`).

In scope (what the PR does):
- New flat entity `searchFieldMetadata` (universalIdentifier,
applicationId, **`position`**, maps, conversions), registered in the
central flat-entity constants and the migration build orchestrator.
- `searchVector.asExpression` is **derived server-side** from
`searchFieldMetadata` rows (validated by `isSafeTsVectorExpression`);
never trusted from client input.
- **Derivation order is deterministic, driven by each row's `position`**
([compute-search-vector-as-expression-from-search-field-metadatas.util.ts](packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-search-field-metadata/utils/compute-search-vector-as-expression-from-search-field-metadatas.util.ts)),
replacing the previous non-deterministic `(createdAt, id)` sort. That
sort collapsed to random UUIDs for standard fields (same `createdAt`),
so any rename/relabel rewrote the `STORED` generated column to a
logically-identical-but-textually-different expression and produced a
permanent per-workspace diff vs the standard definition. Ordering now
equals provisioning order; ties break on `universalIdentifier`.
- Provisioning at object creation mirrors the existing surface exactly
**and seeds `position`**:
- custom objects -> the `name` field only, at `position: 0`
([build-default-search-field-metadatas-for-custom-object.util.ts](packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/object-metadata/utils/build-default-search-field-metadatas-for-custom-object.util.ts))
- standard objects -> their curated `SEARCH_FIELDS_FOR_*` sets,
`position` = the curated index
- Backfill (instance + workspace commands in `2-16`) provisions rows for
existing workspaces with the same surface **and the same positions**
(standard from the curated standard maps, custom `name` = `0`), scoped
to the workspace's own custom application
([build-search-field-metadata-backfill-operations.util.ts](packages/twenty-server/src/database/commands/upgrade-version-command/2-16/utils/build-search-field-metadata-backfill-operations.util.ts)).
The `position` column is added in the same `2-16` fast instance command
as `universalIdentifier`/`applicationId`.
- Field rename of an already-indexed field recomputes `asExpression`
(positions preserved, so order is stable)
([recompute-search-vector-on-field-rename.util.ts](packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-field-metadata/utils/recompute-search-vector-on-field-rename.util.ts)).
- Field delete drops the matching row(s) and recomputes; remaining rows
keep their relative order (no renumber)
([from-delete-field-input-to-flat-field-metadatas-to-delete.util.ts](packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-field-metadata/utils/from-delete-field-input-to-flat-field-metadatas-to-delete.util.ts)).
- Object relabel is **additive** and ISO/regression-fix only: it indexes
the new label identifier **appended last (`position = max(existing) +
1`)** without dropping `name`
([recompute-search-vector-on-label-identifier-update.util.ts](packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-object-metadata/utils/recompute-search-vector-on-label-identifier-update.util.ts)).
This is a deliberate, temporary bridge.

Explicitly OUT of scope (deferred):
- No API to edit `searchFieldMetadata` (no user-facing search-field
configuration, including `position` — it is internal and only written by
provisioning/backfill/recompute).
- No auto-indexing of arbitrary searchable fields. Creating a custom
TEXT/EMAILS/etc. field does NOT add it to search (the
`computeSearchFieldMetadataCreationForFields` behavior was removed in
`e6820ad`).
- No field-type-transition handling (field type is immutable - not in
`FLAT_FIELD_METADATA_EDITABLE_PROPERTIES`, so that path was dead code).
- No `position` validation (uniqueness/range) and no multi-vector /
per-field `weight` config — deferred to the configurable-search
follow-up (#1428).

Net: `searchFieldMetadata` becomes the source of truth for the *same*
surface as `main`. The only intentional divergences from `main` are
"relabel preserves `name`" (additive) and the deterministic
`position`-ordered `asExpression` (a correctness/perf fix that is
byte-identical to provisioning order, so it does not change the
searchable surface).

Weiko 9f30915f6f fix(metadata): remove deprecated isCustom from Objects and Fields (#21799)
## Context

Follow-up to #21228, which deprecated `isCustom` on object/field
metadata but kept it exposed because the frontend still relied on it.
This removes it from the GraphQL API and the frontend entirely.

## Implementation

### Server
- Remove `isCustom` `@Field` from the `Object`, `Field`, and
`MinimalObjectMetadata` GraphQL types
- Remove the `isCustom` `@ResolveField` resolvers and the
`isCustomLoader` dataloader (+ payload/interface)
- Remove `isCustom` as an internal `@HideField()` on the Object/Field
DTOs used by the i18n standard-override gate > Use an explicit
isStandard instead (which is the correct gating)

### Frontend
- Add `getIsMetadataItemCustom` helper + `useGetIsMetadataItemCustom`
hook: an item is custom when `applicationId ===
currentWorkspace.workspaceCustomApplication.id`
- Migrate all consumers off `objectMetadataItem.isCustom` /
`fieldMetadataItem.isCustom`; `isRecordFieldReadOnly` now takes a
precomputed `isFieldCustom`
- Drop `isCustom` from the metadata fragment/mutations/minimal query, FE
types, zod schemas, and mock generators; regenerate GraphQL types

## Notes
- Breaking change on the (already-deprecated) `Object.isCustom` /
`Field.isCustom` GraphQL fields and the `isCustom` filter
- FE semantic is "belongs to the workspace custom app" (third-party-app
objects/fields are treated as non-custom)
- `isCustom` on IndexMetadata / View / Skill / Agent is a separate
column and is untouched
- Breaking changes on REST metadata API

Weiko 3ee93b5ec9 feat(server): add isSystemSideEffect & merge createOneObject/createOneField side-effect migrations (#21673)
## Context

When an object is created via the metadata API, `createOneObject`
creates its side-effect entities (INDEX view + viewFields, indexes,
navigation menu item, "go to" command menu item, record-page fields
view, page layout/tabs/widgets) across **three separate
`validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` calls**, purely because the
protection behavior (mutations → overrides, delete → deactivate, reset →
reactivate) was keyed on *"owned by the standard app"*, forcing the side
effects into batches with different application owners. This
misrepresents ownership and breaks atomicity.

This PR separates two orthogonal concepts:

- **Ownership** (`applicationId`), the true owner: the caller's
application (the workspace custom app today, 3rd-party apps later).
- **Protection** (`isSystemSideEffect`), the row was generated by the
system, so user mutations route to overrides, deletion becomes
deactivation, and reset restores defaults.

Once side effects are re-owned to the caller, the old `applicationId ===
standardApp` check can no longer tell an original side-effect row from a
user-added one so a dedicated `isSystemSideEffect` flag carries the
protection instead.

This is **PR 1 of 2** (forward-only). It makes newly created objects and
fields correct; existing workspaces are handled by a follow-up backfill
(see *Out of scope*).

## What this PR does

- **`isSystemSideEffect` column** on the 8 affected entities (`view`,
`viewField`, `indexMetadata`, `commandMenuItem`, `pageLayout`,
`pageLayoutTab`, `pageLayoutWidget`, `fieldMetadata`), with
`@WasIntroducedInUpgrade` + an entry in the flat-entity property
configuration (`toCompare: true`, read-only).
- **Single atomic migration in `createOneObject`**: the three
`validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` calls are merged into one, owned
by the caller (`resolvedOwnerFlatApplication`) and the record-page
view/fields, page layout, and navigation command item are re-owned to
the caller and flagged `isSystemSideEffect: true`.
`buildNavigationFlatCommandMenuItem` is parameterized with
`applicationUniversalIdentifier` (no longer hardcoded to the standard
app).
- **Field-creation side effects** (`createManyFields`/`createOneField`
already run as a single caller-owned migration, so no re-ownership/merge
was needed): the auto-created viewField is flagged `isSystemSideEffect:
true`, and a new field now also propagates to the object's **INDEX/table
view** (added there as a **hidden** column, `isVisible: false`) in
addition to
the record-page FIELDS widget. The INDEX view is targeted directly by
`key = INDEX` (it is not a page-layout widget), de-duplicated per
`(viewId, fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier)` to respect the per-view
unique index.
The unique-field index is likewise flagged the inverse relation field
stays unflagged (`isSystem: false`).
- **Protection predicate** extended: `isCallerOverridingEntity` and the
removal/reset split strategies now treat `isSystemSideEffect` rows as
protected even when caller-owned (route to
overrides / deactivate / reset) and the page-layout-reset guards allow
resetting flagged entities.
- **Standard compute maps** set the flag consistently so a re-sync
produces no diff (standard-object side effects stay `false`; per-object
nav command items and custom-object base fields are `true`).
- **Read-only GraphQL exposure** of `isSystemSideEffect` on the view /
view-field / page-layout / tab / widget / command-menu-item DTOs (not
exposed on create/update inputs). => Todo: needs to take this new flag
into account. This is fine for now because isSystem remains on
object/field.
- **Fast instance command** (`2-14`) adding the 8 columns (`NOT NULL
DEFAULT false`).

## Scope decisions

- **`pageLayout` is not an `OverridableEntity`**, its own row has
nothing user-overridable (all customization lives on tabs/widgets). It's
dual-purpose (`RECORD_PAGE` side-effect vs. user `DASHBOARD`), so it
gets `isSystemSideEffect` for protection only, no `overrides` jsonb.
- **`navigationMenuItem` is out of scope.**: Those are side effects only
for the metadata API and not marked as "system" (they can be
deleted/updated etc...)
- **`viewFieldGroup` is not a side effect**, it's only created via the
explicit view-field-group API, never by object/field creation, so it
gets no flag.

## Out of scope (follow-ups)

**PR 2** — slow per-workspace backfill (re-own + flag existing side
effects, recreate missing ones) and deterministic v5 identifiers for
base fields / pageLayout / tab.

Weiko f63f053444 CommandMenuItem overridable entity (#21486)
## Context
Second PR of the overridable-entities track (after #21436 for views):
command menu items become overridable so that edits on non-owned items
are stored as overrides instead of mutating the row, and
deletion/deactivation becomes reversible.

 ## What this does

- `CommandMenuItemEntity` now extends
`OverridableEntity<CommandMenuItemOverrides>` (adds `isActive` +
`overrides`). All editable properties are overridable for now (to
discuss).
- **Update**: mutations on a command item not owned by the caller
(standard items) are written into `overrides`; reads merge them in the
DTO. The command palette edit mode (pin,
reorder, shortLabel) now preserves standard values, "Reset label to
default" gains true post-save semantics.
- **Delete**: protected items are deactivated (`isActive = false`)
instead of deleted; custom items still hard-delete.
- **Object deactivate/enable toggle**: now flips `isActive` on the
command item (merged into the main migration call) instead of
delete/recreate; a create-if-missing fallback covers legacy deactivated
objects.
- **Front**: inactive command items are filtered out of the palette
selector.

Weiko 9c66975520 isCustom deprecation for Objects and Fields (#21228)
## Context

`isCustom` was a legacy denormalized boolean on `ObjectMetadataEntity`
and `FieldMetadataEntity`.
Now that every metadata row carries `applicationId` (via
`SyncableEntity`), "is this custom" is fully derivable, and the stored
boolean was a redundant second source of truth that could drift.

The real meaning of `isCustom` is **"the owning application is not the
twenty-standard application"** — i.e. `!belongsToTwentyStandardApp`.
Note this is *not* "belongs to the workspace custom app" as I initially
thought: third-party-application
objects/fields are custom too. 
The standard application has a globally stable `universalIdentifier`, so
the value derives with no per-workspace lookup.

## Changed
## `isCustom` checks — before → after

`isCustom` is no longer a stored column. The table below lists every
site that branched on it and how it resolves now. The unifying rule:
`isCustom ≡
!isTwentyStandardApplicationUniversalIdentifier(applicationUniversalIdentifier)`.

Félix Malfait 084fa8eaba fix(server): auto-index target<X>Id join columns on polymorphic standard objects (#20820)
Closes #20726

## The bug

`timelineActivity` (and the three other polymorphic standard objects —
`attachment`, `noteTarget`, `taskTarget`) store relations as N nullable
`target<X>Id` columns, one per related object. Each one is a join key
queried as `WHERE target<X>Id IN (...) AND deletedAt IS NULL`.

For **built-in** related objects (Person, Company, Opportunity, …), each
`target<X>Id` column gets a BTREE index, declared statically in
`compute-{timelineActivity,attachment,noteTarget,taskTarget}-standard-flat-index-metadata.util.ts`.

For **custom** related objects, the same `target<CustomObject>Id` column
was added — **without an index**. On a `timelineActivity` table at
issue-reporter scale (~21.9M rows, 7.1 GB), this turned record loads
into 20–40s sequential scans and produced `QueryFailedError: Query read
timeout` for end users.

## Diagnosis

The morph/relation field generator
(`generateMorphOrRelationFlatFieldMetadataPair`) already creates a BTREE
index for the field that owns the join column and returns it alongside
the field metadata pair. The two user-driven entry points
(`fromRelationCreateFieldInput…`, `fromMorphRelationCreateFieldInput…`)
correctly destructure and propagate that index.

But the **custom-object creation path** —
`buildDefaultRelationFlatFieldMetadatasForCustomObject`, called when a
user creates a new custom object — destructured only `{
flatFieldMetadatas }` and threw away `indexMetadatas`. So every
`target<CustomObject>Id` column added to the four polymorphic standard
objects has been shipping unindexed since custom morph relations went
in.

## The fix

Three commits.

### 1. `fix(server): index target<CustomObject>Id columns on standard
polymorphic objects`

13 lines across 2 files.

-
`build-default-relation-flat-field-metadatas-for-custom-object.util.ts`
— also destructure `indexMetadatas` from the pair generator and
accumulate them into the returned record (new field
`standardTargetFlatIndexMetadatas`).
-
`from-create-object-input-to-flat-object-metadata-and-flat-field-metadatas-to-create.util.ts`
— append the accumulated indexes to `flatIndexMetadataToCreate`. The
migration pipeline at `object-metadata.service.ts:559–562` already
passes `flatIndexMetadataToCreate` to the migration runner, so no
further wiring is needed.

From now on, creating a custom object also creates the four BTREE
indexes — one per polymorphic standard object's new
`target<CustomObject>Id` column — atomically with the rest of the
migration.

### 2. `feat(server): backfill workspace command for relation join
column indexes`

For existing workspaces whose custom objects were created before the
forward-fix.

`upgrade:2-8:backfill-relation-join-column-indexes` is a
`@RegisteredWorkspaceCommand('2.8.0', 1798100000000)` matching the
pattern from
`2-7-workspace-command-…-drop-connected-account-standard-object.command.ts`.

Per workspace:
1. Load `flatObjectMetadataMaps`, `flatFieldMetadataMaps`,
`flatIndexMaps` from the workspace cache.
2. Resolve the four polymorphic standard object IDs by `nameSingular`
against `DEFAULT_RELATIONS_OBJECTS_STANDARD_IDS`.
3. Collect every field ID that's already covered by any existing index.
4. Filter `flatFieldMetadataMaps` to MORPH_RELATION fields on those four
objects whose `settings.relationType === MANY_TO_ONE` (i.e. owns a join
column) and whose ID isn't in the indexed set.
5. Generate a BTREE `UniversalFlatIndexMetadata` for each via
`generateIndexForFlatFieldMetadata` (same helper the forward-fix uses).
6. Create the indexes in the workspace schema with **CONCURRENTLY** (see
commit 3).
7. Submit the metadata through
`WorkspaceMigrationValidateBuildAndRunService` so it lands in
`indexMetadata` and the cache — same pipeline as a normal metadata
change. The pipeline's own `CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS` no-ops because
the index already exists.

Properties:
- **Idempotent.** Re-running is a no-op once indexes exist.
- **Scoped.** Only the four polymorphic standard objects, only their
MANY_TO_ONE morph relation fields, only those with no covering index.
- **Same code path as the forward-fix.** The backfill produces exactly
the indexes the forward-fix would have created at custom-object creation
time.
- **`--dry-run` supported** via the base
`ActiveOrSuspendedWorkspaceCommandRunner`.

### 3. `feat(server): create index CONCURRENTLY in relation join column
backfill`

Adds an opt-in `concurrently` flag to
`WorkspaceSchemaIndexManagerService.createIndex` (threaded through
`createIndexInWorkspaceSchema`). When `true`, emits `CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS …`. Defaults to `false` — every existing
caller keeps the current transactional `CREATE INDEX` behavior.

The backfill command opts in. It creates a QueryRunner **without**
`startTransaction()`, issues the CONCURRENTLY indexes one-by-one (each
waits for the previous to finish), then submits the metadata through the
normal migration pipeline whose own `CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS` is now
a no-op.

Why not flip the default for the helper:
- `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` cannot run inside a transaction — Postgres
errors out. The migration pipeline calls `createIndex` from inside a
transactional schema migration.
- CONCURRENTLY doesn't roll back with the transaction. If the
surrounding migration fails, the index remains and you end up with
metadata/schema drift.
- Failed CONCURRENTLY builds leave an INVALID index behind that needs
manual `DROP`.
- UNIQUE indexes have different failure semantics under CONCURRENTLY
(deferred, not immediate).

So CONCURRENTLY is opt-in, used only where it's the right tool (post-hoc
backfills on populated tables).

## Decisions / tradeoffs

- **Single-column BTREE vs partial `WHERE deletedAt IS NULL` vs
composite.** Twenty's queries always include `deletedAt IS NULL`. A
partial index would be slightly better than a plain BTREE (smaller, no
wasted seeks on soft-deleted rows). This PR ships single-column to match
the existing built-in target index pattern, which already covers >95% of
the available speedup (the 20s→4ms drop the reporter saw comes from
having any index — composite/partial is a second-order effect).
Switching all relation indexes to partial is a separate, broader change.
- **CONCURRENTLY operator caveat.** If a CONCURRENTLY build is
interrupted (kill, connection drop, OOM), Postgres leaves the index as
INVALID. We deliberately don't probe `pg_index` for invalid leftovers on
every create — catalog-table queries can be slow at multi-tenant scale
and the failure mode is rare. Recovery is manual: `DROP INDEX <name>`
and re-run the backfill.
- **Forward-fix is not gated** behind a feature flag. The change is
metadata-pipeline-internal; before, custom-object creation silently
produced a degraded state. After, it produces the correct state. No new
public API, no behavioural change for end users besides the indexes
existing.

## Risk

- Forward-fix: changes only the metadata produced during custom-object
creation. New objects get four extra `FlatIndexMetadata` rows and four
extra `CREATE INDEX` statements during their creation migration. Tables
are empty at that point so the index builds in microseconds.
- Helper change: API-compatible, default behavior unchanged. The new
`concurrently` parameter is optional.
- Backfill: read-only state probe → CONCURRENTLY index creation (no
write blocking) → metadata insert via the normal migration pipeline.
Idempotent. Reverting is `DROP INDEX`.

## Test plan

- [ ] Verify forward-fix: create a custom object, confirm four new BTREE
indexes appear on `timelineActivity`, `attachment`, `noteTarget`,
`taskTarget` for the new `target<CustomObject>Id` columns, and that
`flatIndexMaps` has matching entries.
- [ ] Verify backfill on a workspace that had custom objects created
before the fix: run `--dry-run` first, confirm the expected indexes are
listed; then run for real, confirm the indexes appear in pg (and as
`indisvalid = true` in `pg_index`) and in `flatIndexMaps`. Re-run;
confirm no-op.
- [ ] Verify backfill on a clean workspace: should log "no missing
indexes" and exit.
- [ ] Verify CONCURRENTLY behavior under load: run backfill against a
workspace with active writes on `timelineActivity`; confirm
inserts/updates keep working during index build (no `ShareLock` waits in
`pg_stat_activity`).
- [ ] On the affected reporter-scale workspace, confirm `EXPLAIN
ANALYZE` switches from sequential scan to index scan and timeline
activity timeouts go away.

Kartik Pant e6399b180e Fix/workspace member avatars 20193 (#20200)
Fixes #20193

**Bug Description:**
Previously, workspace member avatars failed to render correctly in table
views and relation chips (such as the Account Owner field). While the
avatar picker dropdown correctly fetched fresh GraphQL data, table views
and chips relied on the cached defaultAvatarUrl or avatarUrl fields,
which were frequently resolving to empty strings or failing to parse
external OAuth URLs correctly.

**Root Cause:**

- Empty String Defaults: Deleting an avatar or failing to retrieve one
defaulted the database state to an empty string ("") instead of null,
which caused frontend image components to break rather than render their
fallback states.

- Missing Permanent URLs: The WorkspaceMemberTranspiler was strictly
expecting internal signed URLs. If an avatar was an external OAuth URL,
it incorrectly returned an empty string, breaking SSO profile pictures.

- Missing Fallbacks: New users lacked a proper Gravatar fallback
assignment upon workspace creation.

**Changes Made:**

- user-workspace.service.ts: Updated the avatar computation logic during
user creation to implement a reliable Gravatar fallback and correctly
set missing avatars to null instead of empty strings. Updated the
storage to use permanent file URLs.
- file-url.service.ts: Implemented a getRawFileUrl method to support
rendering permanent, non-expiring file URLs for avatars.
- workspace-member-transpiler.service.ts: Refactored the URL
transpilation logic to gracefully pass through external OAuth URLs
(e.g., Google/Microsoft profile pictures) instead of stripping them.
- WorkspaceMemberPictureUploader.tsx: Fixed the frontend removal logic
so that deleting a profile picture sets the avatarUrl to null
(consistent with the backend) rather than an empty string.

**Testing:**

- Verified that avatars correctly display in relation chips and table
views.
- Verified that external OAuth avatars load properly.
- Verified that deleting an avatar correctly resets the UI to the
fallback initials component.

Marie bc28e1557c Introduce updateWorkspaceMemberSettings and clarify product (#19441)
## Summary

Introduces a dedicated **metadata** mutation to update **standard
(non-custom)** workspace member settings, moves profile-related UI to
use it, and aligns **workspace member** record permissions with the rest
of the CRM so users cannot escalate visibility via RLS by editing their
own member record.

## Product behaviour

### Profile and appearance (standard fields)

- Users can still update **their own** standard workspace member fields
that the product exposes in **Settings / Profile** (e.g. name, locale,
color scheme, avatar flow) via the new
**`updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`** mutation.
- The mutation returns a **boolean**; the app **merges** the updated
fields into local state so the UI stays in sync without refetching the
full workspace member record.
- **Locale** changes also keep **`userWorkspace`** in sync when a locale
is present in the payload (including from the workspace `updateOne` path
when applicable).

### Custom fields on workspace members

- The dedicated metadata mutation **rejects** any **custom** workspace
member field (and unknown keys). Those updates must go through the
normal **object** `updateOne` pipeline, which is subject to **object-
and field-level** permissions like other records. But since we don't
have object- and field-level permission configuration for system objects
yet, this permission is derived from Workspace member settings
permission.
- **Workspace member** is no longer exempt from ORM permission
validation for updates merely because it is a **system** object. Users
who **do not** have workspace member access (e.g. no **Workspace
members** settings permission and no equivalent broad settings access on
the role) **cannot** use `updateOne` on `workspaceMember` to change
**custom** (or other) fields on their own row—even though that row is
used for RLS predicates.
- This closes a path where someone could widen what they can see by
writing to fields that drive row-level rules.

### Who can change another member

- Updating **another** user’s workspace member still requires
**Workspace members** (or equivalent) settings permission, consistent
with admin tooling.

Charles Bochet b284c8323c Remove Favorite and FavoriteFolder from workspace schema (#19536)
## Summary

- Removes all workspace schema definitions for `Favorite` and
`FavoriteFolder` entities, which have been fully migrated to
`NavigationMenuItems`
- Deletes 26 standalone files including workspace entities, NestJS
modules, services, listeners, jobs, standard application builders (field
metadata, views, view fields, view field groups, indexes, page layouts),
mocks, and integration tests
- Cleans up ~40 modified files: removes `favorites` relation from 10
workspace entities and their field metadata utils, removes entries from
all builder maps, shared constants (`STANDARD_OBJECTS`,
`CoreObjectNameSingular`, `DEFAULT_RELATIONS_OBJECTS_STANDARD_IDS`), SDK
default relations, AI tool filtering, and standard object icons

Standard app to work properly (there is no "Default" state for custom
entities). Until we find a better implementation, I'm changing the

Marie 2d6c8be7df [Apps] Fix - app-synced object should be searchable (#19206)
## Summary

- **Make app-synced objects searchable**: `isSearchable` was hardcoded
to `false` and the `searchVector` field was missing the `GENERATED
ALWAYS AS (...)` expression, causing all records to have a `NULL` search
vector and be excluded from search results. Fixed by defaulting
`isSearchable` to `true` (configurable via the object manifest),
computing the `asExpression` from the label identifier field, and
allowing the update-field-action-handler to handle the `null` → defined
`asExpression` transition.
- **Make `isSearchable` updatable on an object**: The property had
`toCompare: false` in the entity properties configuration, so updates
via the API were silently ignored and never persisted. Fixed by setting
`toCompare: true`.

Baptiste Devessier da1b1f1cbc Combine and clean upgrade commands for record page layouts (#19004)
- Remove the label identifier field for all standard objects as it's a
first-class citizen that is displayed specifically in the app; it
doesn't make a lot of sense to display it in the Fields widgets
- Disable logic that made the label identifier required and in first
position
- Add all fields for all standard objects in record page layout view
fields
- Do not include position and ts vector fields in custom objects

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The command will create Field widgets for all relations. It is
consistent to the way the frontend dynamically generates them as of
today. We will have to decide which relations we pin as individual Field
widgets before the release. (This will likely land in this command or in
another one.)

Félix Malfait 03c94727be fix: wrap standard object/field metadata labels in msg for i18n extraction (#18951)
## Summary

- Standard object and field metadata labels were plain strings instead
of being wrapped in Lingui `msg` template literals, which prevented
extraction into translation catalogs. This caused "Uncompiled message
detected!" warnings at runtime.
- The bug was introduced when the decorator-based approach
(`@WorkspaceEntity({ labelSingular: msg`...` })`) was replaced by flat
metadata builder utils with plain strings.
- Adds an `i18nLabel` helper to safely extract the message string from
`MessageDescriptor` objects.
- Re-runs `lingui extract` and `lingui compile` to update all locale PO
files and compiled catalogs.
- Adds an integration test that queries the metadata API with `x-locale`
headers to verify locale-aware label resolution.
- Includes a ClickHouse usage event writer integration test (small
unrelated fix noticed along the way).

## Test plan

- [ ] CI lint passes (prettier + oxlint)
- [ ] CI typecheck passes
- [ ] Server unit tests pass
- [ ] Integration tests pass (including new `object-metadata-i18n` test)
- [ ] No "Uncompiled message detected!" warnings for standard
object/field labels at runtime

Charles Bochet a74edbf715 fix: route object color through standardOverrides for standard objects (#18717)
## Summary

- Fixes object `color` to use the `standardOverrides` mechanism for
standard objects, matching how `label`, `description`, and `icon`
already work
- Previously, color was written directly to the `objectMetadata.color`
column for **both** standard and custom objects, which meant user color
customizations on standard objects could be overwritten during metadata
syncs
- Custom objects continue to have `color` updated directly on the entity
(no change)

## Changes

| File | What changed |
|------|-------------|
| `object-metadata-standard-overrides-properties.constant.ts` | Added
`'color'` to `OBJECT_METADATA_STANDARD_OVERRIDES_PROPERTIES` so
`sanitizeRawUpdateObjectInput` routes color into `standardOverrides` for
standard objects |
| `resolve-object-metadata-standard-override.util.ts` | Extended to
support `'color'` as a key — handled like `icon` (no i18n/translation,
just direct override check) |
| `object-metadata.resolver.ts` | Added `@ResolveField` for `color` that
resolves through `resolveObjectMetadataStandardOverride`, matching the
existing `labelSingular`/`labelPlural`/`description`/`icon` resolve
fields |
| `flat-object-metadata-validator.service.ts` | Removed `'color'` from
`allowedOverrideKeys` for system objects since it now flows through
`standardOverrides` |
| `resolve-object-metadata-standard-override.util.spec.ts` | Added test
cases for custom object color, standard object color override, and
standard object color fallback |
| `successful-update-one-standard-object-metadata.integration-spec.ts` |
Added `'when updating color'` test case, included `color` in GraphQL
queries and `standardOverrides` fragment, reset color in `afterEach`
cleanup |

## How it works now

| Object type | Color update flow |
|---|---|
| **Custom** | Written directly to `objectMetadata.color` column |
| **Standard** | Stored in `objectMetadata.standardOverrides.color`,
resolved via `@ResolveField` at query time |

This is identical to how `label`, `description`, and `icon` have always
worked.

## Test plan

- [x] Unit tests pass
(`resolve-object-metadata-standard-override.util.spec.ts` — 21 tests)
- [x] Typecheck passes (`npx nx typecheck twenty-server`)
- [x] Lint passes (`npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server`)
- [ ] Integration test snapshot regenerates correctly
(`successful-update-one-standard-object-metadata`)
- [ ] Verify standard object color editing from sidebar persists via
`standardOverrides`
- [ ] Verify custom object color editing from sidebar persists directly
on entity

Félix Malfait c4e55d08ff fix: allow identical singular and plural labels for objects (#18678)
## Summary

Closes #18673

Some languages (e.g., German "Unternehmen") and even English words
(sheep, deer, aircraft, series) have identical singular and plural
forms. Twenty previously blocked saving when labels matched, making it
impossible to correctly name objects in these cases.

- **Labels** are purely display strings — removed the equality
validation from both the frontend Zod schema and backend validator
- **API names** (nameSingular/namePlural) must stay different since they
generate distinct GraphQL resolvers (`findOne` vs `findMany`,
`createOne` vs `createMany`, etc.) and REST endpoints — this validation
is preserved
- Added a shared `computeMetadataNamesFromLabels` util in
`twenty-shared` that auto-appends `'s'` to the plural API name when both
labels produce the same camelCase name (e.g., "Unternehmen" →
`unternehmen` / `unternehmens`)
- Both the frontend form and backend sync-check use the same shared util
— single source of truth, no duplicated logic

**No retroactive impact**: since the old code prevented identical labels
from ever being saved, no existing workspace has `labelSingular ===
labelPlural`.

## Test plan

- [x] New unit tests for `computeMetadataNamesFromLabels` (7 tests:
standard labels, Sheep, Unternehmen, Aircraft, empty labels, different
labels, applyCustomSuffix)
- [x] Updated frontend schema validation tests (identical labels with
different names now passes; identical names still fails)
- [x] Updated backend integration test cases (removed identical-label
failing cases)
- [ ] Manual: create a new object with identical singular/plural labels
(e.g. "Sheep" / "Sheep") — should save successfully with API names
`sheep` / `sheeps`
- [ ] Manual: verify existing objects with different labels still work
unchanged

Charles Bochet 5c745059ad refactor: remove "core" naming from views and eliminate converter layer (#18667)
## Summary

- **Remove all "core" prefixes** from the views system — the
metadata-based storage migration is complete, so `CoreView`,
`coreViewsSelector`, `getCoreViews`, etc. are now just `View`,
`viewsSelector`, `getViews`
- **Eliminate the entire converter layer** (15 files, ~850 lines
deleted) — `convertCoreViewToView` and all sub-converters were either
no-ops or trivially adding `__typename` / mapping identical enum values.
Local enums now re-export from generated GraphQL types directly (single
source of truth)
- **Unify `View` and `ViewWithRelations`** into one type —
`ViewWithRelations` is now a type alias for `View`, selectors return
data directly without conversion

### Backend
- Rename `@ObjectType('CoreView')` → `@ObjectType('View')` (and all
sub-entities)
- Rename resolver methods: `getCoreViews` → `getViews`, `createCoreView`
→ `createView`, etc.
- Rename `FIND_ALL_CORE_VIEWS_GRAPHQL_OPERATION` →
`FIND_ALL_VIEWS_GRAPHQL_OPERATION`

### Frontend
- Delete 15 converter files (`convertGqlView*ToView*`,
`convertView*ToGql`, `convertViewWithRelationsToView`)
- Re-export `ViewType`, `ViewKey`, `ViewFilterGroupLogicalOperator` from
generated enums (no more duplicate enum definitions with different
casing)
- Replace `ViewOpenRecordInType` with `ViewOpenRecordIn` from generated
- Remove `__typename` from all local view sub-types
- Remove unused `variant` from `ViewFilter`, make `displayValue` and
`definition` optional
- Rename ~45 GraphQL query/mutation files and all selectors to drop
"core" prefix
- Delete unused `viewsWithRelationsSelector`

Paul Rastoin 88424611ec Refactor and standardize isSystem field and object (#17992)
# Introduction

## Centralize system field definitions
- Extract a single `PARTIAL_SYSTEM_FLAT_FIELD_METADATAS` constant as the
source of truth for all 8 system fields (`id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`,
`deletedAt`, `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector`),
eliminating duplication across custom object and standard app field
builders
- Refactor `buildDefaultFlatFieldMetadatasForCustomObject` to use the
shared constant via a new `buildObjectSystemFlatFieldMetadatas` helper

## Mark system fields as `isSystem: true`
- Fields `id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`,
`updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector` are now properly flagged as
system fields across all standard objects and custom object creation
- Standard app field builders for all ~30 standard objects updated to
set `isSystem: true` on `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`,
`createdBy`, `updatedBy`
- System-only standard objects (blocklist, calendar channels, message
threads, etc.) now also include `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`,
`searchVector` field definitions that were previously missing

## Validate system fields on object creation
- New transversal validation (`crossEntityTransversalValidation`) runs
after all atomic entity validations in the build orchestrator, ensuring
all 8 system fields are present with correct `type` and `isSystem: true`
when an object is created
- New `buildUniversalFlatObjectFieldByNameAndJoinColumnMaps` utility to
resolve field names to universal identifiers for a given object
- New exception codes: `MISSING_SYSTEM_FIELD` and `INVALID_SYSTEM_FIELD`
on `ObjectMetadataExceptionCode`

## Protect system fields and objects from mutation
- Field validators now block update/delete of `isSystem` fields by
non-system callers (`FIELD_MUTATION_NOT_ALLOWED`)
- Object validators now block update/delete of `isSystem` objects by
non-system callers
- `POSITION` and `TS_VECTOR` field type validators replaced: instead of
rejecting creation outright, they now validate that the field is named
correctly (`position` / `searchVector`) and has `isSystem: true`

## Distinguish `isSystemBuild` from `isCallerTwentyStandardApp`
- New `isCallerTwentyStandardApp` utility checks whether the caller's
`applicationUniversalIdentifier` matches the twenty standard app
- Name-sync logic (`isFlatFieldMetadataNameSyncedWithLabel`,
`areFlatObjectMetadataNamesSyncedWithLabels`) refactored to use
`isCallerTwentyStandardApp` for custom suffix decisions, keeping
`isSystemBuild` for mutation permission checks
- `WorkspaceMigrationBuilderOptions` type updated to include
`applicationUniversalIdentifier`

## Adapt frontend filtering
- New `HIDDEN_SYSTEM_FIELD_NAMES` constant (`id`, `position`,
`searchVector`) and `isHiddenSystemField` utility to only hide truly
internal fields while keeping user-facing system fields (`createdAt`,
`updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`, `updatedBy`) visible in the UI
- ~20 frontend files updated to replace `!field.isSystem` checks with
`!isHiddenSystemField(field)` across record index, settings, data model,
charts, workflows, spreadsheet import, aggregations, and role
permissions

## Add 1.19 upgrade commands
- **`backfill-system-fields-is-system`**: Raw SQL command to set
`isSystem = true` on existing workspace fields matching system field
names, and fix `position` field type from `NUMBER` to `POSITION` for
`favorite`/`favoriteFolder` objects. Includes proper cache invalidation.
- **`add-missing-system-fields-to-standard-objects`**: Codegen'd
workspace migration to create missing `position`, `searchVector`,
`createdBy`, `updatedBy` fields on standard objects that didn't
previously have them. Runs via `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerService` in a
single transaction with idempotency check. **Known limitation**: assumes
all standard objects exist and are valid in the target workspace.

## Add `universalIdentifier` for system fields in standard object
constants
- `standard-object.constant.ts` updated to include `universalIdentifier`
for `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`, and `searchVector` across all
standard objects
- `fieldManifestType.ts` updated to support the new field manifest shape

## System relation
Completely removed and backfilled all `isSystem` relation to be false
false
As we won't require an object to have any relation system fields

## Add integration tests
- New test suite `failing-sync-application-object-system-fields`
covering: missing system fields, wrong field types (`id` as TEXT,
`createdAt` as TEXT, `position` as TEXT), system field deletion
attempts, and system field update attempts
- New test utilities: `buildDefaultObjectManifest` (builds an object
manifest with all 8 system fields) and `setupApplicationForSync`
(centralizes application setup)
- Existing successful sync test updated to verify system fields are
created with correct properties

## Next step
Make the builder scope the compared entity to be the currently built app
+ nor twenty standard app

Félix Malfait 082400f751 Add objectRecordCounts query to /metadata endpoint (#18054)
## Summary

- Adds an `objectRecordCounts` query on the `/metadata` GraphQL endpoint
that returns approximate record counts for all objects in the workspace
- Uses PostgreSQL's `pg_class.reltuples` catalog stats — a single
instant query instead of N `COUNT(*)` table scans
- Replaces the previous `CombinedFindManyRecords` approach which hit the
server's 20 root resolver limit and silently showed 0 for all counts on
the settings Data Model page

### Server
- `ObjectRecordCountDTO` — GraphQL type with `objectNamePlural` and
`totalCount`
- `ObjectRecordCountService` — reads `pg_class` catalog for the
workspace schema
- Query added to `ObjectMetadataResolver` with `@MetadataResolver()` +
`NoPermissionGuard`

### Frontend
- `OBJECT_RECORD_COUNTS` query added to
`object-metadata/graphql/queries.ts`
- `useCombinedGetTotalCount` simplified to a zero-argument hook using
the new query
- `SettingsObjectTable` simplified to a single hook call

Weiko c173f01601 Create record page layout after custom object creation (#17923)
## Context
Creating a new object should now also create its record page layout,
tabs and widgets, including fields widget with its associated views/view
fields.
Custom objects record page layout fields widgets don't have section per
default

Note: I had to enable some widget creation through the custom API but we
should now implement proper validation (which should be minimal since
there is usually only the configuration type in the configuration
(except for FIELDS widget which contains a viewId)

Next step: Create view field should also create a viewField for the
FIELDS_WIDGET view (we should also add in the FIELDS widget
configuration a newFieldDefaults which will contain default visibility
and position to apply to the new view field)

The feature is still gated behind an env variable (this was necessary
for workspace creation, not so much here in this case but I prefer to
keep the same path for consistence)

Charles Bochet 9e21e55db4 Prevent leak between /metadata and /graphql GQL schemas (#17845)
## Fix resolver schema leaking between `/metadata` and `/graphql`
endpoints

### Summary
- Patch `@nestjs/graphql` to support a `resolverSchemaScope` option that
filters resolvers at both schema generation and runtime, preventing
cross-endpoint leaking
- Introduce `@CoreResolver()` and `@MetadataResolver()` decorators to
explicitly scope each resolver to its endpoint
- Move most resolvers (auth, billing, workspace, user, etc.) to the
metadata schema where the frontend expects them; only workflow and
timeline calendar/messaging resolvers remain on `/graphql`
- Fix frontend `SSEQuerySubscribeEffect` to use the default (metadata)
Apollo client instead of the core client

### Problem
NestJS GraphQL's module-based resolver discovery traverses transitive
imports, causing resolvers from `/metadata` modules to leak into the
`/graphql` schema and vice versa. This made the schemas unpredictable
and tightly coupled to module import order.

### Approach
- Added `resolverSchemaScope` to `GqlModuleOptions` via a patch on
`@nestjs/graphql`, filtering in both `filterResolvers()` (runtime
binding) and `getAllCtors()` (schema generation)
- Each resolver is explicitly decorated with `@CoreResolver()` or
`@MetadataResolver()`
- Organized decorator, constant, and type files under `graphql-config/`
following project conventions

Paul Rastoin 8c951d3623 Migrate Views-xxx Index Field Object Skill to be fully universal ( all actions and metadata runner and builder ) + all metadata update actions runner (#17687)
# What this PR does
Overall naming `universal` versus `flat` is not always the most updated
and so on
Will make a big cleaning tour after I've finished the whole migration
Migrating all `view` and ( filter fields etc ) `field` `object` `index`
to the universal pattern on all `services`, `builder` and `runner`
levels

## Universal and flat optimistic tooling

`addUniversalFlatEntityToUniversalFlatEntityAndRelatedEntityMapsThroughMutationOrThrow`
and its delete counterpart maintain the consistency of
`UniversalFlatEntityMaps` when an entity is created or removed. Beyond
inserting/removing the entity from its own maps, they walk through
`ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS` to update the **aggregator arrays**
on related parent entities — the add appends the new entity's
`universalIdentifier` to the parent's aggregator (e.g. a new viewField's
identifier gets appended to its parent view's
`viewFieldUniversalIdentifiers`), and the delete filters it out. This
keeps the maps in sync so that diff computations and relation lookups
remain accurate throughout the migration building process.

## ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS
`ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS` is the universal counterpart of
`ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS`. It maps each metadata entity to its
many-to-one and one-to-many relations using universal foreign keys
(`*UniversalIdentifier`) instead of database IDs (`*Id`). This allows
migration actions to reference related entities in a workspace-agnostic
way. Relations that are workspace-specific (e.g. `workspace`,
`dataSource`, `userWorkspace`) are set to `null` and skipped during
resolution.

## `workspaceMigrationCreateIdEnrichment`
Reserved to API metadata ( will be able to validate at app installation
lvl )
- Workspace migration `create` actions now carry an optional `id` (and
`fieldIdByUniversalIdentifier` for object/field actions) so that
caller-provided IDs flow through the entire build-validate-run pipeline.
- New `enrichCreateWorkspaceMigrationActionsWithIds` utility resolves
`universalIdentifier → id` mappings after the builder runs and injects
them into the migration actions before the runner persists entities.
- Runner action handlers use the provided IDs instead of generating new
UUIDs, enabling deterministic entity creation for synchronization
workflows.


## `resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds`
`resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds` converts universal
identifiers (workspace-agnostic, stable keys) in a migration update
payload into concrete database UUIDs, so the update can be applied to a
specific workspace.

It iterates over the many-to-one relations defined in
`ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS` for the given entity type, replaces
each `*UniversalIdentifier` property with its corresponding `*Id` by
looking up the target entity in `allFlatEntityMaps`, and throws if a
non-null identifier can't be resolved.

Used by all `update` action handlers in
`transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction`, avoiding duplicated resolution
logic across handlers.

## What this PR does not
- Migrating twenty-standard declaration to universal
- Migrating all the inputs transpilers to universal
- Migrating all metadata to be fully universal ( we still need to
de-scope the type of all of them and refactor their validator very close
)

Paul Rastoin 3dc5b162c7 Spread in parent and requires FlatEntity.__universal (#17753)
# Introduction
Requiring the spreaded `__universal` record that aggregates all the
universal identifier ( relations fk and aggregators ) of an entity to
its root

It's blockin for https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17687 to be
finalized because if we don't we would have to migrated all related
entities at once in order for them to always have the universal
properties

## `resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers`
Introduced `resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers` a centralized
utility that resolves foreign key IDs to universal identifiers using
ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS metadata. It provides strict typing for both
input (foreign keys) and output (universal identifiers), with
nullability dynamically inferred from entity relation types.
Strictly and dynamically typed for both output and input

To do so added a new type and const/runtime grain to
ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS `isNullable`to many-to-one entries, derived from
the entity relation property types. And fixed incorrectly typed typeorm
entities

### Usage
```ts
  const {
    availabilityObjectMetadataUniversalIdentifier,
    frontComponentUniversalIdentifier,
  } = resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers({
    metadataName: 'commandMenuItem',
    foreignKeyValues: {
      availabilityObjectMetadataId:
        createCommandMenuItemInput.availabilityObjectMetadataId,
      frontComponentId: createCommandMenuItemInput.frontComponentId,
    },
    flatEntityMaps: { flatObjectMetadataMaps, flatFrontComponentMaps },

Abdullah. 7867617385 Migrate noteTarget and taskTarget to Morph. (#17476)
This PR migrates `noteTarget` and `taskTarget` to morph relations behind
separate feature flags, following the Attachment/TimelineActivity
pattern.

It introduces the `IS_NOTE_TARGET_MIGRATED` and
`IS_TASK_TARGET_MIGRATED` flags, updates standard field metadata and
indexes to use morph relations, and adds two **1.17 workspace
migrations** that:
- rename `noteTarget.*Id` / `taskTarget.*Id` columns to `target*Id`
- convert the corresponding field metadata to `MORPH_RELATION` with a
shared `morphId`

On the frontend, note/task target read and write paths switch to
`target*Id` when the respective flag is enabled. Deleted targets are
filtered on reload to prevent reappearing relations.

Marie 7b48efb5d6 Fix creation of objects with acronym names (e.g. "O&J") (#17633)
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/17544

**Problem**
When users create custom objects with short acronym names like "O&J",
the system generates an object name oJ. When creating relation fields,
the morph field name was built using string concatenation:
const morphFieldName = `target${capitalize("oJ")}`; // → "targetOJ"
This produced "targetOJ", which failed validation because the camelCase
check performed in `validateFlatFieldMetadataName` (camelCase(name) ===
name) returns "targetOj" for "targetOJ". The issue comes from
consecutive camelCase() operations.

**Solution**
Actually, the `camelCase(name) === name` check is questionnable. 
What we want to check is that a name is in camelCase format, not that it
corresponds to the camelCase version of a given string, while that's we
are doing here. lodash does not provide camelCase validator, only
camelCase convertor, so we used it as a way to validate the format of
the name.
We may feel like `camelCase(name) === name` checks whether a name is
camel-cased, but in addition to that it is also checking for a camel
case "idempotency" we don't necessarily have and do not need: for
instance if an object's name is "iOS" (which could be inferred from a
label "I O S"), it won't pass the check: camelCase("iOS") is "ios" and
"ios" !== "iOS".

The existing check with
`STARTS_WITH_LOWER_CASE_AND_CONTAINS_ONLY_CAPS_AND_LOWER_LETTERS_AND_NUMBER_STRING_REGEX`
acts as a camel case validator, so we don't need that camelCase() check.

Abdullah. fa0615d41e Migrate attachments to morph relations + fix morph join column filtering (#17381)
Closes [1744](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1744).

This PR migrates attachments to morph relations behind a feature flag,
following the TimelineActivity pattern. it introduces the
`IS_ATTACHMENT_MIGRATED` flag, updates standard field metadata and
indexes to use morph relations, adds a workspace migration that renames
`attachment.*Id` columns to `target*Id` and converts the corresponding
field metadata to `MORPH_RELATION` with a shared `morphId`. On the
frontend, attachment read/write paths now switch to `target*Id` when the
flag is enabled.

It also fixes optimistic filtering for morph join columns. The metadata
API deduplicates morph fields, so attachments now expose a single target
field of type `MORPH_RELATION` plus a `morphRelations` array listing
each target object. Because only one `settings.joinColumnName` is
returned (e.g. `targetRocketId`), filters like `targetCompanyId` don’t
map to any field and the optimistic cache code throws.
`doesMorphRelationJoinColumnMatch` resolves this by computing all valid
join column names from `morphRelations` using
`computeMorphRelationFieldName` and comparing them to the filter key.
That makes filters like `targetCompanyId` resolvable even with a single
target field, so attachment uploads and list matching no longer crash.

Today the metadata API returns one morph field called `target` and a
list of possible targets (`morphRelations`), but it does not tell us the
join column for each target. That’s why the Frontend had to compute join
column names.

If we want to fix this at the API level, there are two options:

- Add join column names to each target in `morphRelations` (e.g. company
→ `targetCompanyId`). This is additive and low‑risk.
- Return each target as its own field (`targetCompany`, `targetPerson`,
etc.) instead of a single target. This is a larger change because it
changes the shape of metadata and would require more UI updates.

Félix Malfait 3ed67b825e feat: implement generic many-to-many junction relation support (#16820)
## Overview

This PR implements **generic many-to-many relation support** through
junction tables (also known as associative entities or join tables).
This replaces the need for hardcoded taskTarget/noteTarget logic and
provides a flexible foundation for modeling complex entity
relationships.

## Architecture

### Data Model

Many-to-many relationships are implemented using a **junction object
pattern**:

```
┌─────────┐       ┌──────────────────┐       ┌─────────┐
│  Pet    │──────>│   PetRocket      │<──────│ Rocket  │
│         │ 1:N   │  (junction)      │  N:1  │         │
│ rockets ├───────┤ pet    : Pet     ├───────┤         │
└─────────┘       │ rocket : Rocket  │       └─────────┘
                  └──────────────────┘
```

The junction object (PetRocket) has:
- A `MANY_TO_ONE` relation to **Pet** (the source)
- A `MANY_TO_ONE` relation to **Rocket** (the target)

The source object (Pet) has a `ONE_TO_MANY` relation pointing to the
junction, with **field settings** that specify which target field to
follow.

### Field Settings Schema

Junction configuration is stored in `FieldMetadataRelationSettings`:

```typescript
{
  relationType: "ONE_TO_MANY",
  // Points to the target field on the junction object
  junctionTargetFieldId?: string;      // For regular relations
  junctionTargetMorphId?: string;      // For polymorphic relations
}
```

**Two configuration modes:**
1. **`junctionTargetFieldId`** - References a specific `RELATION` field
on the junction
2. **`junctionTargetMorphId`** - References a `morphId` group for
polymorphic targets (e.g., link to Person OR Company)

### GraphQL Query Generation

When a junction relation is detected, the GraphQL fields are generated
to fetch the nested target:

```graphql
query GetPetWithRockets {
  pet(id: "...") {
    rockets {           # ONE_TO_MANY to junction
      id
      rocket {          # Target field on junction
        id
        name
        __typename
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For polymorphic junction targets:
```graphql
caretakerPerson { id, name }
caretakerCompany { id, name }
```

## Frontend Architecture

### Display Flow

1. **Detection**: `hasJunctionConfig()` checks if field has junction
settings
2. **Config Resolution**: `getJunctionConfig()` resolves junction object
metadata and target fields
3. **Record Extraction**: `extractTargetRecordsFromJunction()` extracts
target records from junction records
4. **Rendering**: Target records displayed as chips (not junction
records)

### Edit Flow

1. **Picker Opening**: Initializes the multi-record picker with:
   - Searchable object types (derived from junction target fields)
   - Pre-selected items (extracted from existing junction records)
   
2. **Selection Handling**: Manages create/delete of junction records:
   - **Select**: Creates new junction record with source + target IDs
   - **Deselect**: Finds and deletes the junction record
- **Optimistic Updates**: Manually updates Recoil store before API call

### Key Trade-offs

| Decision | Trade-off |
|----------|-----------|
| Junction records managed manually | More control over optimistic
updates, but requires manual cache management |
| Settings stored per-field | Flexible (same junction can power
different views), but requires UI to configure |
| Polymorphic via morphId groups | Supports N target types, but adds
query complexity |
| Feature flag gated | Safe rollout, but requires flag management |

## Backend Changes

- **Validation**: Junction target field must exist and be a valid
`MANY_TO_ONE` relation
- **Settings**: Extended `FieldMetadataRelationSettings` type with
junction fields
- **Dev Seeder**: Added sample junction objects (PetRocket,
EmploymentHistory, PetCareAgreement) for testing

## How to Test

1. Enable the `IS_JUNCTION_RELATIONS_ENABLED` feature flag
2. Create objects with junction pattern (Pet → PetRocket → Rocket)
3. Configure the junction target in field settings (advanced mode)
4. Verify:
- Display shows target objects (Rockets), not junction records
(PetRockets)
   - Picker allows selecting/deselecting targets
   - Changes persist correctly

Abdullah. 2c8d3f02e1 feat: upgrade to Storybook version 10 (#17110)
Upgraded to Storybook 10. We still use `@storybook/test-runner` for
testing since it appears it'd require more work to move from Jest to
Vitest than I initially anticipated, but I completed this PR to fix
`storybook:serve:dev` - it takes time to load, but it works the way it
used to with Storybook 8.

Paul Rastoin a6415db775 Refactor workspace migration and validation error types and centralize runner optimistic rendering (#16920)
# Introduction

In this PR we're:
- Refactoring the workspace migration action type introducing grain over
metadata and operation type ( for example operation `create` and
metadata `field` )
- Thanks to above point we can now factorize the runner optimistic
rendering out of each runner actions-handler file using the existing
into the generic one ( -3200 lines of code here )
- Still thanks to action type refactor we're able to dynamically compose
the response error type only send data when there's here. No more static
counter and static summary error message. This way we won't have to re
run snapshot every time we add a new entity to the engine ( huge
snapshot diff here )

## Noticeable points:
- We introduce an index update action to avoid any complex typing for
not having one or a tuple of actions instead. Now the drop and insert
logic is directly inferred from the update action handler instead of
being two action ( delete index and create index )

## TODO
- [x] Define base actions types
- [x] Migrate all actions to action type and metadata name pattern (
base actions )
- [x] Refactor flat entity validation type to embed metadata name
- [x] Refactor optimistic rendering within runner
- [x] Refactor legacy cache invalidation switch
- [x] Refactor response error format ( dynamic counter again + no empty
entries )
- [x] Try factorizing and removing redundant nor unused type declaration
in metadata actions type intermediary files
- [x] Adapt front to new response error format

## Remarks
- ~~Should create an issue for generic replace flat entity in related
flat entity maps~~ overkill
- Should create an issue for oneToMany foreignKey being nullable not
always cascade delete optimistic rendering edge case to either docs or
fix it in delete flat entity and related entity ( re-code the pg
cascading behavior )
- We could also factorize the builder to only implement validators and
not the intermediary file

Félix Malfait 21ff42074d feat: implement skills system for AI agents (#16865)
## Summary
This PR introduces a Skills system for AI agents, inspired by the [Agent
Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification).

## Changes

### Backend
- **SkillEntity**: New database entity with migration for storing skills
- **V2 Sync Mechanism**: Implemented FlatSkill, builders, validators,
and action handlers following the v2 flat entity pattern
- **Standard Skills**: Pre-defined skills (workflow-building,
data-manipulation, dashboard-building, metadata-building, research,
code-interpreter, xlsx, pdf, docx, pptx)
- **GraphQL API**: CRUD operations for skills with proper guards and
permissions
- **Workspace Cache**: Integrated skills into the workspace cache system

### Frontend  
- **Skills Table**: Searchable table in AI settings showing all skills
- **Skill Form**: Create/edit page with Label (primary), Description,
and Content (markdown editor)
- **API Name**: Following existing patterns, name is derived from label
with advanced settings toggle for custom API names
- **Standard vs Custom**: Standard skills are read-only, custom skills
can be edited/deleted

## Key Design Decisions
- Skills are stored in the database (Salesforce-like approach) rather
than files
- Name is derived from Label by default (isLabelSyncedWithName pattern)
- Skills reference functions/files via @ mentions in markdown content
rather than explicit relations
- Standard skills are synced from code, custom skills are created via UI

## Screenshots
Skills table and form UI follow existing settings patterns.

## Testing
- [x] Lint passes
- [x] Typecheck passes
- [ ] CI tests

## Migrate `viewFilterGroup` entity to v2 flat architecture

### Summary
Migrates the `viewFilterGroup` entity from v1 to the v2 flat entity
architecture, following the established patterns for other v2 entities
like `viewFilter`, `view`, and `viewField`.

### Changes

**Types & Constants**
- Added `FlatViewFilterGroup` and `FlatViewFilterGroupMaps` types
- Added editable properties constant for `viewFilterGroup`
- Registered `viewFilterGroup` in `ALL_METADATA_NAME`,
`ALL_METADATA_RELATION_PROPERTIES`,
`ALL_METADATA_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS`, and related constants

**Cache Service**
- Created `WorkspaceFlatViewFilterGroupMapCacheService` with proper
relation loading for `viewFilters` and `childViewFilterGroups`
- Updated `WorkspaceFlatViewMapCacheService` to load `viewFilterGroups`
relation

**Builder & Validator**
- Created `WorkspaceMigrationV2ViewFilterGroupActionsBuilderService`
- Created `FlatViewFilterGroupValidatorService` with creation, update,
and deletion validation
- Integrated validation into the orchestrator service (runs before
`viewFilter` validation)

**Action Handlers**
- Created create, update, and delete action handlers for
`viewFilterGroup`

**Service Migration**
- Rewrote `ViewFilterGroupService` to use v2 migration pattern with
`WorkspaceMigrationValidateBuildAndRunService`
- Created utility functions for transforming DTOs to flat entities

**Database Migration**
- Added migration to make `parentViewFilterGroupId` foreign key
deferrable (handles self-referential parent/child insertions)

**ViewFilter Integration**
- Added `viewFilterGroupId` validation in
`FlatViewFilterValidatorService`
- Updated `viewFilter` many-to-one relations to include
`viewFilterGroup`

**Tests**
- Added integration tests for successful creation, update, deletion, and
destruction
- Added failing test cases for non-existent entities and invalid
references
- Added failing test for `viewFilter` creation with non-existent
`viewFilterGroupId`

### Breaking Changes
None - existing API contracts are preserved.
