Paul Rastoin 4ea2e32366 Refactor twenty client sdk provisioning for logic function and front-component (#18544)
## 1. The `twenty-client-sdk` Package (Source of Truth)

The monorepo package at `packages/twenty-client-sdk` ships with:
- A **pre-built metadata client** (static, generated from a fixed
schema)
- A **stub core client** that throws at runtime (`CoreApiClient was not
generated...`)
- Both ESM (`.mjs`) and CJS (`.cjs`) bundles in `dist/`
- A `package.json` with proper `exports` map for
`twenty-client-sdk/core`, `twenty-client-sdk/metadata`, and
`twenty-client-sdk/generate`

## 2. Generation & Upload (Server-Side, at Migration Time)

**When**: `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerService.run()` executes after a
metadata schema change.

**What happens in `SdkClientGenerationService.generateAndStore()`**:
1. Copies the stub `twenty-client-sdk` package from the server's assets
(resolved via `SDK_CLIENT_PACKAGE_DIRNAME` — from
`dist/assets/twenty-client-sdk/` in production, or from `node_modules`
in dev)
2. Filters out `node_modules/` and `src/` during copy — only
`package.json` + `dist/` are kept (like an npm publish)
3. Calls `replaceCoreClient()` which uses `@genql/cli` to introspect the
**application-scoped** GraphQL schema and generates a real
`CoreApiClient`, then compiles it to ESM+CJS and overwrites
`dist/core.mjs` and `dist/core.cjs`
4. Archives the **entire package** (with `package.json` + `dist/`) into
`twenty-client-sdk.zip`
5. Uploads the single archive to S3 under
`FileFolder.GeneratedSdkClient`
6. Sets `isSdkLayerStale = true` on the `ApplicationEntity` in the
database

## 3. Invalidation Signal

The `isSdkLayerStale` boolean column on `ApplicationEntity` is the
invalidation mechanism:
- **Set to `true`** by `generateAndStore()` after uploading a new client
archive
- **Checked** by both logic function drivers before execution — if
`true`, they rebuild their local layer
- **Set back to `false`** by `markSdkLayerFresh()` after the driver has
successfully consumed the new archive

Default is `false` so existing applications without a generated client
aren't affected.

## 4a. Logic Functions — Local Driver

**`ensureSdkLayer()`** is called before every execution:
1. Checks if the local SDK layer directory exists AND `isSdkLayerStale`
is `false` → early return
2. Otherwise, cleans the local layer directory
3. Calls `downloadAndExtractToPackage()` which streams the zip from S3
directly to disk and extracts the full package into
`<tmpdir>/sdk/<workspaceId>-<appId>/node_modules/twenty-client-sdk/`
4. Calls `markSdkLayerFresh()` to set `isSdkLayerStale = false`

**At execution time**, `assembleNodeModules()` symlinks everything from
the deps layer's `node_modules/` **except** `twenty-client-sdk`, which
is symlinked from the SDK layer instead. This ensures the logic
function's `import ... from 'twenty-client-sdk/core'` resolves to the
generated client.

## 4b. Logic Functions — Lambda Driver

**`ensureSdkLayer()`** is called during `build()`:
1. Checks if `isSdkLayerStale` is `false` and an existing Lambda layer
ARN exists → early return
2. Otherwise, deletes all existing layer versions for this SDK layer
name
3. Calls `downloadArchiveBuffer()` to get the raw zip from S3 (no disk
extraction)
4. Calls `reprefixZipEntries()` which streams the zip entries into a
**new zip** with the path prefix
`nodejs/node_modules/twenty-client-sdk/` — this is the Lambda layer
convention path. All done in memory, no disk round-trip
5. Publishes the re-prefixed zip as a new Lambda layer via
`publishLayer()`
6. Calls `markSdkLayerFresh()`

**At function creation**, the Lambda is created with **two layers**:
`[depsLayerArn, sdkLayerArn]`. The SDK layer is listed last so it
overwrites the stub `twenty-client-sdk` from the deps layer (later
layers take precedence in Lambda's `/opt` merge).

## 5. Front Components

Front components are built by `app:build` with `twenty-client-sdk/core`
and `twenty-client-sdk/metadata` as **esbuild externals**. The stored
`.mjs` in S3 has unresolved bare import specifiers like `import {
CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core'`.

SDK import resolution is split between the **frontend host** (fetching &
caching SDK modules) and the **Web Worker** (rewriting imports):

**Server endpoints**:
- `GET /rest/front-components/:id` —
`FrontComponentService.getBuiltComponentStream()` returns the **raw
`.mjs`** directly from file storage. No bundling, no SDK injection.
- `GET /rest/sdk-client/:applicationId/:moduleName` —
`SdkClientController` reads a single file (e.g. `dist/core.mjs`) from
the generated SDK archive via
`SdkClientGenerationService.readFileFromArchive()` and serves it as
JavaScript.

**Frontend host** (`FrontComponentRenderer` in `twenty-front`):
1. Queries `FindOneFrontComponent` which returns `applicationId`,
`builtComponentChecksum`, `usesSdkClient`, and `applicationTokenPair`
2. If `usesSdkClient` is `true`, renders
`FrontComponentRendererWithSdkClient` which calls the
`useApplicationSdkClient` hook
3. `useApplicationSdkClient({ applicationId, accessToken })` checks the
Jotai atom family cache for existing blob URLs. On cache miss, fetches
both SDK modules from `GET /rest/sdk-client/:applicationId/core` and
`/metadata`, creates **blob URLs** for each, and stores them in the atom
family
4. Once the blob URLs are cached, passes them as `sdkClientUrls`
(already blob URLs, not server URLs) to `SharedFrontComponentRenderer` →
`FrontComponentWorkerEffect` → worker's `render()` call via
`HostToWorkerRenderContext`

**Worker** (`remote-worker.ts` in `twenty-sdk`):
1. Fetches the raw component `.mjs` source as text
2. If `sdkClientUrls` are provided and the source contains SDK import
specifiers (`twenty-client-sdk/core`, `twenty-client-sdk/metadata`),
**rewrites** the bare specifiers to the blob URLs received from the host
(e.g. `'twenty-client-sdk/core'` → `'blob:...'`)
3. Creates a blob URL for the rewritten source and `import()`s it
4. Revokes only the component blob URL after the module is loaded — the
SDK blob URLs are owned and managed by the host's Jotai cache

This approach eliminates server-side esbuild bundling on every request,
caches SDK modules per application in the frontend, and keeps the
worker's job to a simple string rewrite.

Raphaël Bosi 7da8450075 [FRONT COMPONENTS] Headless components (#18096)
## Description

- Add `isHeadless` field to `FrontComponent` entity so front components
can run without rendering UI in the command menu
- Introduce headless front component mounting logic:
`HeadlessFrontComponentMountRoot` at the application root,
`useMountHeadlessFrontComponent`, and `useUnmountHeadlessFrontComponent`
hooks to mount/unmount headless components
- Expand the SDK with new action components (`Action`, `ActionLink`,
`ActionOpenSidePanelPage`) and host communication functions
(`openSidePanelPage`, `unmountFrontComponent`)
- Move `CommandMenuPages` type to twenty-shared so the SDK can reference
it for side panel navigation

Paul Rastoin bd9688421f ObjectMetadata and FieldMetadata agnostic workspace migration runner (#17572)
# Introduction
Important note: This PR officially deprecates the `standardId`, about to
drop col and entity property after this has been merged

Important note2: Haven't updated the optimistic tool to also update the
universal identifier aggregators only the ids one, they should not be
consumed in the runner context -> need to improve typing or either the
optimistic tooling

In this PR we're introducing all the devxp allowing future metadata
incremental universal migration -> this has an impact on all existing
metadata actions handler ( explaining its size )
This PR also introduce workspace agnostic create update actions runner
for both field and object metadata in order to battle test the described
above devxp

Noting that these two metadata are the most complex to handle

Notes:
- A workspace migration is now highly bind to a
`applicationUniversalIdentifier`. Though we don't strictly validate
application scope for the moment

## Next
Migrate both object and field builder to universal comparison

## Universal Actions vs Flat Actions Architecture

### Concept

The migration system uses a two-phase action model:

1. **Universal Actions** - Actions defined using `universalIdentifier`
(stable, portable identifiers like `standardId` + `applicationId`)
2. **Flat Actions** - Actions defined using database `entityId` (UUIDs
specific to a workspace)

### Why This Separation?

- **Universal actions are portable**: They can be serialized, stored,
and replayed across different workspaces
- **Flat actions are executable**: They contain the actual database IDs
needed to perform operations
- **Decoupling**: The builder produces universal actions; the runner
transpiles them to flat actions at execution time

### Transpiler Pattern

Each action handler must implement
`transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction()`:

```typescript
@Injectable()
export class CreateFieldActionHandlerService extends WorkspaceMigrationRunnerActionHandler(
  'create',
  'fieldMetadata',
) {
  override async transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
    context: WorkspaceMigrationActionRunnerArgs<UniversalCreateFieldAction>,
  ): Promise<FlatCreateFieldAction> {
    // Resolve universal identifiers to database IDs
    const flatObjectMetadata = findFlatEntityByUniversalIdentifierOrThrow({
      flatEntityMaps: allFlatEntityMaps.flatObjectMetadataMaps,
      universalIdentifier: action.objectMetadataUniversalIdentifier,
    });
    
    return {
      type: action.type,
      metadataName: action.metadataName,
      objectMetadataId: flatObjectMetadata.id, // Resolved ID
      flatFieldMetadatas: /* ... transpiled entities ... */,
    };
  }
}
```

### Action Handler Base Class

`BaseWorkspaceMigrationRunnerActionHandlerService<TActionType,
TMetadataName>` provides:

- **`transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction()`** - Abstract method each
handler must implement
- **`transpileUniversalDeleteActionToFlatDeleteAction()`** - Shared
helper for delete actions

## FlatEntityMaps custom properties
Introduced a `TWithCustomMapsProperties` generic parameter to control
whether custom indexing structures are included:

- **`false` (default)**: Returns `FlatEntityMaps<MetadataFlatEntity<T>>`
- used in builder/runner contexts
- **`true`**: Returns the full maps type with custom properties (e.g.,
`byUserWorkspaceIdAndFolderId`) - used in cache contexts

## Create Field Actions Refactor

Refactored create-field actions to support relation field pairs
bundling.

**Problem:** Relation fields (e.g., `Attachment.targetTask` ↔
`Task.attachments`) couldn't resolve each other's IDs during
transpilation because they were in separate actions with independent
`fieldIdByUniversalIdentifier` maps.

**Solution:** 
- Removed `objectMetadataUniversalIdentifier` from
`UniversalCreateFieldAction` and `objectMetadataId` from
`FlatCreateFieldAction` - each field now carries its own
- Runner groups fields by object internally and processes each table
separately
- Split aggregator into two focused utilities:
- `aggregateNonRelationFieldsIntoObjectActions` - merges non-relation
fields into object actions
- `aggregateRelationFieldPairs` - bundles relation pairs with shared
`fieldIdByUniversalIdentifier`

Paul Rastoin 596b7cc62d Deprecate nullable syncableEntity (#17279)
# Introduction
As we've been identifying both standard and custom entities for all the
metadata that had standard
We now still need to identify all custom entities enforcing them to have
an `applicationId` and `universalIdentifier`

In this PR we've removed the `SyncableEntityRequired` in favor requiring
props directly in the `SyncableEntity`
Which means that all metadata in db will now expect non nullable
applicationId and universalIdentifier across the whole application

Will add some type cleanup later in
