# Introduction
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17632 and
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17572
This PR deprecates the agent, skill, field metadata and role
`standardId` in favor of the `universalIdentifier` usage
## Note
- Removed previous standard ids declaration modules
- Twenty-sdk now re-exports the `STANDARD_OBJECTS` universalIdentifier
hashmap constant
- deleted some sync-metadata deadcode too ( mainly types )
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.
# Introduction
In this PR we're deprecating the object metadata standard id and
replacing it to the universalIdentifier usage
As we've totally removed its insertion for both new field and object in
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17572
## Note
- Removed upgrade commands before `1.17`
# 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`
This PR handles SSE event stream edge cases.
- When a pod restarts, the front clients have to reconnect to SSE
- When the dev server restarts or is hot reloaded, the front client has
to reconnect to SSE
- When redis server restarts or the redis key is cleared for any reason,
the server has to recreate the event stream in redis, this can happen
when navigating for example.
- Log in / log out flow
With this PR we avoid error messages in the front end due to TTL or pod
crash, we implement a resilient way of reconnecting silently.
To avoid DDoSing our servers if pods crash or a full restart of the
cluster is made, we evenly space retry attempts to reconnect from all
the clients, to avoid n clients reconnection at the same time, we use a
random wait time between 0 and a constant max wait time (set to 2 mins
for now). This is the cheapest and most effective solution, clients who
want to force reconnect have to refresh or navigate to another page.
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2045
## Problem
Favorite records (`NavigationMenuItems`) were not showing in the sidebar
under Favorites as the BE was returning `null` for
`targetRecordIdentifier`.
## Root cause
The `targetRecordIdentifier` resolver used `context.req`, which does not
have the typed `WorkspaceAuthContext` shape.
## Fix
Use `getWorkspaceAuthContext()` instead of `context.req` so the resolver
receives the typed auth context.

How it works
- `manifest.json` files are now committed when apps are published to our
repo
- to display available apps, from the server, we read into our github
repo, using a pod-scoped cache
- feature flagged
- app installation will be behind permission gate MARKETPLACE_APPS
Limitations and what is yet to develop
- content and settings tabs
- installed apps tab
- app installation
- test and potentially fix reading from .manifest.json once [Reshape
manifest
structure](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/2183) is
done. additional work is expected on assets notably. (couldnt properly
do it here as manifest.json will only be committed after this pr)
- we only read in community/ folder for now - we may want tochange that
- the cache is rather artisanal for now and scoped by pod - we may want
to change that
Removes the versioning system for logic functions (`latestVersion`,
`publishedVersions`) and simplifies the file storage structure.
### Changes
- Remove `publishOneLogicFunctionOrFail` and publishing logic from
workflow status updates
- Add `createLogicFunctionFromExistingLogicFunction` to duplicate logic
functions when creating draft workflow versions
- Update `createDraftStep` to create a new logic function copy instead
of referencing the same one
- Migrate file storage to v2 endpoints with
`applicationUniversalIdentifier`
- Unify path structure: source files at `source/workflow/{id}/`, built
files at `built-logic-function/workflow/{id}/`
- Store full paths in `sourceHandlerPath` and `builtHandlerPath` entity
fields
## Summary
- Remove `latestVersion` and `publishedVersions` columns from
`LogicFunction` entity
- Remove version parameter from logic function execution, build, and
source code retrieval
- Update all related services, DTOs, utilities, and tests
- Add database migration to drop the version columns
# Introduction
In this PR we're migrating both the `field` and `object` metadata to be
using the new `FlatEntityFromV2` that requires all the
`UniversalFlatEntityExtraProperties` to be spread at the flat entity
root.
This means that we have to update all of their flat declaration
This type swap allows to isole a specific entity migration into his own
type scope and avoid to have everything handled at once
```ts
/**
* Currently under migration but aims to replace FlatEntity afterwards
*/
export type FlatEntityFromV2<
TEntity,
TMetadataName extends AllMetadataName | undefined = undefined,
TInnerFlatEntity extends { __universal?: unknown } = FlatEntityFrom<
TEntity,
TMetadataName
>,
> = Omit<TInnerFlatEntity, '__universal'> & TInnerFlatEntity['__universal'];
```
## Impact
Both object and field:
- Create input transpilation utils
- from entity to flat tools
- mocks
## Note
Removed from the universal extra properties the jsonb properties that do
not contain a serialized
## Next
Next step is to incrementally make the builder and runner expect
`UniversalFlatEntity` for both of these metadata
This way we will be able to fully migrate an entity e2e typesafely
## Context
The previous WorkspaceAuthContext was a single interface with many
optional fields, making it unclear which fields are available in
different authentication scenarios. This made the code harder to reason
about and required runtime checks scattered throughout the codebase.
## Changes
- Introduced a discriminated union type for WorkspaceAuthContext with
four specific variants:
-> UserWorkspaceAuthContext - for authenticated users
-> ApiKeyWorkspaceAuthContext - for API key authentication
-> ApplicationWorkspaceAuthContext - for application-based auth
-> SystemWorkspaceAuthContext - for system/internal operations
- Added type guard functions (isUserAuthContext, isApiKeyAuthContext,
etc.) for safe type narrowing
- Added builder utilities (buildUserAuthContext, buildApiKeyAuthContext,
etc.) to construct each context variant with proper type safety
- Refactored WorkspaceAuthContextMiddleware to use the new builders
instead of constructing a loosely-typed object
- Moved the type definition from twenty-orm/interfaces/ to
core-modules/auth/types/ for better organization
- Updated all consumers across query runners, tool providers, and
modules to use the new type location
## Notes
- I had to query User and WorkspaceMember in some parts of tool module
that were expecting userWorkspaceId but not the rest of
UserWorkspaceAuthContext (that should be required with the new proper
type otherwise it would break a lot of logic and mostly permissions with
the newly added RLS -> This is what we expect from
UserWorkspaceAuthContext and how it's done in the "normal" path in HTTP
middleware)
- WorkspaceMember is in the cache already but ideally we should move
User (And Workspace?) in the cache as well to avoid querying the DB
after each request (this is also valid for HTTP middleware when we
hydrate the Request object btw)
# Introduction
In this PR we're refactoring the `FlatEntity` type to become a superset
of the `UniversalFlatEntity`.
Right now we're storing all the extra properties in `__universal`
property, at some point it might just be sibling to other entity and we
might rely on the `propertiesToCompare` constants and TypeScript
allowing passing a superset type into a smaller subset type
## FromTo utils
The entity to flat entity method now computes the universal information,
standardized a typing and pattern to do
## Example
Also strictly type
