## Problem
The merge queue is red. Two e2e tests fail consistently on `merge_group`
runs, both timing out while clicking `Settings`:
- `tests/create-kanban-view.spec.ts` ("Create Industry Select Field")
- `tests/authentication/signup_invite_email.spec.ts` ("Go to Settings
and copy invite link")
The earlier tokenPair localStorage fix (#21507 / e2e read in #21519)
restored login, so auth works again — but the navigation/settings polish
in #21523 then **moved the Settings entry out of the main app navigation
and into the workspace switcher dropdown** ("Moves Settings below
Support in the workspace switcher menu").
The e2e tests still looked for a top-level `getByRole('button', { name:
'Settings' })`, which no longer exists, so they timed out.
## Fix
Reach Settings the new way — open the workspace switcher dropdown, then
click the `Settings` link (it is now an `UndecoratedLink`/`MenuItem`,
role `link`, in `MultiWorkspaceDropdownDefaultComponents`):
- `lib/pom/leftMenu.ts`: `goToSettings()` now opens `workspace-dropdown`
first; `settingsTab` locator switched from `button` to `link`.
- `tests/create-kanban-view.spec.ts`: open the workspace dropdown before
clicking the Settings link.
- `tests/authentication/signup_invite_email.spec.ts`: the post-signup
"logged in" assertion now checks the `workspace-dropdown` is visible
instead of the removed Settings button.
## Testing
Triggering the merge-queue e2e suite via the `run-merge-queue` label on
this PR.

## Summary
- **Merge queue optimization**: Created a dedicated
`ci-merge-queue.yaml` workflow that only runs Playwright E2E tests on
`ubuntu-latest-8-cores`. Removed `merge_group` trigger from all 7
existing CI workflows (front, server, shared, website, sdk, zapier,
docker-compose). The merge queue goes from ~30+ parallel jobs to a
single focused E2E job.
- **Label-based merge queue simulation**: Added `run-merge-queue` label
support so developers can trigger the exact merge queue E2E pipeline on
any open PR before it enters the queue.
- **Prettier in lint**: Chained `prettier --check` into `lint` and
`prettier --write` into `lint --configuration=fix` across `nx.json`
defaults, `twenty-front`, and `twenty-server`. Prettier formatting
errors are now caught by `lint` and fixed by `lint:fix` /
`lint:diff-with-main --configuration=fix`.
## After merge (manual repo settings)
Update GitHub branch protection required status checks:
1. Remove old per-workflow merge queue checks (`ci-front-status-check`,
`ci-e2e-status-check`, `ci-server-status-check`, etc.)
2. Add `ci-merge-queue-status-check` as the required check for the merge
queue
## Summary
- **Settings selector**: The Settings navigation item is now rendered as
a `<button>` (via `NavigationDrawerItem` with `onClick`) instead of an
`<a>` link (with `to`). Updated `leftMenu.ts` POM and
`create-kanban-view.spec.ts` to use `getByRole('button', { name:
'Settings' })`.
- **create-record URL field**: The Linkedin field interaction was
missing an initial label click to trigger the hover portal rendering.
Added `recordFieldList.getByText('Linkedin').first().click()` before the
value click, matching the pattern used by the working Emails field.
## Test plan
- [ ] E2E `signup_invite_email.spec.ts` passes (uses
`leftMenu.goToSettings()`)
- [ ] E2E `create-kanban-view.spec.ts` passes (uses Settings click
directly)
- [ ] E2E `create-record.spec.ts` passes (Linkedin URL field
interaction)
- [ ] Existing passing E2E tests remain green

In this PR,
- current basic E2E tests are fixed, and some were added, covering some
basic scenarios
- some tests avec been commented out, until we decide whether they are
worth fixing
The next steps are
- evaluate the flakiness of the tests. Once they've proved not to be
flaky, we should add more tests + re-write the current ones not using
aria-label (cf @lucasbordeau indication).
- We will add them back to the development flow
- Clean Playwright's configuration:
- Remove artificial 500ms delay between each step
- Group all tests under a `chrome` project relying on a `setup` project
to get an authentication state which all tests can reuse
- Changes on the `Sign up with invite link via email` test:
- Generate a new email for each test trial, as previously it was failing
when run many times
- Make deleting the account part of the test; if we write other tests
for account sign-up, we'll prefer to delete the accounts with an HTTP
call to speed up things
- Added some assertions to ensure we reached steps when expected, as we
removed the 500ms delay between each step, and it made some assertions
fail
- Wrote new tests for workflows:
- Created `Create workflow`, a test asserting we can create a workflow
from the record table
- Created `Create simple workflow`, a test asserting we can create a
simple flow; I will add more assertions to this test and write other
tests once this first PR is approved
- I make HTTP calls to delete and destroy workflows after they run to
keep the database clean
- Added a data-testid to ensure we focus elements from the Cmd+K; our
selectors are not strong – see `getByRole('textbox')` – and I preferred
to scope them to a root element
- Added an `aria-label` to a button
