## Context
While upgrading, a workspace migration failed with:
```
[Runner] [install-perf] migration failed after 20 action(s): Migration action 'create' for 'pageLayoutWidget' (universalIdentifier: f473b435-...) failed
```
The action names the failure but not *why* — unique violation? FK? which
key/row? The real cause is captured but was getting flattened away
before it reached anyone reading it.
## Root cause of the bad diagnostics
When a migration action fails, the action handler captures the real
error (typically a TypeORM `QueryFailedError` from `repository.insert`)
into
`WorkspaceMigrationRunnerException.errors.{metadata,workspaceSchema,actionTranspilation}`
and re-throws it intact. Caller-side formatters surface it — but
`formatUpgradeErrorForStorage` (read by the `upgrade-status` command)
flattened a nested `QueryFailedError` to just its `.message`, dropping
the PostgreSQL `code`, `detail` (the exact failing key/value) and
`query`.
## What this PR does
`formatUpgradeErrorForStorage` now **recurses** into nested causes, so a
wrapped `QueryFailedError` keeps its full driver detail.
Surfacing/logging stays a caller concern (the runner already produces
and re-throws the structured exception) — this PR only fixes the
formatter that was dropping detail. Added a unit test for the `create
pageLayoutWidget` unique-violation case.
### Stored upgrade error — before
```
Metadata error: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "IDX_..."
```
### After
```
Metadata error:
[QueryFailedError] duplicate key value violates unique constraint "IDX_..."
PostgreSQL code: 23505
Detail: Key (universalIdentifier)=(f473b435-...) already exists.
Query: INSERT INTO "core"."pageLayoutWidget" VALUES ($1)
```
## Scope
Diagnostics only — it surfaces the cause, it does not change migration
behavior. The underlying `create pageLayoutWidget` failure (likely a
unique/FK violation when upgrading existing workspaces, downstream of
#21673) is a separate follow-up once the exact cause is captured.
## Note / possible follow-up
`workspaceMigrationRunnerExceptionFormatter` (the GraphQL/app-install
surfacing path) has the same flattening issue — it reads
`error.errors.metadata.code`, but for a `QueryFailedError` the pg code
lives on `driverError.code`, so it falls back to `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`
and loses `detail`. Left out of scope here; happy to fix in a follow-up
if wanted.
## Tests
- New unit test for a `QueryFailedError` nested in an `EXECUTION_FAILED`
exception; snapshots updated.
- `oxlint`, `oxfmt --check`, `nx typecheck twenty-server`, and the
affected jest suites pass.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
