Félix Malfait 009e7e05f2 feat(workflow): use authContext in CRUD services for Common API migration (#16857)
## Summary

This PR migrates workflow CRUD operations to properly use the Common API
layer's authentication context, addressing the issues from the reverted
PR #15875.

The original PR was reverted because the Common API required passing
either a User or an API Key for authentication, which was problematic
for workflows. Since then, the "Application" concept was introduced in
the Common API layer, allowing for token injection in serverless
functions.

This PR leverages the "Twenty Standard Application" concept for
non-manual workflow triggers, providing a clean authentication path
without the issues of user impersonation.

## Changes

### Core Infrastructure
- **RecordCrudExecutionContext**: Replace `workspaceId` with full
`authContext`
- **WorkflowExecutionContext**: Add `authContext` field to carry
authentication info
- **ToolGeneratorContext/ToolSpecification**: Add optional `authContext`
support for tool generation

### Authentication Flow
- **WorkflowExecutionContextService**: Build appropriate auth context
based on trigger type:
- **Manual triggers**: Use user's workspace auth context with their role
permissions
- **Non-manual triggers**: Use Twenty Standard Application auth context
(bypasses permission checks or uses default serverless function role)
- **ApplicationService**: Add `findTwentyStandardApplicationOrThrow`
method to retrieve the system application
- **UserWorkspaceService**: Make relations configurable in
`getUserWorkspaceForUserOrThrow` to load only what's needed

### CRUD Services Migration
All 5 record CRUD services now receive `authContext` instead of
`workspaceId`:
- `CreateRecordService`
- `UpdateRecordService`
- `DeleteRecordService`
- `FindRecordsService`
- `UpsertRecordService`

### Workflow Actions
All record CRUD workflow actions pass `executionContext.authContext` to
the services:
- `CreateRecordWorkflowAction`
- `UpdateRecordWorkflowAction`
- `DeleteRecordWorkflowAction`
- `FindRecordsWorkflowAction`
- `UpsertRecordWorkflowAction`

### AI Agent Integration
- AI agent workflow action passes auth context to agent executor
- Tool provider and MCP protocol service support auth context
propagation

## Benefits
-  Proper authentication for workflow CRUD operations via Common API
-  Non-manual triggers use system application context (no user
impersonation issues)
-  Manual triggers preserve user permissions correctly
-  Foundation for better permission handling in automated workflows
-  Cleaner separation between user-initiated and system-initiated
operations

Does the world need another CRM?

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in Open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
