martmull 07a921f8ca Add Document Generator SDK app + step-by-step tutorial (#22522)
## What & why

This adds a **guided tutorial** that teaches the Twenty SDK by building
one real, useful app end to end — plus the finished app itself, ready
for the marketplace.

The app, **Document Generator**, turns reusable templates into
personalized documents using CRM data: write a template once with
`{{placeholders}}`, then generate a filled-in document for any Person or
Company from the command menu, an AI agent, or a workflow.

## Two parts

**1. The app — `packages/twenty-apps/public/document-generator`**

Each capability maps to one tutorial chapter:
- **Data:** `documentTemplate` + `document` objects, fields, and a
bidirectional relation
- **Logic:** a single `generate-document` handler exposed as an **AI
tool**, a **workflow action**, and an **HTTP POST route**; plus a public
**HTML view route**
- **UI:** two views + sidebar navigation, a **command-menu item** (on
Person selection) that opens a **React front component**
- **AI:** an agent + skill; a default application role; marketplace
metadata + logo
- **Tests:** unit tests for the template renderer + an install
integration test

**2. The tutorial —
`packages/twenty-docs/.../apps/tutorials/document-generator/`**

A six-chapter series under **Developers › Apps › Tutorial** (Overview →
Data model → Generating documents → HTTP routes → Building the UI → AI
agent → Publishing). Minimal prose, paste-ready code, inline links to
the matching reference pages, and real screenshots. Registers a new
"Tutorial" nav group and regenerates `docs.json` + the navigation
template.

## Verification

Validated against a running Twenty instance (`twenty-app-dev` on
`:2020`):
- `twenty dev --once` installs cleanly (28 metadata objects created)
- Generated a real document from a Person — placeholders resolved (name,
job title, `company.name`, email), zero missing tokens
- Command menu → front component → generate flow works in the UI
- Public HTML view route renders the document
- App gates green: `yarn lint` (0/0), `yarn typecheck`, `yarn test:unit`
(7/7)

All screenshots in the tutorial are captured from this run.

## Notes
- Left out per-app CI workflows (`.github/workflows`) to keep scope
tight — happy to add them if wanted.

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.
