Félix Malfait 0baa333809 feat(lint): forbid data mutations in fast instance command up() (#21547)
## Why

Fast instance commands run in the ArgoCD **PreSync** hook, before the
new pods roll. A bulk `UPDATE`/`INSERT`/`DELETE` held in the **same
transaction** as an `ADD COLUMN`/`ALTER` keeps an `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE`
lock on the table for the whole write, blocking every read of it. That
is what froze prod during the 2.13 `isUIReadOnly → isUIEditable` rename
— a bulk `UPDATE "fieldMetadata"` inside the same `up()` transaction as
the `ADD COLUMN`s → read timeouts → failed PreSync → aborted sync.

@charlesBochet already caught this exact pattern by hand on #21527
("data migration => make a slow instance command :)"). This turns that
manual review into something CI enforces.

## What

New oxlint rule **`twenty/no-data-mutation-in-fast-instance-command`**:
- Flags statement-leading `UPDATE`/`INSERT`/`DELETE`/`MERGE` passed to
`.query(...)` **inside `up()`** of a `*-instance-command-fast-*` file.
- Allows: schema DDL (`ALTER`/`CREATE`/`DROP`); `ON DELETE CASCADE` / a
column named `updatedAt` (not statement-leading, so never matched);
rollback DML in `down()`; and data migrations in **slow** commands'
`runDataMigration()`.
- The error message points the author straight at the slow-command
pattern.

Enabled as `error` in `twenty-server`.

## Grandfathering

Scoping to `up()` means **only one** existing file violates the rule:
the already-shipped 2.13 rename command. It's recorded complete in cloud
and must not be rewritten, so it's grandfathered with a documented
file-level `oxlint-disable` (the comment makes clear it's an exception,
not a precedent). The four other fast commands that contain DML keep
theirs in `down()` and are correctly unaffected.

## Tests

- 9 RuleTester cases — valid: DDL, FK cascade, `updatedAt`, `down()`
DML, slow-command DML, non-upgrade files; invalid:
`UPDATE`/`INSERT`/`DELETE` in `up()`.
- Verified end-to-end with oxlint: a throwaway violating file → 1 error;
all 141 upgrade-command files → 0 errors; full oxlint-rules suite
225/225; typecheck clean.

Part of the v2.13 deploy post-mortem follow-ups.

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:

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.
