Raphaël Bosi 0dc6272da5 Remove twenty-ui reexport from the SDK and use twenty-ui directly (#22326)
## What & why

Removes the `twenty-sdk/ui` reexport. Apps now use Twenty UI by
installing
[`twenty-ui@1.0.0-alpha.1`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/twenty-ui/v/1.0.0-alpha.1)
from npm and importing its subpaths directly. The reexport re-exported
types that didn't resolve, forcing typecheck workarounds.

## Changes

- **twenty-sdk**: delete `src/ui/index.ts`, drop the `./ui` export,
remove it from the browser vite build, and rewire the CLI manifest-mock
to `twenty-ui` (`.css` falls through to the empty-CSS loader).
`twenty-ui` stays a devDependency for the CLI fixture tests.
- **Renderer + create-twenty-app template**: import from `twenty-ui`
subpaths; the template pins `twenty-ui@1.0.0-alpha.1`.
- **Docs**: new "Using Twenty UI components" section (install + subpath
imports + `useTheme()` for theme tokens), codex references, and the
cross-doc-contract validator.

The `twenty-for-twenty` / `twenty-slack` example apps are intentionally
left on `twenty-sdk/ui`: they consume the published SDK (which still
ships `./ui`), and `twenty-ui@1.0.0-alpha.1` requires react 19 + a
`monaco-editor` peer the react-18 apps can't satisfy. They migrate once
the SDK is republished.

  • Developers (24 pages) - Technical documentation for developers
  • Twenty UI (25 pages) - UI component library documentation

🚀 Local Development

To run the documentation locally:

# From the twenty monorepo root

The documentation will be available at http://localhost:3000

📝 Editing Content

Adding/Editing Pages

  1. Edit MDX files in the appropriate directory:

    • user-guide/ - User documentation
    • developers/ - Developer documentation
    • twenty-ui/ - Component documentation
  2. Update navigation/base-structure.json if you need to change the tab/group hierarchy or add/remove pages. This file stays in the repo and is not uploaded to Crowdin.

  3. Keep the translation template (navigation/navigation.template.json) in sync by running yarn docs:generate-navigation-template after editing the base structure. This template is the only file that should be pushed to Crowdin.

  4. For each translated locale pulled from Crowdin, ensure a packages/twenty-docs/l/<language>/navigation.json file exists. These files contain labels only; page slugs always come from the base structure.

  5. Run yarn docs:generate to rebuild docs.json from the base structure + translated labels.

MDX Format

All documentation pages use MDX format with frontmatter:

---
title: Page Title
description: Page description
image: /images/path/to/image.png
---

Your content here...

Adding Images

  1. Place images in the /images/ directory
  2. Reference them in MDX: ![Alt text](/images/your-image.png)
  3. Or use Mintlify Frame component:
<Frame>
  <img src="/images/your-image.png" alt="Description" />
</Frame>

🔧 Configuration

  • navigation/base-structure.json - Source of truth for tabs, groups, icons, and page slugs (English only, not sent to Crowdin).
  • navigation/navigation.template.json - Generated translation template (labels only) that is uploaded to Crowdin.
  • l/<language>/navigation.json - Locale-specific label files pulled from Crowdin.
  • docs.json - Generated Mintlify configuration (always run yarn docs:generate after modifying navigation files).
  • package.json - Package dependencies and scripts (docs:generate, docs:generate-navigation-template, …).
  • project.json - Nx workspace configuration
