Thomas Trompette 105f9565a5 feat(workflow): surface manual-trigger payload + metadata in variable picker (#21692)
## Summary

Step 2 of the manual-trigger output schema restructuring (expand →
display → migrate → contract).

Builds on the now-merged #21676 (which expanded the runtime payload to
serve `payload` and `metadata` siblings at the trigger root). This PR
**surfaces** those in the variable picker as nested, expandable nodes:

- `trigger.payload.{record fields}` — the record(s) that triggered the
run
- `trigger.metadata.workspaceMemberId` — who triggered it

The flat root fields (`trigger.id`, etc.) remain available, so existing
saved variable references keep working until a later migration phase
moves them.

### Changes
- **twenty-shared**: metadata/payload label constants +
`build-manual-trigger-metadata-node` util + barrel exports.
- **twenty-front**: `computeStepOutputSchema` MANUAL branch now nests
`payload` (RecordNode for SINGLE_RECORD, array Node for BULK_RECORDS,
omitted for GLOBAL) and `metadata`; `ManualTriggerOutputSchema` type
updated to `{ payload?; metadata }`.
- **twenty-server**: `computeTriggerOutputSchemaFromAvailability`
mirrors the same nested shape for server-side validation.

The key is `metadata` (not `_metadata`) — custom fields can't start with
`_`, so collision risk was deemed acceptable.

## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx build twenty-shared`
- [x] `computeStepOutputSchema` unit tests pass (55)
- [x] Manual: create a manual-trigger workflow (GLOBAL / single-record /
bulk), confirm the picker shows `payload` and `metadata` as expandable
folders and that selecting a field yields `{{trigger.payload.<field>}}`
/ `{{trigger.metadata.workspaceMemberId}}`

> Note: server typecheck has pre-existing unrelated failures on main
(Stripe billing mocks, gmail mocks); none touch workflow files.

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.
