## Context

App registrations track their owner via `ownerWorkspaceId`. Curated /
catalog / CLI apps are seeded **unclaimed** (`ownerWorkspaceId: null`).
Until now there was no way to take ownership of an unclaimed app from
the UI — the only ownership action was **Transfer ownership**, which
requires the caller to already be the owner, so it can't act on a
null-owner app.

This PR adds a way to **claim** an unclaimed app registration, and makes
the owner always visible on the detail page.

## Behaviour

Admin panel → app registration detail → General tab:

- The **Owner** row is now always shown — an **Unclaimed** tag when
there's no owner workspace (previously the row was hidden).
- Danger zone buttons are ownership-aware:
- **Unclaimed** app → **Delete app** + **Claim ownership** (claims it
for the current workspace).
  - **Owned** app → **Delete app** + **Transfer ownership** (unchanged).

Transfer is hidden for unclaimed apps because transferring requires the
caller to already own the registration.

## Changes

**Backend**
- New `claimOwnership` service method: looks the registration up
globally, rejects it if it already has an owner, otherwise assigns
`ownerWorkspaceId` to the caller's workspace.
- New `claimApplicationRegistrationOwnership` mutation, guarded by
`WorkspaceAuthGuard` + `SettingsPermissionGuard(APPLICATIONS)` (same
guards as transfer).
- New `ClaimApplicationRegistrationOwnershipInput` DTO
(`applicationRegistrationId`).

**Frontend**
- **Claim ownership** button (shown only when the registration has no
owner workspace); opens a confirmation modal and calls the new mutation.
- **Transfer ownership** button now renders only for owned
registrations.
- The **Owner** row in the general info card is always displayed, with
an `Unclaimed` tag when there is no owner.

**Generated**
- Regenerated the checked-in GraphQL artifacts (`twenty-front` metadata,
`twenty-client-sdk` schema/types) against the live server so codegen
output matches.

## Verification
- `nx typecheck twenty-front` and `nx typecheck twenty-server` pass.
- `oxlint` + `oxfmt` pass on all changed source files.
- Codegen is idempotent — re-running the three `graphql:generate`
configs + `generate-metadata-client` produces no diff.
- Verified end-to-end on the running app against the seeded unclaimed
`Twenty CLI` registration (Owner shows `Unclaimed`; Danger zone shows
Delete + Claim ownership).

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.
