Charles Bochet 37b986aa4b security: vendor @genql/cli codegen to drop undici/native-fetch (#21339)
## What

Vendors a narrowed copy of
[`@genql/cli@3.0.5`](https://github.com/remorses/genql) (MIT) into
`packages/twenty-client-sdk/src/generate/genql/` and repoints the two
client generators at it, then removes `@genql/cli` from
`twenty-client-sdk`, `twenty-sdk` and `create-twenty-app`.

## Why

`@genql/cli` was used **only** to generate the typed GraphQL client from
an SDL string. It is unmaintained and pulls in vulnerable/abandoned
transitives — `undici@5` (**30 Dependabot alerts**), `native-fetch`,
`listr`, `yargs`, etc. None of these were ever executed by Twenty: the
sole consumer of `undici`/`native-fetch` is `@genql/cli`'s live-endpoint
schema-introspection path, and Twenty always passes a schema string,
never an endpoint.

Removing the package eliminates the dependency at the source — for
Twenty and for scaffolded end-user apps.

## What changed vs upstream

The vendored copy (`genql/README.md` + `genql/LICENSE`) keeps the
`render/` and `runtime/` trees verbatim and narrows the orchestration:

- **Dropped the endpoint/introspection path** (`schema/fetchSchema.ts`)
— the only `undici`/`native-fetch`/`qs` consumer.
- **Dropped `listr`** — generation tasks run as plain sequential `async`
functions (file contents unchanged).
- **Replaced `fs-extra`/`mkdirp`/`rimraf`** with `node:fs`.
- **Runtime templates are imported as `?raw`** and bundled, instead of
read from `node_modules` at generation time.
- **Kept `prettier@^2.8` and `@graphql-tools/*`** so the generated
output is byte-for-byte identical.

## Verification

- **Byte-identical output**: regenerating the metadata client from its
committed schema produces a recursive-diff-clean result vs the previous
`@genql/cli` output (including the copied `runtime/` folder). The core
client generates and esbuild-bundles cleanly.
- The public `twenty-client-sdk/generate` barrel API is unchanged
(twenty-server / twenty-sdk consumers unaffected).
- `undici@^5`, `native-fetch`, `@genql/cli`, `listr`, `yargs@^15` and
`subscriptions-transport-ws@0.9` are gone from `yarn.lock` (net −364
lines).
- `twenty-client-sdk` and `twenty-sdk` typecheck, lint and build;
`twenty-client-sdk` tests pass (9/9).

## Notes

- The vendored folder is excluded from `oxlint`/`oxfmt` (it is
third-party code, with `@ts-nocheck` on the verbatim renderers,
mirroring the generated output).
- Stacks conceptually on #21334 (drops `@genql/runtime`); the two are
independent and only overlap trivially in `yarn.lock`. `@genql/runtime`
is intentionally left for that PR.

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.
