Etienne 39e00d5853 feat(workflow): expected output schema for runtime-output steps + validation (#21744)
## Summary

Extends the workflow validation layer (introduced in #21422) and adds a
new
"expected output schema" capability for steps whose output structure is
only
known at runtime.

Some workflow steps (HTTP Request, Code, Logic Function, AI Agent
(coming soon), Webhook
trigger) don't have a statically known output shape, so downstream steps
can't
resolve `{{step.x.y}}` variable paths or validate them. This PR lets
users
declare a **sample/expected output** for those steps, derives an output
schema
from it, and uses that schema both to power variable resolution and to
surface
validation issues at build time.

## What's included

### Expected output schema (shared schemas + types)
- New `expectedOutputSchemaShape` reused across the HTTP request, code,
logic
function and AI agent action settings schemas, plus the webhook trigger
  schema (`expectedOutputSchema` optional loose object).
- Mirrored on the server-side action/trigger settings types.

### Output schema computation (server)
- `workflow-schema.workspace-service` now computes a step's output
schema from
  the user-declared `expectedOutputSchema` sample (via
`getOutputSchemaFromValue`) when no statically computed schema is
available.

### Validation layer (server)
- `STEP_HAS_NO_VARIABLE_REFERENCE` (warning): flags steps of
`VARIABLE_CONSUMING_ACTION_TYPES` (HTTP_REQUEST, CODE, LOGIC_FUNCTION,
SEND_EMAIL, record CRUD) that reference no upstream variable.
- `LOGIC_FUNCTION_OUTPUT_SCHEMA_MISMATCH` /
`AI_AGENT_OUTPUT_SCHEMA_MISMATCH`
(warnings): compare the declared output schema against the expected
sample
using the new shared `getOutputSchemaMismatchIssues` util (missing keys,
  leaf/object mismatches, type mismatches).
- Trigger is now validated alongside steps (trigger type requirements +
  trigger variable references).
- Validation issues no longer return both `suggestions` and
`availablePaths`
  when they are identical (avoids redundant, costly payloads).

### Shared utilities
- New `getOutputSchemaMismatchIssues` (+ tests) in
`twenty-shared/logic-function`.
- Moved `agentResponseSchemaToOutputSchema` from `twenty-front` into
  `twenty-shared/ai` so it can be reused on both sides.

### Frontend
- New `WorkflowExpectedOutputBodyInput` component (JSON sample editor
with
validation) used by HTTP request, code, logic function and AI agent step
  editors.
- New `resolvePersistedStepOutputSchema` util + `useStepsOutputSchema`
update:
  resolves a step's output schema from `outputSchema`, falling back to
  `expectedOutputSchema`, with an AI_AGENT default.
- HTTP request / code / logic function editors persist
`expectedOutputSchema`
  and derive `outputSchema` from it.
- Webhook trigger default settings include `expectedOutputSchema`.


BONUS : iterator loop validation

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.
