martmull 3c13dc1ab8 feat(twenty-sdk): include app readme in published package (#22431)
## Context

When running `yarn twenty app:publish`, no README was included in the
npm-published app package.

Closes twentyhq/core-team-issues#2632

## What changed

- Added `copy-readme-to-output.ts`, which finds the app's root readme
file (matched case-insensitively, preferring the markdown variant,
mirroring how npm ranks README candidates) and copies it into the build
output directory (`.twenty/output/`).
- Wired `copyReadmeToOutput` into `buildApplication` — the shared build
path used by `publish`, `build`, and `dev` — so the readme is present
when `npm publish`/`npm pack` runs from the output directory. npm only
ships a README when the file lives in the package root, which for
published apps is `.twenty/output/`.

The readme is not tracked in the manifest checksums; it is a pure npm
packaging artifact, so it is only copied into the output directory and
does not affect app installation/validation.

## Tests

- Added unit tests for `findReadmeFileName` (case-insensitivity,
markdown preference, ignoring unrelated files) and `copyReadmeToOutput`
(copies the readme into the output dir; no-ops when the app has no
readme).

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
