martmull 3db09e4423 feat(server): refresh application registration on install (#22527)
Part of the app settings architecture cleanup
(twentyhq/core-team-issues#2456) — unifies registration ingestion across
sources.

## Problem

The dev sync, catalog sync and tarball upload flows all refresh the
`applicationRegistration` row (manifest + display columns) at ingestion
time, but the install/upgrade flow never did. Installing or upgrading an
app relied on catalog sync having run beforehand, so a registration
could serve stale display data (name, logo, description, screenshots…)
after an install that shipped a newer manifest.

## Changes

- `doInstallApplication` now refreshes the global registration from the
resolved manifest after all install steps succeed (post-install hook
included, so a hook failure that triggers uninstall can't leave the
registration refreshed for a failed install).
- Downgrade guard: the refresh is skipped when the installed version is
provably older than `latestAvailableVersion` (per-workspace installs of
an older version never downgrade the global registration). Extracted as
a pure util `shouldRefreshApplicationRegistrationOnInstall` with unit
tests:
  - `latestAvailableVersion` null or invalid semver → refresh
- installed ≥ latest → refresh, and `latestAvailableVersion` is bumped
to the installed version
- installed < latest, or installed not valid semver while latest is →
skip
- Asset URLs mirror the existing per-source ingestion behavior: NPM
registrations get manifest `logoUrl`/`screenshots` resolved to registry
CDN URLs (same as catalog sync); tarball and other sources persist the
manifest as-is (same as tarball upload).
- `updateFromManifest` gains an optional `latestAvailableVersion` param
(same conditional-spread style as `sourceType`).
- `ApplicationRegistrationModule` added to `ApplicationInstallModule`
imports (no cycle: nothing in the registration module's import graph
imports the install module).

The dev sync flow (`syncRegistrationMetadata`) already goes through
`updateFromManifest` and writes the display columns — verified, no
change needed.

## Verification

- New unit spec: 6 cases on the guard util
- `npx jest "application-registration|application-install|marketplace"`
→ 3 suites, 21 tests passed
- `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` → success
- `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` → clean

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.
