Félix Malfait 563e27831b Clean up tool output architecture: remove wrappers, enforce ToolOutput everywhere (#19321)
## Summary

- **Remove `ExecuteToolResult` wrapper** — `execute_tool` is now a
transparent dispatcher that returns the raw `ToolOutput` from underlying
tools. No more `{ toolName, result }` envelope.
- **Type the entire execution chain as `Promise<ToolOutput>`** — from
`ToolExecutorService.dispatch()` through `resolveAndExecute()` to
`execute_tool.execute()`. Zero `Promise<unknown>` remaining in the tool
layer.
- **Use `Extract<ToolExecutionRef, ...>`** for dispatch methods,
enabling exhaustive switch checking and removing `as never` casts.
- **Relax `ToolOutput.result` to accept `null`** — removes `??
undefined` hacks at the boundary with logic function results.
- **Enforce 1-export-per-file** across tool type/interface files (split
`tool-descriptor.type.ts`, `tool-provider.interface.ts`, `tool.type.ts`,
`tool-output.type.ts`, `tool-executor.service.ts`).
- **Simplify error handling** — `wrapWithErrorHandler` and all
meta-errors (tool not found, tool excluded) now return consistent
`ToolOutput` shape with `error` as a plain string.
- **Frontend reads output directly** — removed `unwrapToolOutput`
utility; `ToolStepRenderer` and `ThinkingStepsDisplay` extract
`message`/`error` from the raw output with simple type guards.
- **Add permission error detection** for email tools via
`isInsufficientPermissionsError`, guiding the AI model to suggest
account reconnection instead of hallucinating about visibility settings.

## Test plan

- [ ] AI chat tool calls return visible output (not "null") in the UI
- [ ] Tool errors display correctly in the JSON tree
- [ ] Email draft/send tools return actionable permission errors
- [ ] Code interpreter output renders correctly
- [ ] Thinking steps display tool outputs properly

Why Twenty

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
