Thomas Trompette 6447b7f935 feat(workflow): make the flow atom authoritative for version content, read core behind a flag (#23499)
## What

The frontend half of the workflow-version read switch, plus the small
server query it consumes. Two ideas:

1. **One hook owns where content comes from.**
`useWorkflowVersionContent(workflowVersionId)` returns `{ trigger, steps
}` from the workspace record when `IS_WORKFLOW_VERSION_IN_CORE_ENABLED`
is off (default), and from the new `workflowVersionContent` core query
when on. Switching the source later (core-only, after the column drop)
is a change inside this one hook.
2. **`flowComponentState` becomes authoritative for the builder.** The
canvas, diagram and step output schemas derive from the jotai atom; the
atom is seeded once per version through the hook above; mutations keep
it up to date.

## Why the seeding change is required

Today `WorkflowDiagramEffect` re-seeds the atom from the Apollo record
on **every** `currentVersion` identity change. That has two
consequences:

- Three of the five step/edge hooks (`delete step`, `create edge`,
`delete edge`) never write the atom themselves; they only write the
record and the re-seed papers over it.
- The model breaks the moment content comes from a source mutations do
not write (i.e. core): the stale fetch would be re-applied over every
optimistic edit, and your just-added step would vanish from the canvas.

So the atom is now seeded **once per version**, and
`useUpdateWorkflowVersionCache` applies the mutation's
`stepsDiff`/`triggerDiff` to the atom directly. All five step/edge hooks
get that through their existing call, which closes the three-hook gap in
one move. The step-update, trigger and tidy-up hooks write the atom too.
The record-cache writes are all kept while `trigger`/`steps` still live
on the record (dropped later with the columns).

## The dead wire, now the refresh path

`shouldWorkflowRefetchRequestFamilyState` was set by
`WorkflowSSESubscribeEffect` (reconnect, other-tab create) and
**consumed by nothing**. It is now the external-refresh path: when set,
the builder refetches content and reseeds. Known trade-off: while
connected, another tab's edits no longer live-patch the canvas through
record cache updates (they arrive on reconnect, version switch or
reload). Given concurrent editing of one draft has no conflict handling
anyway, that seemed acceptable; easy to extend the SSE effect to set the
flag on update events if we want live propagation back.

## Untouched by design

- **Run visualizer**: feeds the same atom from the immutable
`workflowRun.state.flow` snapshot; that duality (version content or run
snapshot) is exactly why the atom stays separate from the record store.
- **Version visualizer** (read-only): reseeds on content change, safe
because nothing writes its instance optimistically.
- Peripheral readers of `currentVersion.trigger/steps` (test-workflow
command, headless command enrichment, if-else body, etc.) still read the
record. Correct while dual-writing continues; they move to the content
hook before workspace content writes stop (tracked in the migration
plan).

## Verification

- `nx typecheck` green on both packages; `oxfmt` + `oxlint --type-aware`
green on all 16 changed files
- Front unit tests: 134 suites / 993 tests green (the two hook tests
gained the visualizer instance context their hooks now require)
- New server integration test for `workflowVersionContent`
- **Live click-through pending**: step create/delete/duplicate, edge
create/delete, trigger edit, tidy-up, draft create/discard, activation,
version viewer, run viewer, with the flag off and on. The failure mode
this PR guards against (an edit vanishing from the canvas) does not show
up in typecheck or unit tests.

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.
