First step of unifying application behaviors across sources (NPM, TARBALL, LOCAL), following up on #22868. No storage layout changes. ## Problem Marketplace/tarball installs (`ApplicationInstallService`) and CLI dev sync (`ApplicationDevelopmentService`) each implemented the second half of application delivery — metadata sync, SDK client generation, registration refresh — with quietly diverging behavior: - Install decided SDK regeneration on `!isVersionUpgrade` (application row exists), dev sync on `!application.version`. The version-based check is the robust one: a failed first install leaves an application row without a version, and the row-based check then skipped SDK generation on retry unless the schema changed. - Install refreshed the registration manifest (`updateFromManifest`) without syncing its variable schemas, while catalog sync, tarball upload, and dev sync all do. An NPM install that bumped `latestAvailableVersion` with new `serverVariables` left the registration's variable schemas stale until the next catalog cron. - The guards protecting shared registrations from workspace writes (npm-sourced or not owned by the workspace) lived only inside dev sync's `syncRegistrationMetadata`. ## Change New `ApplicationManifestApplyService` (application-manifest module) owns those steps for both flows: - `applyManifestToWorkspace`: `synchronizeFromManifest` + SDK client generation when it's the first successful apply (no persisted version) or the schema changed. Used by install and dev sync. - `refreshRegistrationFromManifest`: guarded registration update + variable schema sync. Callers acting for a workspace (dev sync) pass `onlyIfOwnedByWorkspaceId`, moving the npm/ownership guard into the shared service; installs pass `latestAvailableVersion` + `preventVersionDowngrade` as before. Returns whether anything was written so dependent side effects (registration asset store in dev sync) skip together with it. - `ApplicationRegistrationService.updateFromManifest` now returns whether it wrote, so variable schemas are only synced from manifests that were actually applied — previously a downgraded install would still have synced variables from the older manifest if we had naively added the sync there. Install and dev services lose the duplicated logic (and their direct `SdkClientGenerationService` / variable-service dependencies); hooks and file writes stay where they were. ## Behavior deltas (all deliberate) - NPM/TARBALL installs now sync registration variable schemas when they refresh the registration. - Retrying a failed first install regenerates the SDK client even when the schema diff is empty. ## Follow-ups (agreed plan, separate PRs) Single semver version gate; one registration-metadata writer with lock coverage for dev-sync/tarball; unified upgrade incl. TARBALL; recoverable upgrades + stale file cleanup; tarball storage decoupled from the owner workspace; orphan cleanup cron; faster public-asset serving (ETag/304); parallel install file writes; PREBUILT execution mode for app logic functions. ## Validation - New spec `application-manifest-apply.service.spec.ts` (9 tests: SDK generation matrix, ownership/npm guards, downgrade-skip short-circuits variable sync) - All 26 application suites pass; typecheck, oxlint (type-aware) and oxfmt green on twenty-server --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_015L4zvAL9bsk7azYkbhcZSg)_ <!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. --> <a href="https://cubic.dev/pr/twentyhq/twenty/pull/22921?utm_source=github" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-no-image-dialog="true"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-light.svg"><img alt="Review in cubic" src="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"></picture></a> <!-- End of auto-generated description by cubic. -->

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

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.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
