Miguel 873f8ad24c feat(helm): parametrize liveness, readiness and startup probes for server (#22268)
Closes #22267
 
## What
 
Exposes `startupProbe`, `livenessProbe` and `readinessProbe` as
configurable values under `server.*` in `values.yaml`, with sensible
defaults that work out of the box on current Twenty releases. Also
switches the probe path from `/` to `/healthz`.
 
## Why
 
The probes are hardcoded in the chart template today, and the defaults
are no longer realistic for the current product.
 
On a clean install of `v2.16.1` the server takes about **111 seconds**
to reach `Nest application successfully started`. The current hardcoded
`livenessProbe` only gives the pod **110 seconds** before killing it
(`initialDelaySeconds: 60` + `failureThreshold: 5` x `periodSeconds:
10`). The pod is killed roughly 1 second before it would have been
healthy and the deployment enters `CrashLoopBackOff` indefinitely.
 
Twenty's boot time grows release by release as new Nest modules are
added (v2.16 already registers 16 minor versions worth of upgrade
commands at startup), so the chart's hardcoded defaults will keep
drifting away from a working configuration.
 
The probe path `/` returns the SPA HTML (or a 404 depending on routing),
not a health response. The correct endpoint is `/healthz`, which returns
`{"status":"ok","info":{},"error":{},"details":{}}` from a dedicated
Nest controller.
 
## How
 
Uses the same `{{- with }}` pattern already present in the chart
(`extraEnv`, `extraVolumeMounts`, and the four scheduling fields added
in #22233):
 
```yaml
{{- with .Values.server.startupProbe }}
startupProbe:
  {{- toYaml . | nindent 12 }}
{{- end }}
{{- with .Values.server.livenessProbe }}
livenessProbe:
  {{- toYaml . | nindent 12 }}
{{- end }}
{{- with .Values.server.readinessProbe }}
readinessProbe:
  {{- toYaml . | nindent 12 }}
{{- end }}
```
 
This pattern lets the user disable any probe by setting it to `null`,
override individual fields by providing the full block, or fall back to
the defaults shipped in `values.yaml`.
 
## Defaults
 
```yaml
server:
  startupProbe:
    httpGet:
      path: /healthz
      port: http-tcp
    periodSeconds: 10
    failureThreshold: 30   # 5 minutes total boot grace
  livenessProbe:
    httpGet:
      path: /healthz
      port: http-tcp
    periodSeconds: 30
    failureThreshold: 3
  readinessProbe:
    httpGet:
      path: /healthz
      port: http-tcp
    periodSeconds: 10
    failureThreshold: 3
```
 
## Scope
 
This PR only touches the server Deployment. The worker Deployment is
intentionally out of scope: it does not expose HTTP, had no probes
before this change, and any probe added there would need a different
shape (`exec` or `tcpSocket`). It can be addressed in a follow-up if
maintainers want it.
 
## Backward compatibility
 
For any cluster that booted Twenty correctly with the previous defaults
(boot time under 5 minutes), `helm template` output is functionally
equivalent: the new `startupProbe` covers the boot window, then
`livenessProbe` and `readinessProbe` take over with similar semantics.
 
For clusters where the previous defaults were already failing (such as
this one — see "Validation" below), the new defaults make the install
work out of the box.
 
Setting any probe value to `null` disables that probe entirely.
 
## Schema note
 
`values.schema.json` updated with `startupProbe`, `livenessProbe` and
`readinessProbe` under `server`, all typed as `["object", "null"]` to
honour the disable-by-null contract.
 
## Validation
 
- `helm lint` passes.
- `helm template` with default values renders the three probe blocks on
the server Deployment.
- `helm template` with one probe set to `null` correctly omits that
probe.
- `helm template` with overridden values renders the user-supplied probe
configuration.
- Live install validated on a multi-node Kubernetes cluster running
Twenty v2.16.1 on an Oracle Cloud ARM64 worker node. With the new
`startupProbe` the server reaches `Ready 1/1` in around 2 minutes from
fresh pod creation. With the previous hardcoded probes the same pod
entered `CrashLoopBackOff` indefinitely (276 restarts in 21 hours
observed before applying the fix).

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.
