Abdul Rahman 9a7c0f25a5 fix(server): resolve foreign key violation blocking application uninstall (#22502)
Fixes [sonarly issue #54192](https://sonarly.com/issue/54192)

## Problem

Uninstalling an application fails with a DB error when its
`packageJsonFileId` / `yarnLockFileId` columns are populated:

    update or delete on table "file" violates foreign key constraint
    "FK_3818380258798f9ffa9963b6dc4" on table "application"

Storage was also wiped before the failing DB delete, leaving the app
half-uninstalled.

## Root cause

`application` and `file` reference each other through `ON DELETE
RESTRICT` FKs (`application.packageJsonFileId/yarnLockFileId → file.id`
and `file.applicationId → application.id`), so no deletion order works
on its own. The deferrable-FK migration doesn't help: in Postgres,
`RESTRICT` fires immediately even on `DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED`
constraints (only `NO ACTION` honors deferral). Uninstall deleted file
rows first, in autocommit statements.

## Fix

`ApplicationService.delete()` now runs in a single transaction:

1. Clear `packageJsonFileId` / `yarnLockFileId` (breaks the FK cycle)
2. Delete the app's `file` rows
3. Delete the `application` row

Storage cleanup moved after commit and made non-fatal, so a failure can
no longer leave partial state. `deleteApplicationFiles` is split into
`deleteApplicationFileRows` (DB, transactional) and
`deleteApplicationFilesFromStorage` (blobs). The test cleanup util had
the same file-first ordering bug and is fixed the same way.


## Questions / Follow-ups

- **Should the FK cycle be resolved at the schema level?** Both legs
could be switched to `ON DELETE NO ACTION DEFERRABLE INITIALLY
DEFERRED`, which appears to be what the deferrable-FK migration intended
— deferral would then actually apply to deletes, making transactional
deletion order-independent. Happy to open a separate PR if there's
interest.

- **Should the marketplace install path set the package file FKs?** It
stores `package.json` in the `file` table but never populates
`application.packageJsonFileId` / `yarnLockFileId` — today only
workspace creation and `application:rebuild-default-deps` set them.
Marketplace packages also don't ship a `yarn.lock`, so this needs a
product decision.

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.
