Félix Malfait a505ed3245 feat(ai): typed CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED error that hides the pointless Retry (#22488)
## Rationale

When message pruning can't fit the conversation into the model's context
window, `chat-execution.service.ts` throws a **raw `Error`**.
`mapErrorToStreamError` classifies it as generic
`STREAM_EXECUTION_FAILED`, so the client renders a standard failure with
a **Retry button that deterministically fails again** — the conversation
doesn't get shorter by retrying. Users loop on Retry against a
permanently-failing thread.

## Why this is the root cause, not a symptom patch

The failure is *terminal for the thread by construction*, and the error
channel already distinguishes terminal-vs-retryable via typed
`AiExceptionCode`s — this failure just never got one. Adding
`CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED` (typed exception → `UserInputError` mapping
instead of a 500 → both error surfaces render the start-a-new-thread
message without `onRetry`) puts it on the same rails as
`API_KEY_NOT_CONFIGURED` and the other special-cased codes. Both
frontend error surfaces route through `AiChatErrorRenderer`, so one case
covers the in-message and under-list renderings.

The deeper endgame (auto-summarize/compact older turns so threads never
brick) is a multi-week feature — and this typed error remains necessary
even then, as its terminal fallback.

## User impact

Instead of an opaque error and a Retry that never works, users hitting
the context limit get told exactly what happened and what to do (start a
new thread), and monitoring stops counting a user-condition as a server
error.

## Test plan

- [ ] CI green
- [ ] Manual: fill a thread past the model limit → typed message, no
Retry on either error surface

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:

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.
