nitin ab881350b2 refactor: unify layout customization mode (record pages + navigation) (#18640)
### What

Unifies record page layout editing and navigation menu editing into a
single global "layout customization" session. Dashboard editing stays
separate.

  ### How it works

  **Two edit mode systems, one context-based read:**
- `isLayoutCustomizationModeEnabledState` -- global atom for record
pages + navigation
- `isDashboardInEditModeComponentState` -- dashboard-only, independent
per-component atom
- `PageLayoutEditModeProvider` -- context that dispatches to
`RecordPageLayoutEditModeProvider` (reads global atom) or
`DashboardPageLayoutEditModeProvider` (reads component atom), one
component per file

  **Session registry + independent atoms:**
- `activeCustomizationPageLayoutIdsState` -- accumulates page layout IDs
as user navigates during customization (`string[]`)
- Save/cancel iterate the ID list and read each layout's draft/persisted
atoms independently
- Follows the same pattern as `settingsRoleIdsState` +
`settingsDraftRoleFamilyState`

  **Unified UI:**
- `LayoutCustomizationBar` replaces the old `NavigationMenuEditModeBar`
- Enter once -- edit record layouts + navigation -- save/cancel
everything together
- `useSaveLayoutCustomization` orchestrates sequential save: navigation
draft -- page layouts -- field widget groups
- Error snackbar on partial save failure (with TODO for future atomic
server mutation)

  **Draft protection during customization:**
- `PageLayoutRelationWidgetsSyncEffect` guarded -- only updates
persisted state from server, skips draft/currentLayouts while
customization is active
- `useExecuteTasksOnAnyLocationChange` skips draft reset when
customization mode is enabled
  - Command execution blocked during layout customization

  ### Cleanup
- Deleted `NavigationMenuEditModeBar`,
`isNavigationMenuInEditModeState`,
`isPageLayoutInEditModeComponentState`,
`useIsGlobalLayoutCustomizationActive`
- `DraftPageLayout` type changed from `Omit` to `Pick` (explicit fields)
- Removed save/cancel from `DefaultRecordCommandMenuItemsConfig` (bar
handles it now)
  - Extracted `useSaveFieldsWidgetGroups` from save orchestration
- Split `PageLayoutEditModeProvider` into 3 separate files (one
component per file, Twenty convention)

  ### Known issues
- **Stale deleted widget after save (pre-existing on `main`)**: Delete
widget -- save -- exit customization -- Apollo cache stale -- sync
effect overwrites Jotai from stale data -- widget reappears until
refresh. Separate PR needed, likely tied to the planned server-side
`saveLayoutCustomization` atomic endpoint.

  ### Open questions
- **Module location**: Layout customization hooks/states live in `/app`
-- should they move to their own `modules/layout-customization/`?
- **Atomic server mutation**: All save mutations are on metadata schema
(`createNavigationMenuItem`, `deleteNavigationMenuItem`,
`updateNavigationMenuItem`, `updatePageLayoutWithTabsAndWidgets`,
`upsertFieldsWidget`). A single `saveLayoutCustomization` endpoint could
make saves truly atomic.

Why Twenty

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
