Marie b31f84fbb8 fix(server): workspace member permissions and profile onboarding (#19786)
## Summary

Aligns **workspace member** editing and **onboarding** with how the
product is actually used: profile and other “settings” fields go through
**`updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`**, while **`/graphql`** record APIs
follow **object-level** permissions for the `workspaceMember` object.

## Product behaviour

### Completing “Create profile” onboarding

Users who must create a profile (empty name at sign-up) get
`ONBOARDING_CREATE_PROFILE_PENDING` set. The onboarding UI saves the
name with **`updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`**, not with a workspace
record **`updateOne`**.

**Before:** The server only cleared the pending flag on
**`workspaceMember.updateOne`**, so the flag could stay set and
onboarding appeared stuck.

**After:** Clearing the profile step runs when
**`updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`** persists an update that includes a
**name** (same rules as before: non-empty name parts). Onboarding can
advance normally after **Continue** on Create profile.

### Two ways to change workspace member data

| Path | Typical use | Who can change what |
|------|----------------|---------------------|
| **`updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`** (metadata API) | Standard member
fields the app treats as “my profile / preferences” (name,
avatar-related settings, locale, time zone, etc.) | **Always** your
**own** workspace member. Changing **another** member still requires
**Workspace members** in role settings (`WORKSPACE_MEMBERS`). Custom
fields are **not** allowed on this endpoint (unchanged). |
| **`/graphql`** record mutations on **`workspaceMember`** | Custom
fields, integrations, anything that goes through the generic record API
| **`WorkspaceMember`** is special-cased in permissions: **read** stays
**on** for everyone, but **update / create / delete** require
**`WORKSPACE_MEMBERS`**, including updating **your own** row via
`/graphql`. So a **Member** without that permission cannot fix their
name through **`updateWorkspaceMember`**; they use **Settings** /
**`updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`** instead. |

This matches **`WorkspaceRolesPermissionsCacheService`**: for the
workspace member object, `canReadObjectRecords` is always true;
`canUpdateObjectRecords` (and delete-related flags) follow
**`WORKSPACE_MEMBERS`**.

### Hooks and delete side-effects

- Removed **`workspaceMember.updateOne`** pre-query hook and
**`WorkspaceMemberPreQueryHookService`**: they duplicated the same rules
the permission cache already enforces for `/graphql`.
- **`WorkspaceMember.deleteOne`** pre-hook still tells users to remove
members via the dedicated flow; the post-hook only runs the
**`deleteUserWorkspace`** side-effect when a member row is actually
removed—**no** extra settings-permission check there, since only callers
that already passed **object** delete permission can remove the row.

## Tests

- **`workspace-members.integration-spec.ts`**: clarifies and extends
coverage so **`/graphql`** **`updateOne`** is denied for **own** record
on a **standard** name field and on a **custom** field when the role
lacks **`WORKSPACE_MEMBERS`**.

## Implementation notes

- **`OnboardingService.completeOnboardingProfileStepIfNameProvided`**
centralises the “clear profile pending if name present” logic;
**`UserResolver.updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`** calls it after save,
using the typed update payload’s **`name`** (no cast).
- **`UserWorkspaceService.updateUserWorkspaceLocaleForUserWorkspace`**:
drops a redundant **`coreEntityCacheService.invalidate`**;
**`updateWorkspaceMemberSettings`** still invalidates the user-workspace
cache after the mutation.

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.
