Raphaël Bosi c52c983b90 Source app About description from README and improve internal app READMEs (#22012)
## What

- The SDK manifest build now sources an app's `aboutDescription` (the
long-form "About" tab content) from its `README.md`. An explicit
`aboutDescription` in the config still wins, matching the existing
marketplace CDN fallback.
- Removed the now-duplicated `aboutDescription` from internal app
configs and deleted the standalone `ABOUT_DESCRIPTION` constant files.
- Rewrote internal app READMEs to read as user-facing About content:
stripped developer/build/source-path noise, and expanded the thin ones.
`call-recording` and `self-hosting` (one-liners over substantial apps)
and `people-data-labs` were rewritten from a close reading of the code;
`twenty-exa` was verified for accuracy.
- Added a unit test (and a fixture README) covering README →
`aboutDescription` in the build.

## Why

The README and the About description were maintained separately and
drifted. Making the README the single source keeps the About tab
accurate and removes duplicated copy.

## Notes for reviewers

- Internal apps depend on the published `twenty-sdk`, so the build
change takes effect for them after an SDK release + dependency bump.
Until then, published apps still get README → `aboutDescription` via the
marketplace CDN sync.
- Standard/Custom app descriptions are unchanged (they are resolved in
the frontend, not via the manifest).

# Linear for Twenty
Connect your Linear account to Twenty to create issues and look up teams
straight from your workflows or the AI chat.
## What you can do
Once installed and connected, two tools become available:
- **Create Linear issue** — from the AI chat, ask something like
*"create a Linear issue in the Engineering team titled 'Fix login bug'"*
and the AI will file it for you. From a workflow, add it as a step
with `teamId` + `title` (and optional `description`).
- **List Linear teams** — discovers the teams in your Linear workspace,
useful when you need to pick a `teamId` for the create-issue step.
## Installing
1. Open **Settings → Applications** in your Twenty workspace.
2. Find **Linear** in the available apps and click **Install**.
3. Open the app, go to the **Connections** tab, and click **Add connection**.
4. Choose **Just for me** (your personal Linear account) or
**Workspace shared** (a team-managed Linear account anyone in this
workspace can act through), then complete the Linear sign-in.
That's it — you can now use the tools above.
> If you see a "Linear OAuth is not yet set up by your server administrator"
> notice on the Connections tab, ask your Twenty admin to follow the
> **Self-hosting setup** below — they need to provide the OAuth credentials
> before connections can be added.
---
## Self-hosting setup
This section is for Twenty server admins. If you're on Twenty Cloud, skip
this — the OAuth credentials are already configured.
### 1. Register an OAuth app in Linear
1. Visit https://linear.app/settings/api/applications/new.
2. Set the **Redirect URI** to `<SERVER_URL>/auth/apps/callback` (for
local dev: `http://localhost:3000/auth/apps/callback`).
3. Copy the generated **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
### 2. Wire the credentials into Twenty
1. In **Settings → Applications**, find **Linear**, click into it, and go
to the **Application registration** tab (admin-only).
2. Paste your Linear **Client ID** into `LINEAR_CLIENT_ID` and the
**Client Secret** into `LINEAR_CLIENT_SECRET`.
Workspace users will now be able to add Linear connections from the
**Connections** tab as described above.
