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).

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.
