Charles Bochet 257f130fff feat(sdk): let docker:start choose the server version (#21690)
## What

Makes `yarn twenty docker:start` version-selectable. Same core feature
as #21686 — but here scaffolded apps default to `latest` (pinning is
**opt-in**) rather than being pinned to the scaffolder's version.

> Alternative to #21686. Pick one; the difference is only the scaffolded
default.

Two layers of resolution:

1. **Explicit flag** — `yarn twenty docker:start [version]`, mirroring
the existing `docker:upgrade [version]`.
2. **App-pinned default** — when no version is passed, `docker:start`
reads `twenty.serverVersion` from the app's `package.json`, falling back
to `latest`.

Generated apps ship `twenty.serverVersion: "latest"`, so default
behavior is unchanged. To make the local server reproducible as code,
set a version:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "twenty": {
    "serverVersion": "2.2.0"
  }
}
```

## Changes

- `twenty-sdk`: new `getAppServerVersion()` util reads
`twenty.serverVersion` from the cwd's `package.json`; `serverStart`
gains a `version` option and resolves `option → app pin → latest`,
building the image via `getImageForVersion()`; `docker:start [version]`
(and the deprecated `server start [version]` alias) wired up.
- `create-twenty-app`: template `package.json` ships
`twenty.serverVersion: "latest"`. (`create-app` and the scaffolder are
otherwise untouched.)
- Docs: `local-server.mdx` documents version selection and the opt-in
pin.

## Behavior notes

- Default with no pin and no flag is `latest` — same as today.
- Version only matters when **creating** a fresh container — an existing
container keeps its image until `docker:upgrade` / `docker:reset`.

## Testing

- New unit tests for `getAppServerVersion` (5 cases).
- Extended the `app-template` scaffolding test to assert the `latest`
default.
- `twenty-sdk` cli vitest suite (273) and `create-twenty-app` jest suite
(9) pass; oxlint + oxfmt clean on changed files.

Twenty Documentation

Official documentation for Twenty CRM, powered by Mintlify.

🌐 Live Site

Visit the documentation at docs.twenty.com

📚 Content

This repository contains:

  • User Guide (46 pages) - Complete guide for Twenty users
  • Developers (24 pages) - Technical documentation for developers
  • Twenty UI (25 pages) - UI component library documentation

🚀 Local Development

To run the documentation locally:

# From the twenty monorepo root
npx nx run twenty-docs:dev

The documentation will be available at http://localhost:3000

📝 Editing Content

Adding/Editing Pages

  1. Edit MDX files in the appropriate directory:

    • user-guide/ - User documentation
    • developers/ - Developer documentation
    • twenty-ui/ - Component documentation
  2. Update navigation/base-structure.json if you need to change the tab/group hierarchy or add/remove pages. This file stays in the repo and is not uploaded to Crowdin.

  3. Keep the translation template (navigation/navigation.template.json) in sync by running yarn docs:generate-navigation-template after editing the base structure. This template is the only file that should be pushed to Crowdin.

  4. For each translated locale pulled from Crowdin, ensure a packages/twenty-docs/l/<language>/navigation.json file exists. These files contain labels only; page slugs always come from the base structure.

  5. Run yarn docs:generate to rebuild docs.json from the base structure + translated labels.

MDX Format

All documentation pages use MDX format with frontmatter:

---
title: Page Title
description: Page description
image: /images/path/to/image.png
---

Your content here...

Adding Images

  1. Place images in the /images/ directory
  2. Reference them in MDX: ![Alt text](/images/your-image.png)
  3. Or use Mintlify Frame component:
<Frame>
  <img src="/images/your-image.png" alt="Description" />
</Frame>

🔧 Configuration

  • navigation/base-structure.json - Source of truth for tabs, groups, icons, and page slugs (English only, not sent to Crowdin).
  • navigation/navigation.template.json - Generated translation template (labels only) that is uploaded to Crowdin.
  • l/<language>/navigation.json - Locale-specific label files pulled from Crowdin.
  • docs.json - Generated Mintlify configuration (always run yarn docs:generate after modifying navigation files).
  • package.json - Package dependencies and scripts (docs:generate, docs:generate-navigation-template, …).
  • project.json - Nx workspace configuration

📦 Validation
