Félix Malfait d709467902 feat(ai): surface AI chat stream failures through one typed error channel (#22434)
## Context

Investigating a report where the AI chat showed only a `...` spinner
while the network response clearly contained `No AI models are
available`. Root cause: terminal stream failures reach the client on
**two mismatched channels**.

| Representation | Persisted (survives reload) | Rendered by client |
|---|---|---|
| AI-SDK `error` chunk (inside `stream-chunk`) |  RPUSH'd to Redis | 
dropped by `readUIMessageStream` (no message part, no error state) |
| typed `stream-error` event |  never persisted |  sets the error atom
|

Live, the `stream-error` event renders. But on reload,
`chatStreamCatchupChunks` replays only the persisted **error chunk** —
which the reducer discards — and the streaming indicator never clears.

## Change

Collapse to a single typed error contract:

- **Suppress the opaque `error` chunk** in the stream job; every failure
is surfaced through the typed `stream-error` event. Errors are mapped
via `mapErrorToStreamError` so an `AiException` keeps its
`AiExceptionCode` (e.g. `API_KEY_NOT_CONFIGURED` → the existing "AI not
configured" banner) instead of leaking a raw string.
- **Persist the terminal error** next to the accumulated chunks and
expose it as an explicit `error { code message }` field on
`ChatStreamCatchupChunks`, so a client catching up after a reload
recovers it — no dependency on the AI SDK's internal chunk shape.
- **Reset per-thread stream state at job start**, so a failed turn's
leftover chunks/error never replay on the next stream.
- **Client replays the catchup error** as a terminal `stream-error`
event, which clears the streaming indicator and renders the error (fixes
the infinite spinner on a stream that ended in error).

## Notes

- `ChatStreamError` is a new metadata GraphQL type; generated types
(twenty-front metadata + client-sdk) were hand-updated to keep the tree
consistent and will be reconciled by CI's `graphql:generate` check if
anything differs.
- Server unit test added for the error mapping. No schema/DB migration.

## Test plan

- [ ] With no AI provider configured, send a chat message → error
renders immediately (not a spinner).
- [ ] Reload the thread → the error still renders (recovered from
catchup), indicator not spinning.
- [ ] Configure a provider and send again → normal streaming; no stale
error from the previous failed turn.

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.
