Félix Malfait d81b3c3fa3 feat(twenty-sdk): extract & compile app translations into the manifest (#22236)
## Summary

**PR 2/4** of the app-metadata-translations stack. Gives app developers
the authoring side, as part of the normal manifest build — and it stays
out of the way of developers who don't translate.

- `twenty-sdk` CLI i18n pipeline: collect translatable strings from the
manifest, generate value-as-key message ids (`sha256(value)` truncated,
byte-identical to the server's `generateMessageId`), a `dev
i18n-extract` command to scaffold per-locale catalog files, and a
compile step folded into `build` that emits `manifest.translations`.
- Opt-in: no `locales/` dir → `compileApplicationTranslations` returns
`undefined` → manifest is unchanged.
- Adds an optional `locale` to the front-component execution context so
components can translate against the host locale.

## Stack
Stacks on #22235 (PR 1/4). Base branch:
`claude/app-translation-1-runtime-resolution`.

## Tests
Unit (vitest): extract/compile round-trip + message-id determinism.

## Verification note
`yarn install` could not complete in the remote dev environment, so
typecheck/lint/tests were not run locally — **CI is the source of
truth**.

Twenty SDK

NPM version License Join the community on Discord

A CLI and SDK to develop, build, and publish applications that extend Twenty CRM.

Quick start

The recommended way to start is with create-twenty-app:

npx create-twenty-app@latest my-twenty-app
cd my-twenty-app
yarn twenty dev

Documentation

Full documentation is available at docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps:

  • Getting Started — scaffolding, local server, authentication, dev mode
  • Building Apps — entity definitions, API clients, testing, CLI reference
  • Publishing — deploy, npm publish, marketplace

Manual installation

If you are adding twenty-sdk to an existing project instead of using create-twenty-app:

yarn add twenty-sdk twenty-client-sdk

Then add a twenty script to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "twenty": "twenty"
  }
}

Run yarn twenty help to see all available commands.

Configuration

The CLI stores credentials per remote in ~/.twenty/config.json. Run yarn twenty remote:add to configure a remote, or yarn twenty remote:list to see existing ones.

Troubleshooting

  • Auth errors: run yarn twenty remote:add to re-authenticate.
  • Typings out of date: restart yarn twenty dev to refresh the client and types.
  • Not seeing changes in dev: make sure dev mode is running (yarn twenty dev).
