Weiko e15b9efc2d Deprecate workspace metadataVersion and stop consuming it in the frontend (#23189)
## Context

Follow-up to #23164. Now that the metadata GraphQL response cache and
the workspace SDL cache are keyed on flat-map hashes,
`workspace.metadataVersion` no longer drives any cache invalidation.
This PR is the next stage of retiring it: the frontend stops consuming
the field entirely, and the public GraphQL field is marked deprecated so
external API consumers get a migration signal.

## What changed

**Frontend stops consuming `metadataVersion`:**
- `userQueryFragment.ts` no longer selects the field.
- `currentWorkspaceState.ts` drops it from the workspace `Pick`.
- `apollo.factory.ts` no longer attaches the `X-Schema-Version` request
header.

Dropping the header retires the "your workspace has been updated, please
refresh the page" error rewrite on the server (it only fired when the
header was present, and only on requests that had already failed
validation). Metadata staleness detection is unaffected: the frontend
has been running on collection hashes plus SSE since the
minimal-metadata work, so that path stays intact. Stale clients now
surface a raw validation error instead of the friendly message, which we
consider an acceptable trade for deleting the mechanism.

**Server marks the field deprecated:**
- `workspace.entity.ts`: `@Field({ deprecationReason: 'No longer used
for metadata cache invalidation, will be removed' })`.

**Regenerated (CI-enforced surfaces):**
`twenty-front/src/generated-metadata`, and `twenty-client-sdk`'s
generated schema, which now carries `@deprecated(reason: ...)`. The
`admin` codegen config produced no changes.
`packages/twenty-sdk/generated` is intentionally untouched: no in-repo
command produces it, CI does not drift-check it, and its committed
snapshot lags the live schema, so regenerating it here would pull
unrelated schema drift into this PR; it will pick up the directive on
its next routine refresh.

## Deployment notes

- No ordering constraint with #23164: removing a field selection and a
request header is backward compatible against any server, and old
frontend bundles keep working during the rollout because the field still
exists and the server-side header check is still in place. Same release
is fine.
- The follow-up server cleanup (removing the `X-Schema-Version` check in
`use-graphql-error-handler.hook.ts`, the per-request `metadataVersion`
reads and seed in `middleware.service.ts`/`jwt-auth.guard.ts`, and the
REST heal block) must wait until the release containing this PR has
shipped, since a deployed frontend still selecting the field would break
`GetCurrentUser` if the field were removed first.

After that cleanup, the only remaining `metadataVersion` consumers are
the five pinned upgrade commands (2.8 through 2.20), which hold the
column and `WorkspaceMetadataVersionService` until that upgrade window
closes; the physical column drop then follows the two-phase pattern used
for `gridPosition`.

## Validation

- Server and frontend typecheck, lint, and format pass; the apollo
factory test suite passes unchanged (it fixtures the field but never
asserted the header).
- Live introspection against a server running this branch returns
`isDeprecated: true` with the reason on `Workspace.metadataVersion`.
- CI's pending-codegen check covers the regenerated surfaces
(`data`/`metadata`/`admin` configs and
`twenty-client-sdk:generate-metadata-client`).

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:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

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.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
