## Summary When the user is logged out, we render the auth modal on top of a sample table to make the empty page feel alive. So far this was achieved by **loading a full set of mocked object / field / view / navigation-menu metadata into the runtime metadata store** and then mounting the real `RecordTable` and `AppNavigationDrawer` behind the modal. This had a few downsides: - Significant bundle weight pulled in for unauthenticated users (mocked GraphQL fixtures + the real `RecordTable` virtualization stack). - Plenty of code paths that had to know about the "showAuthModal" case (`useRecordIndexTableQuery`, `useTriggerInitialRecordTableDataLoad`, `MainContextStoreProvider`, `IsMinimalMetadataReadyEffect`...). - Any change to metadata-store internals or to the record-table runtime risked breaking the logged-out background. This PR replaces the entire flow with a small, self-contained `BackgroundMock` component tree that **does not consume any metadata** and **does not load any mocked metadata at runtime**. ### What changed - New module under `sign-in-background-mock`: - `BackgroundMockPage` + `BackgroundMockViewBar` + `BackgroundMockTable` + `BackgroundMockTableRow` render a hardcoded "Companies" table that visually mirrors the real one. - `BackgroundMockNavigationDrawer` renders a hardcoded sidebar with People / Companies / Opportunities / Tasks / Notes (with their standard colors). - Hardcoded constants in `BackgroundMockCompanies.ts`, `BackgroundMockColumns.ts`, `BackgroundMockNavigationItems.ts`. - `MinimalMetadataLoadEffect` no longer calls `loadMockedMetadataAtomic` for unauthenticated users — it just doesn't load anything. - `IsMinimalMetadataReadyEffect` now reports ready immediately when there is no access token pair, so the skeleton loader doesn't hang waiting for metadata that will never come. - `MainContextStoreProvider`, `useRecordIndexTableQuery`, and `useTriggerInitialRecordTableDataLoad` drop their `showAuthModal` branches — the real `RecordTable` is no longer mounted behind the modal. - `DefaultLayout` and `NotFound` now lazily load `BackgroundMockPage` / `BackgroundMockNavigationDrawer` instead of the deleted `SignInBackgroundMockPage` / `SignInAppNavigationDrawerMock`. - Removed: `SignInBackgroundMockPage`, `SignInBackgroundMockContainer`, `SignInBackgroundMockContainerEffect`, `SignInAppNavigationDrawerMock`, `SignInBackgroundMockColumnDefinitions`, `SignInBackgroundMockCompanies`, `SignInBackgroundMockViewFields`. `useLoadMockedMetadata` and `preloadMockedMetadata` are kept on purpose: Storybook decorators (`ObjectMetadataItemsDecorator`, `WorkflowStepDecorator`) still rely on the mocked metadata fixtures, but **production** unauthenticated runtime no longer touches them. ### Visual parity Side-by-side at 1440×900 on `/sign-in`: **Before** (loads mocked metadata + real RecordTable):  **After** (purely hardcoded BackgroundMock):  ## Test plan - [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` ✅ (passes locally) - [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-front` ✅ (oxlint + prettier clean) - [ ] `npx jest useRecordIndexTableQuery` ✅ - [ ] Manually verify `/sign-in` renders the table + nav drawer behind the modal - [ ] Manually verify `/not-found` still renders the background - [ ] Verify CI: storybook, unit tests, e2e tests

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 deploy
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.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
