Félix Malfait e6125c0e0d feat(sdk): move catalog-sync under server group (#20282)
## Summary

`catalog-sync` is a server-side admin action — it asks the connected
Twenty server to refresh its marketplace catalog from npm. It doesn't
operate on the local app code (like `build`, `deploy`, `publish`), so
having it sit at the same root level as those commands is a navigability
problem. With 13 commands at the root today, every needless one makes
the help output harder to scan.

This PR moves it under `server`:

```
# New (preferred)
yarn twenty server catalog-sync
yarn twenty server catalog-sync --remote production

# Old (still works, prints deprecation warning)
yarn twenty catalog-sync
```

Also slightly broadens the `server` group description from "Manage a
local Twenty server instance" to "Manage a Twenty server (local instance
and server-side actions)" since `catalog-sync` can target a remote.

## Help output (after)

```
$ yarn twenty --help
Commands:
  ...
  catalog-sync [options]   [Deprecated] Moved under server. Use `yarn twenty server catalog-sync`.
  ...
  server                   Manage a Twenty server (local instance and server-side actions)

$ yarn twenty server --help
Commands:
  start [options]              Start a local Twenty server
  stop [options]               Stop the local Twenty server
  logs [options]               Stream Twenty server logs
  status [options]             Show Twenty server status
  reset [options]              Delete all data and start fresh
  upgrade [options] [version]  Upgrade the twenty-app-dev Docker image
  catalog-sync [options]       Trigger a marketplace catalog sync on the server
```

## Backwards compatibility

The top-level `yarn twenty catalog-sync` still works and runs the same
logic. It prints a yellow warning suggesting the new path, then executes
normally. Plan is to remove it in a future release.

## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-sdk` passes
- [x] `npx nx lint twenty-sdk` passes
- [x] `yarn twenty --help` shows the deprecated entry
- [x] `yarn twenty server --help` lists the new subcommand
- [x] `yarn twenty catalog-sync --help` shows the deprecation message in
the description
- [ ] End-to-end: invoking either path triggers a sync against a running
server

## Possible follow-ups

This is one slice of the bigger CLI flattening discussed offline. Other
natural moves: group `build/deploy/publish/install/uninstall/typecheck`
under an `app` group, group `add/exec/logs` under `entity`. Doing those
in their own PRs to keep blast radius small.

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).
