Weiko fc6a95a37f Throttle local cache expiration sweeps (#23579)
## Context

The workspace cache and core entity cache keep bounded in-process maps.
Entries that have not been read for 30 minutes are removed by an
expiration sweep.

Before this PR, every cache read synchronously walked the entire local
cache, including every stored version, before performing the actual
lookup. The cost therefore grew with the number of cached entries even
when there was nothing to expire. Both caches are used on common server
request paths, so these repeated full-map scans add unnecessary CPU work
and short-lived allocations, which can contribute to event-loop and
garbage-collection pressure under load.

## What changed

- Run each cache's expiration sweep at most once per minute.
- Keep the existing expiration logic unchanged and use one captured
timestamp for the complete sweep.
- Cover both cache services with tests proving that repeated reads
within the interval trigger one sweep and that sweeping resumes after
the interval.

Normal cache reads now pay only for a timestamp check and branch. The
full `O(cache size)` scan runs at most once per minute per process.

## Safety

This does not change cache freshness:

- The 100 ms local freshness window and Redis hash validation still run
as before.
- Explicit cache invalidation is unchanged.
- The 30-minute inactivity threshold is unchanged.
- LRU eviction still runs when entries are inserted.
- Existing local-cache size limits remain unchanged.

An unused entry can remain in memory for at most one additional minute
before the next sweep. This may marginally increase average retained
memory, but it cannot cause unbounded growth or allow stale data to
bypass the existing hash validation.

## Expected impact

This removes a cache-size-dependent operation from a high-frequency
path. The expected benefit is lower CPU and allocation overhead, less
garbage-collection pressure, and improved tail latency when local caches
are populated.

This is intentionally a narrow optimization. It does not claim to
address every source of API tail latency.

## Validation

- `yarn nx typecheck twenty-server`
- Type-aware Oxlint on the changed files
- Oxfmt on the changed files
- Targeted workspace-cache and core-entity-cache Jest suites, 23 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 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.
