martmull 65155fe50c feat(apps): add enqueueJob to run a logic function on the workers (#23527)
Closes twentyhq/core-team-issues#2742

A logic function run is capped by its own `timeoutSeconds` (900s max),
so anything that can't finish in one run — a full re-sync, a per-record
fan-out, a rate-limited third-party API — had no way to continue. This
adds a way to hand that work to the workers.

## What it looks like for an app author

```ts
import { enqueueJob } from 'twenty-sdk/logic-function';

await enqueueJob({
  logicFunctionUniversalIdentifier: '9f1c3d7e-51b8-4a29-8f0d-7c4e2a6b1d33',
  payload: { cursor: nextCursor },
  retryLimit: 3,
  priority: 2,
  delayMs: 60_000,
});
```

The target runs in its own process with its own timeout budget. The
classic shape is a function that enqueues *itself* with the next cursor
until there is nothing left.

## Changes

**twenty-shared** — `EnqueueJobInput` / `EnqueueJobOptions` /
`EnqueueJobResult` in `application`.

**twenty-server** — new `application-job` module under
`core-modules/application`, following the `application-key-value`
pattern:
- `enqueueJob` mutation on the metadata API, `@AuthApplication`-scoped
- the lookup is scoped to `applicationId` + `workspaceId` — that's the
authorization boundary, an app can only enqueue its own logic functions,
anything else is `LOGIC_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND`
- pushes a `LogicFunctionTriggerJob` onto the existing
`logicFunctionQueue`, so the enqueued run goes through the same executor
(and the same execution throttling) as every other trigger
- the queued run inherits the caller's `userId`/`userWorkspaceId`, so
its app access token carries the same permissions as the function that
queued it

**Job options** are range-checked via `ResolverValidationPipe`, since
the values come from application code and an unbounded delay or retry
count would let an app pin work in the shared queue:

| Option | Default | Range |
|--------|---------|-------|
| `retryLimit` | `0` | `0`–`10` |
| `priority` | queue default | `1`–`10` (lower first) |
| `delayMs` | `0` | `0`–7 days |

`retryLimit` defaults to `0` rather than inheriting the server-route
path's `3`: retries re-run the whole handler, so opting in should be the
author's explicit choice.

**twenty-sdk** — `enqueueJob` in `twenty-sdk/logic-function`, same shape
as `runAgent`/`kv`.

**Docs** — new "Background Jobs" page under Extend → Apps → Logic, plus
nav and overview entries.

**Generated** — regenerated `twenty-front/src/generated-metadata` and
`twenty-client-sdk/src/metadata/generated` for the new mutation.

## Tests

- `application-job.service.spec.ts` — 5 unit tests: job options mapping,
defaults, acting-user propagation, application-scoped lookup, not-found
- `enqueue-job.integration-spec.ts` — 5 integration tests: rejects a
non-`APPLICATION_ACCESS` token, enqueues a function the app owns,
rejects a function owned by another application, rejects an unknown
identifier, rejects out-of-range options

All green locally, along with `typecheck` for
`twenty-server`/`twenty-sdk` and oxlint/oxfmt on the touched files.

## Notes for review

- The target is addressed by `universalIdentifier`, matching `runAgent({
agentUniversalIdentifier })` and
`ServerRouteDispatchResult.targetLogicFunctionUniversalIdentifier`.
Addressing by `name` would be friendlier, but logic function names
aren't validated for uniqueness within an app — happy to add it as a
convenience if you'd rather.
- `enqueueJob` returns as soon as the job is accepted; it can't return
the target's result, since the queue driver's `add` returns void.
Documented, with a pointer to the KV store for handing results back.
