## Query depth deprecation
I'm deprecating depth parameter in our graphql query / cache tooling.
They were obsolete since we introduce the possibility to provide
RecordGqlFields
## Refactor combinedFindManyRecordHook
The hook can now take an array of operationSignatures
## Fix tasks issues
Fix optimistic rendering issue. Note that we still haven't handle
optimisticEffect on creation properly
Refactored the code to introduce two different concepts:
- AuditLogs (immutable, raw data)
- TimelineActivities (user-friendly, transformed data)
Still some work needed:
- Add message, files, calendar events to timeline (~2 hours if done
naively)
- Refactor repository to try to abstract concept when we can (tbd, wait
for Twenty ORM)
- Introduce ability to display child timelines on parent timeline with
filtering (~2 days)
- Improve UI: add links to open note/task, improve diff display, etc
(half a day)
- Decide the path forward for Task vs Notes: either introduce a new
field type "Record Type" and start going into that direction ; or split
in two objects?
- Trigger updates when a field is changed (will be solved by real-time /
websockets: 2 weeks)
- Integrate behavioral events (1 day for POC, 1 week for
clean/documented)

When writing to the normalized cache (record), it's crucial to use _refs
for relationships to avoid many problems. Essentially, we only deal with
level 0 and generate all fields to be comfortable with their defaults.
When writing in queries (which should be very rare, the only cases are
prefetch and the case of activities due to the nested query; I've
reduced this to a single file for activities
usePrepareFindManyActivitiesQuery 🙂), it's important to use queryFields
to avoid bugs. I've implemented them on the side of query generation and
record generation.
When doing an updateOne / createOne, etc., it's necessary to distinguish
between optimistic writing (which we actually want to do with _refs) and
the server response without refs. This allows for a clean write in the
optimistic cache without worrying about nesting (as the first point).
To simplify the whole activities part, write to the normalized cache
first. Then, base queries on it in an idempotent manner. This way,
there's no need to worry about the current page or action. The
normalized cache is up-to-date, so I update the queries. Same idea as
for optimisticEffects, actually.
Finally, I've triggered optimisticEffects rather than the manual update
of many queries.

* Refactor task count
* Fixed show page rerender
* Less rerenders and way better title and body UX
* Finished breaking down activity editor subscriptions
* Removed console.log
* Last console.log
* Fixed bugs and cleaned
- Created addRecordInCache to inject a record in Apollo cache and inject single read query on this record
- Created createOneRecordInCache and createManyRecordsInCache that uses this addRecordInCache
- Created useOpenCreateActivityDrawerV2 hook to create an activity in cache and inject it into all other relevant requests in the app before opening activity drawer
- Refactored DEFAULT_SEARCH_REQUEST_LIMIT constant and hardcoded arbitrary request limits
- Added Apollo dev logs to see errors in the console when manipulating cache
