We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_create_tag site setting to create_tag_allowed_groups.
This PR maintains backwards compatibility until we can update plugins and themes using this.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki site setting to self_wiki_allowed_groups.
Nothing of note here. This is used in exactly one place, and there's no fallout.
A bug that allowed TL1 to convert other's posts to wiki.
The issue was introduced in this PR: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24999/files
The wiki can be created if a user is TL3 and it is their own post - default 3 for setting `SiteSetting.min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki`
In addition, a wiki can be created by staff and TL4 users for any post.
Using min_trust_to_create_topic and create_topic_allowed_groups together was part of #24740
Now, when plugins specs are fixed, we can safely remove that part of logic.

This one is a bit different from previous ones, as it's a boolean flag, and the default should be no group. Pay special attention to the migration during review.

Note: In the original setting, "posts" is plural. I have changed this to "post" singular in the new setting to match others.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_edit_post site setting to edit_post_allowed_groups.
The old implementation will co-exist for a short period while I update any references in plugins and themes.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to

- Adds a migration to fill in the new setting if the old setting was
changed

Applies the embed_unlisted site setting consistently across topic embeds, including those created via the WP Discourse plugin. Relatedly, adds a embed exception to can_create_unlisted_topic? check. Users creating embedded topics are not always staff.

Admins are always able to send PMs, so it doesn't make
sense that they shouldn't be able to convert topics just
because they aren't in personal_message_enabled_groups.
Allow anonymous users (logged-in, but set to anonymous posting) to like posts

After this change, in order to join a chat channel, a user needs to be in a group with at least “Reply” permission for the category. If the user only has “See” permission, they are able to preview the channel, but not join it or send messages. The auto-join function also follows this new restriction.

Sites with many categories and many of them in muted by default (see
`default_categories_muted`) reported bad performance when requesting
the homepage as an anonymous user. This was the case because of the
long query that iterated over topics and categories trying to remove
those from the muted categories.
When invoking e.g. `can_see?(Foo.new)`, the guardian checks if there's a method `#can_see_foo?` defined and if so uses that to determine whether the user can see it or not.
When such a method is not defined, the guardian currently returns `true`, but it is probably a better call (pun intended) to make it "safe by default" and return `false` instead. I.e. if you can't explicitly see it, you can't see it at all.
This change makes the change to `Guardian#can_see?` to fall back to `false` if no visibility check method is defined.
For `#can_see_user?` and `#can_see_tag?` we don't have any particular logic that prevents viewing. We previously relied on the implicit `true` value, but since that's now change to `false`, I have explicitly implemented these two methods in `UserGuardian` and `TagGuardian` modules. If in the future we want to add some logic for it, this would be the place.
To be clear, **the behaviour remains the same**, but the `true` value is now explicit rather than implicit.
* FIX: do not notify admins on suppressed categories
Avoid notifying admins on categories where they are not explicitly members
in cases where SiteSetting.suppress_secured_categories_from_admin is
enabled.
This helps keep notification stream clean and avoids admins mistakenly
being invited to discussions that should be suppressed
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
TL4 users can already list and unlist topics, but they can't see
the unlisted topics. This change brings this to par by allowing
TL4 users to also see unlisted topics.
If a secure upload's access_control_post was trashed, and an anon user
tried to look at that upload, they would get a 500 error rather than
the correct 403 because of an error inside the PostGuardian logic.
When loading posts in a topic, the topic level guardian
checks are run multiple times even though all the posts belong to the
same topic. Profiling in production revealed that this accounted for a
significant amount of request time for a user that is not staff or anon.
Therefore, we're optimizing this by adding memoizing the topic level
calls in `PostGuardian`. Speficifally, the result of
`TopicGuardian#can_see_topic?` and `PostGuardian#can_create_post?`
method calls are memoized per topic.
Locally profiling shows a significant improvement for normal users
loading a topic with 100 posts.

Previously, restricted category chat channel was available for all groups - even `readonly`. From now on, only user who belong to group with `create_post` or `full` permissions can access that chat channel.
The hidden site setting `suppress_secured_categories_from_admin` will
suppress visibility of categories without explicit access from admins
in a few key areas (category drop downs and topic lists)
It is not intended to be a security wall since admins can amend any site
setting. Instead it is feature that allows hiding the categories from the
UI.
Admins will still be able to see topics in categories without explicit
access using direct URLs or flags.

Before this commit, there was no way for us to efficiently check an
array of topics for which a user can see. Therefore, this commit
introduces the `TopicGuardian#can_see_topic_ids` method which accepts an
array of `Topic#id`s and filters out the ids which the user is not
allowed to see. The `TopicGuardian#can_see_topic_ids` method is meant to
maintain feature parity with `TopicGuardian#can_see_topic?` at all
times so a consistency check has been added in our tests to ensure that
`TopicGuardian#can_see_topic_ids` returns the same result as
`TopicGuardian#can_see_topic?`. In the near future, the plan is for us
to switch to `TopicGuardian#can_see_topic_ids` completely but I'm not
doing that in this commit as we have to be careful with the performance
impact of such a change.
This method is currently not being used in the current commit but will
be relied on in a subsequent commit.

This PR also makes it so `bot` (negative ID) and `system` users are always allowed
to send PMs, since the old conditional was just based on `enable_personal_messages`
* REFACTOR: Improve reusability by Decoupling flag modal from flag target.
We want chat message's flags to have the same features as topic and posts' flags, but we prefer not having to duplicate core's logic. This PR moves target specific bits to different classes, allowing plugins to flag custom things by
providing their own.
* A couple of fixes for the flag modal:
- Make sure buttons are disabled until a flag type is selected.
- Don't throw an error when checking if the user can undo an action on a deleted topic.
- Disable flagging on deleted topics.
