We currently don't have a nice UI to show unread messages for the thread,
and it will take some time to create one. For now, this commit makes it so
new messages inside a thread do not count towards a chat channel's unread
counts, and new messages sent in a thread do not update a user's `last_read_message_id`
for a channel.
In addition, this PR refactors the `Chat::ChannelFetcher` to use the `Chat::ChannelUnreadsQuery`
query class for consistency, and made said class able to return zeroed-out records
for channels the user is not a member of.
Finally, a small bug is fixed here where if a user's `last_read_message_id` for
a channel was a thread's OM ID, then the thread OM would not show in the
main channel stream for them until another reply to the channel was posted.
This commit introduces a redis cache over the top of the thread
replies_count DB cache, so that we can quickly and accurately
increment/decrement the reply count for all users and not have
to constantly update the database-level count. This is done so
the UI can have a count that is displayed to the users on each
thread indicator, that appears to live update on each chat
message create/trash/recover inside the thread.
This commit also introduces the `Chat::RestoreMessage` service
and moves the restore endpoint into the `Api::ChannelMessages`
controller as part of incremental migrations to move things out
of ChatController.
Finally, this commit refactors `Chat::Publisher` to be less repetitive
with its `MessageBus` sending code.
This feature will allow sites to define which emoji are not allowed. Emoji in this list should be excluded from the set we show in the core emoji picker used in the composer for posts when emoji are enabled. And they should not be allowed to be chosen to be added to messages or as reactions in chat.
This feature prevents denied emoji from appearing in the following scenarios:
- topic title and page title
- private messages (topic title and body)
- inserting emojis into a chat
- reacting to chat messages
- using the emoji picker (composer, user status etc)
- using search within emoji picker
It also takes into account the various ways that emojis can be accessed, such as:
- emoji autocomplete suggestions
- emoji favourites (auto populates when adding to emoji deny list for example)
- emoji inline translations
- emoji skintones (ie. for certain hand gestures)
This commit introduces a new thread indicator for channels with `threading_enabled`
set to true and the `enable_exp` site setting set to true. In addition, in the main channel
stream we now hide all messages that are linked to threads except for the original message,
disabling the concept of an "echo mode" for now, we may revisit this in future. We also
remove the jigsaw puzzle "Open Thread" button for message actions, since the thread
indicator can just be used instead.
This also stops the `Chat::Publisher` from sending any messages related to chat
messages that are linked to a thread, unless that chat message is the OM of the
thread. A subsequent PR will link up all MessageBus events within the thread panel,
and for the message indicators.
Another subsequent PR will add the excerpt of the latest message in each thread,
as well as the avatars of the users messaging in the thread.

When a chat message is trashed and the message is used
for someone's UserChatChannelMembership#last_read_message_id,
the user would end up with some read state issues until
someone posted a new message in the channel, since we didn't
clear it like we did on bulk message delete.
This commit fixes the issue, and also takes the opportunity
to start a MessagesController in the API namespace, and move
the trash message functionality into the new service format.
This commit adds a keyboard shortcut (Shift+ESC) for chat which marks all
of the chat channels that the user is currently a following member of as read,
updating their `last_read_message_id`. This is done via a new service.
It also includes some refactors and controller changes:
* The old mark message read route from `ChatController` is now supplanted
by the `Chat::Api::ReadsController#update` route.
* The new controller can handle either marking a single or all messages read,
and uses the correct service based on the route and params.
* The `UpdateUserLastRead` service is now used (it wasn't before), and has been slightly
updated to just use the guardian user ID.
This commit does a couple of things:
* Adds the ability to load messages in the chat thread panel when it is open. This just loads the most recent N messages, same as a channel, and does nothing more, no scrolling or anything like that.
* Displays the messages in an extremely simple unordered list with no additional features.
* Allows posting new messages to the thread, and echoes them into the main channel, but does not respond to any sort of MessageBus events.
I've moved messages/clearMessages/addMessages/findMessage code out of the `ChatChannel` model
and into a new `ChatMessagesManager` class, which is instantiated in both the `ChatChannel` model
and the `ChatThread` model. This allows both to manage messages in the same way via the
`TrackedArray` pattern.
This is all hidden behind experimental flags, there is no way to make this not completely broken
in a single commit. Much more work and refactoring needs to be done first.

This commit main goal was to comply with Zeitwerk and properly rely on autoloading. To achieve this, most resources have been namespaced under the `Chat` module.
- Given all models are now namespaced with `Chat::` and would change the stored types in DB when using polymorphism or STI (single table inheritance), this commit uses various Rails methods to ensure proper class is loaded and the stored name in DB is unchanged, eg: `Chat::Message` model will be stored as `"ChatMessage"`, and `"ChatMessage"` will correctly load `Chat::Message` model.
- Jobs are now using constants only, eg: `Jobs::Chat::Foo` and should only be enqueued this way
Notes:
- This commit also used this opportunity to limit the number of registered css files in plugin.rb
- `discourse_dev` support has been removed within this commit and will be reintroduced later
<!-- NOTE: All pull requests should have tests (rspec in Ruby, qunit in JavaScript). If your code does not include test coverage, please include an explanation of why it was omitted. -->
- group writes when computing separators positions
- shows skeleton only on initial load
- forces date separator to be pinned when first message to prevent a pinned - not pinned - pinned sequence when loading more in past
- relies on `message.visible` property instead of checking `isElementInViewport`
- attempts to load next/prev messages earlier
- do not scroll to on fetch more
- hides `last visit` text while pinned
This PR is introducing glimmer usage in the chat-live-pane, for components but also for models. RestModel usage has been dropped in favor of native classes.
Other changes/additions in this PR:
sticky dates, scrolling will now keep the date separator of the current section at the top of the screen
better unread management, marking a channel as unread will correctly mark the correct message and not mark the whole channel as read. Tracking state will also now correctly return unread count and unread mentions.
adds an animation on bottom arrow
better scrolling behavior, we should now always correctly keep the scroll position while loading more
reactions are now more reactive, and will update their tooltip without needed to close/reopen it
skeleton has been improved with placeholder images and reactions
when making a reaction on the desktop message actions, the menu won't move anymore
simplify logic and stop maintaining a list of unloaded messages

This patch introduces a new `ServiceJob` class allowing the use of
`with_service` in jobs.
This way, it’s easier to use the chat service objects in jobs and
provides the same level of functionality than the one we have in
controllers.
Previous commit 479c0a3051 was done with the assumption that this info was defined on user serializer but it was actually defined on post serializer in core. This commit extends the user serializer for messages to add this data to the user.
Also correctly adds serializer test to ensure we actually have this data.
Adds a new LookupThread class that handles finding the
thread based on thread + channel ID, checking permissions
and policy/contract checks.

This commit introduces the skeleton of the chat thread UI. The
structure of the components looks like this. Its done this way
so the side panel can be used for other things as well if we wish,
not just for threads:
```
.main-chat-outlet
<ChatLivePane />
<ChatSidePanel>
<-- rendered with {{outlet}} -->
<ChatThread />
</ChatSidePanel>
```
Later on the `ChatThreadList` will be rendered here as well.
Now, when you go to a channel you can open a thread by clicking
on either the Open Thread message action button or by clicking on
the reply indicator. This will take you to a route like `chat/c/:slug/:channelId/t/:threadId`.
This works on mobile as well.
This commit includes basic serializers and routes for threads,
as well as a new `ChatThreadsManager` service in JS that caches
threads for a channel the same way the channel threads manager does.
The chat messages inside the thread are intentionally left out
until a later PR.
**NOTE: These changes are gated behind the site setting enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions
and the threading_enabled boolean on a ChatChannel**
This is a combined work of Martin Brennan, Loïc Guitaut, and Joffrey Jaffeux.

This commit implements a base service object when working in chat. The documentation is available at https://discourse.github.io/discourse/chat/backend/Chat/Service.html
Generating documentation has been made as part of this commit with a bigger goal in mind of generally making it easier to dive into the chat project.
Working with services generally involves 3 parts:
- The service object itself, which is a series of steps where few of them are specialized (model, transaction, policy)
```ruby
class UpdateAge
include Chat::Service::Base
model :user, :fetch_user
policy :can_see_user
contract
step :update_age
class Contract
attribute :age, :integer
end
def fetch_user(user_id:, **)
User.find_by(id: user_id)
end
def can_see_user(guardian:, **)
guardian.can_see_user(user)
end
def update_age(age:, **)
user.update!(age: age)
end
end
```
- The `with_service` controller helper, handling success and failure of the service within a service and making easy to return proper response to it from the controller
```ruby
def update
with_service(UpdateAge) do
on_success { render_serialized(result.user, BasicUserSerializer, root: "user") }
end
end
```
- Rspec matchers and steps inspector, improving the dev experience while creating specs for a service
```ruby
RSpec.describe(UpdateAge) do
subject(:result) do
described_class.call(guardian: guardian, user_id: user.id, age: age)
end
fab!(:user) { Fabricate(:user) }
fab!(:current_user) { Fabricate(:admin) }
let(:guardian) { Guardian.new(current_user) }
let(:age) { 1 }
it { expect(user.reload.age).to eq(age) }
end
```
Note in case of unexpected failure in your spec, the output will give all the relevant information:
```
1) UpdateAge when no channel_id is given is expected to fail to find a model named 'user'
Failure/Error: it { is_expected.to fail_to_find_a_model(:user) }
Expected model 'foo' (key: 'result.model.user') was not found in the result object.
[1/4] [model] 'user' ❌
[2/4] [policy] 'can_see_user'
[3/4] [contract] 'default'
[4/4] [step] 'update_age'

Deleting a message with a mention doesn't clear the associated notification, confusing the mentioned user.
There are different chat notification types, but we only care about `chat_mentioned` since `chat_quoted` is associated with a post, and `chat_message` is only for push notifications.
Unfortunately, this change doesn't fix the chat bubble getting out of sync when a message gets deleted since we track unread/mentions count with an integer, making it a bit hard to manipulate. We can follow up later if we consider it necessary.
This commit introduces the ability to edit the channel
slug from the About tab for the chat channel when the user
is admin. Similar to the create channel modal functionality
introduced in 641e94f, if
the slug is left empty then we autogenerate a slug based
on the channel name, and if the user just changes the slug
manually we use that instead.
We do not do any link remapping or anything else of the
sort, when the category slug is changed that does not happen
either.
Only allow maximum of `50_000` characters for chat drafts. A hidden `max_chat_draft_length` setting can control this limit. A migration is also provided to delete any abusive draft in the database.
The number of drafts loaded on current user has also been limited and ordered by most recent update.
Note that spec files moved are not directly related to the fix.

Prior to this fix trashed channels would still prevent a channel with the same slug to be created. This commit generates a new slug on trash and frees the slug for future usage.
The format used for the slug is: `YYYYMMDD-HHMM-OLD_SLUG-deleted` truncated to the max length of a channel name.
This commit allows us to set the channel slug when creating new chat
channels. As well as this, it introduces a new `SlugsController` which can
generate a slug using `Slug.for` and a name string for input. We call this
after the user finishes typing the channel name (debounced) and fill in
the autogenerated slug in the background, and update the slug input
placeholder.
This autogenerated slug is used by default, but if the user writes anything
else in the input it will be used instead.
There was an issue with channel archiving, where at times the topic
creation could fail which left the archive in a bad state, as read-only
instead of archived. This commit does several things:
* Changes the ChatChannelArchiveService to validate the topic being
created first and if it is not valid report the topic creation errors
in the PM we send to the user
* Changes the UI message in the channel with the archive status to reflect
that topic creation failed
* Validate the new topic when starting the archive process from the UI,
and show the validation errors to the user straight away instead of
creating the archive record and starting the process
This also fixes another issue in the discourse_dev config which was
failing because YAML parsing does not enable all classes by default now,
which was making the seeding rake task for chat fail.
Note this is a very large PR, and some of it could have been splited, but keeping it one chunk made it to merge conflicts and to revert if necessary. Actual new code logic is also not that much, as most of the changes are removing js tests, adding system specs or moving things around.
To make it possible this commit is doing the following changes:
- converting (and adding new) existing js acceptances tests into system tests. This change was necessary to ensure as little regressions as possible while changing paradigm
- moving away from store. Using glimmer and tracked properties requires to have class objects everywhere and as a result works well with models. However store/adapters are suffering from many bugs and limitations. As a workaround the `chat-api` and `chat-channels-manager` are an answer to this problem by encapsulating backend calls and frontend storage logic; while still using js models.
- dropping `appEvents` as much as possible. Using tracked properties and a better local storage of channel models, allows to be much more reactive and doesn’t require arbitrary manual updates everywhere in the app.
- while working on replacing store, the existing work of a chat api (backend) has been continued to support more cases.
- removing code from the `chat` service to separate concerns, `chat-subscriptions-manager` and `chat-channels-manager`, being the largest examples of where the code has been rewritten/moved.
Future wok:
- improve behavior when closing/deleting a channel, it's already slightly buggy on live, it's rare enough that it's not a big issue, but should be improved
- improve page objects used in chat
- move more endpoints to the API
- finish temporarily skipped tests
- extract more code from the `chat` service
- use glimmer for `chat-messages`
- separate concerns in `chat-live-pane`
- eventually add js tests for `chat-api`, `chat-channels-manager` and `chat-subscriptions-manager`, they are indirectly heavy tested through system tests but it would be nice to at least test the public API

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.
Instead of passing `user` to `guardian.can_chat?`, we
can just use the inner `@user` that is part of the guardian
instance already to determine whether that user can chat,
since this is how it works for all other usages of guardian
even within chat.
* FEATURE: Enforce mention limits for chat messages
The first part of these changes adds a new setting called `max_mentions_per_chat_message`, which skips notifications when the message contains too many mentions. It also respects the `max_users_notified_per_group_mention` setting
and skips notifications if expanding a group mention would exceed it.
We also include a new component to display JIT warning for these limits to the user while composing a message.
* Simplify ignoring/muting filter in chat_notifier
* Post-send warnings for unsent warnings
* Improve pluralization
* Address review feedback
* Fix test
* Address second feedback round
* Third round of feedback

The settings tab of each category channel should now present the option to allow or disallow channel wide mentions: @here and @all.
When disallowed, using these mentions in the channel should have no effect.
Only allow maximum of 6000 characters for chat messages when they
are created or edited. A hidden setting can control this limit,
6000 is the default.
There is also a migration here to truncate any existing messages to
6000 characters if the message is already over that and if the
chat_messages table exists. We also set cooked_version to NULL
for those messages so we can identify them for rebake.
This commit automatically ensures that category channels
have slugs when they are created or updated based on the
channel name, category name, or existing slug. The behaviour
has been copied from the Category model.
We also include a backfill here with a simplified version
of Slug.for with deduplication to fill the slugs for already
created Category chat channels.
The channel slug is also now used for chat notifications,
and for the UI and navigation for chat. `slugifyChannel`
is still used, but now does the following fallback:
* Uses channel.slug if it is present
* Uses channel.escapedTitle if it is present
* Uses channel.title if it is present
In future we may want to remove this altogether
and always rely on the slug being present, but this
is currently not possible because we are not generating
slugs for DM channels at this point.

This fixes a gaffe from that commit where I passed in the
guardian to ChatMessageUpdater but then forgot to remove
the old way of setting the guardian and user instance variables
from the chat_message that was passed in.
Also, it moves the ensure_can_edit_message! check from the
controller into ChatMessageUpdater so all the access
checks are in the same place.
This commit adds last_editor_id to ChatMessage for parity with Post in
core, as well as adding user_id to the ChatMessageRevision record since
we need to know who is making edits and revisions to messages, in case
in future we want to allow more than just the current user to edit chat
messages. The backfill for data here simply uses the record's creating
user ID, but in future if we allow other people to edit the messages it
will use their ID.
This is a followup of the previous refactor where we created two new
models to handle all the dedicated logic that was present in the
`ChatChannel` model.
For the sake of consistency, `DMChannel` has been renamed to
`DirectMessageChannel` and the previous `DirectMessageChannel` model is
now named `DirectMessage`. This should help reasoning about direct
messages.
