Why this change?
By ensuring the reset happens in an `ensure` code block, we ensure that
the code will always be run even if code fails or an error is raised.
This helps to prevent leaking custom network condition states and
improves the stability of our system tests.
This commit contains multiple changes to improve the composer behavior especially in the context of a thread:
- Generally rename anything of the form `chatChannelThread...` to `chatThread...``
- Moves the textarea interactor instance inside the composer server
- Improves the focus state and closing of panel related to the use of the Escape shortcut
- Creates `Chat::ThreadList` as a component instead of having `Chat::Thread::ListItem` and others which could imply they were children of a the `Chat::Thread` component
Editing a message to an empty string and sending it, will delete it.
This commit also refactors a lot of channel/thread composer shortcuts specs.
---
This commit also includes various spec fixes which have been flakey while finishing this pull request.
This commit attempts to correctly change draft when the channel changes. It moves responsibility to the composer instead of the channel.
A new service `chatDraftsManager` is being introduced here to allow finer control and pave the way for future thread draft support.
These changes also now allow an editing message to be stored as a draft.
- few improved alignments
- displays emoji picker button inline on desktop
- keeps composer focused when focusing dropdown button
- align buttons to bottom when increasing height of textarea
- max-height of textarea is now linked to the height of the screen

- using BEM notation
- making animation linear instead of default ease
- small tweaks to composer state (disabled/send-disabled/send-enabled)
- fixing bug with disabled composer on mobile
After removing `TextareaTextManipulation` from `ChatComposer` and using `TextareaInteractor` as a proxy, one function has been forgotten: `paste(event)` which is not available in glimmer components anymore, and even less avaiable now that the mixin is not tied to a component anymore but a real DOM node. As a solution we now add a manual paste event listener which will call `paste(event)`.
This pull request is a full overhaul of the chat-composer and contains various improvements to the thread panel. They have been grouped in the same PR as lots of improvements/fixes to the thread panel needed an improved composer. This is meant as a first step.
### New features included in this PR
- A resizable side panel
- A clear dropzone area for uploads
- A simplified design for image uploads, this is only a first step towards more redesign of this area in the future
### Notable fixes in this PR
- Correct placeholder in thread panel
- Allows to edit the last message of a thread with arrow up
- Correctly focus composer when replying to a message
- The reply indicator is added instantly in the channel when starting a thread
- Prevents a large variety of bug where the composer could bug and prevent sending message or would clear your input while it has content
### Technical notes
To achieve this PR, three important changes have been made:
- `<ChatComposer>` has been fully rewritten and is now a glimmer component
- The chat composer now takes a `ChatMessage` as input which can directly be used in other operations, it simplifies a lot of logic as we are always working a with a `ChatMessage`
- `TextareaInteractor` has been created to wrap the existing `TextareaTextManipulation` mixin, it will make future migrations easier and allow us to have a less polluted `<ChatComposer>`
Note ".chat-live-pane" has been renamed ".chat-channel"
Design for upload dropzone is from @chapoi
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)
* FIX: Emoji autocomplete “more” button not working
* Rely on setting an intial value on the filter input
This commit removes custom logic applied on initial filter and instead gives a param to use as value for the input, automatically triggering the existing filtering handler.
Other notes:
- Slightly changes the API to be able to set a filter and open the composer in one go
- Adds a very simple service spec
- Adds a system spec to fully validate the behavior

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
