DEV: various improvements to devex on chat (#21612)
- Improves styleguide support
- Adds toggle color scheme to styleguide
- Adds properties mutators to styleguide
- Attempts to quit a session as soon as done with it in system specs, this should at least free resources faster
- Refactors fabricators to simplify them
- Adds more fabricators (uploads for example)
- Starts implementing components pattern in system specs
- Uses Chat::Message creator to create messages in system specs, this should help to have more real specs as the side effects should now happen

DEV: Disable SearchIndexer after fabrication (#21378)
SearchIndexer is only automatically disabled in `before_all` and `before` blocks which means at the start
of test runs. Enabling the SearchIndexer in one `fab!` block will affect
all other `fab!` blocks which is not ideal as we may be indexing stuff
for search when we don't need to.

430d6308a8 FIX: Render links with subfolders properly in Discobot
Currently, some links aren’t properly built in Discobot when Discourse
is hosted in a subfolder. This is because we’re providing
`Discourse.base_url` to the Rails helpers which contains the base URL
*with* the prefix. But Rails helpers already handle this prefix so the
resulting link gets the prefix twice.

The fix is quite simple: use `Discourse.base_url_no_prefix` instead of
`Discourse.base_url`.

DEV: Introduces a wait_for_animation system spec helper (#20573)
This is used when calling click_message_action_mobile to wait
for the message actions menu to finish animating up before
attempting to click on it using capybara. Without this, in
the time between capybara getting the x,y position of a menu
item to click on and the click being fired, the animating menu
can move that item out of the way.

With the new helper, we constantly compare x,y client rect positions
for the animating element and wait for them to stabilise. Once they
do, it means the animation is done, and it is safe to click on
anything within the element.

Re-enables mobile system specs for chat that were ignored because
of this.

FIX: domain searches not working properly for URLs (#20136)
If a post contains domain with a word that stems to a non prefix single
words will not match it.

For example: in happy.com, `happy` stems to `happi`. Thus searches for happy
will not find URLs with it included.

This bloats the index a tiny bit, but impact is limited.

Will require a full reindex of search to take effect. 

When we are done refining search we can consider a full version bump.

FEATURE: Allow changing slug on create channel (#19928)
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.

SECURITY: Default tags to show count of topics in unrestricted categories (#19916)
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.

The following changes are introduced in this commit:

1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information. 
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope. 
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.

DEV: Improve performance of system test sign_in helper (#19579)
Previously, calling `sign_in` would cause the browser to be redirected to `/`, and would cause the Ember app to boot. We would then call `visit()`, causing the app to boot for a second time.

This commit adds a `redirect=false` option to the `/session/username/become` route. This avoids the unnecessary boot of the app, and leads to significantly faster system spec run times.

In local testing, this takes the full system-spec suite for chat from ~6min to ~4min.

This is to address multisite concerns, where one site could e.g. have chat disabled and another might not. The filtered plugin registers I added will not be included if the plugin is disabled.

FIX: Remove magic time ranges (#19477)
In #15474 we introduced dedicated support for date ranges. As part of that
change we added a fallback of "magic" date ranges, which treats dates in
any paragraph with exactly two dates as a range. There were discussions
about migrating all such paragraphs to use the new date range element, but
it was ultimately decided against.

This change removes the fallback and, as a bonus, adds support for multiple
date ranges in the same paragraph.

FEATURE: Generic hashtag autocomplete lookup and markdown cooking (#18937)
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.

**Serverside**

We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.

Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.

The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.

When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.

**Markdown**

The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.

This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.

**Chat Channels**

This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.

------

**Known Rough Edges**

- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil

DEV: Introduce TopicGuardian#can_see_topic_ids method (#18692)
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.

DEV: Rename secure_media to secure_uploads (#18376)
This commit renames all secure_media related settings to secure_uploads_* along with the associated functionality.

This is being done because "media" does not really cover it, we aren't just doing this for images and videos etc. but for all uploads in the site.

Additionally, in future we want to secure more types of uploads, and enable a kind of "mixed mode" where some uploads are secure and some are not, so keeping media in the name is just confusing.

This also keeps compatibility with the `secure-media-uploads` path, and changes new
secure URLs to be `secure-uploads`.

Deprecated settings:

* secure_media -> secure_uploads
* secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails -> secure_uploads_allow_embed_images_in_emails
* secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb -> secure_uploads_max_email_embed_image_size_kb

DEV: Minimal first pass of rails system test setup (#16311)
This commit introduces rails system tests run with chromedriver, selenium,
and headless chrome to our testing toolbox.

We use the `webdrivers` gem and `selenium-webdriver` which is what
the latest Rails uses so the tests run locally and in CI out of the box.

You can use `SELENIUM_VERBOSE_DRIVER_LOGS=1` to show extra
verbose logs of what selenium is doing to communicate with the system
tests.

By default JS logs are verbose so errors from JS are shown when
running system tests, you can disable this with
`SELENIUM_DISABLE_VERBOSE_JS_LOGS=1`

You can use `SELENIUM_HEADLESS=0` to run the system
tests inside a chrome browser instead of headless, which can be useful to debug things
and see what the spec sees. See note above about `bin/ember-cli` to avoid
surprises.

I have modified `bin/turbo_rspec` to exclude `spec/system` by default,
support for parallel system specs is a little shaky right now and we don't
want them slowing down the turbo by default either.

### PageObjects and System Tests

To make querying and inspecting parts of the page easier
and more reusable inbetween system tests, we are using the
concept of [PageObjects](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/test_practices/encouraged/page_object_models/) in
our system tests. A "Page" here is generally corresponds to
an overarching ember route, e.g. "Topic" for `/t/324345/some-topic`,
and this contains logic for querying components within the topic
such as "Posts".

I have also split "Modals" into their own entity. Further down the
line we may want to explore creating independent "Component"
contexts.

Capybara DSL should be included in each PageObject class,
reference for this can be found at https://rubydoc.info/github/teamcapybara/capybara/master#the-dsl

For system tests, since they are so slow, we want to focus on
the "happy path" and not do every different possible context
and branch check using them. They are meant to be overarching
tests that check a number of things are correct using the full stack
from JS and ember to rails to ruby and then the database.

### CI Setup

Whenever a system spec fails, a screenshot
is taken and a build artifact is produced _after the entire CI run is complete_,
which can be downloaded from the Actions UI in the repo.

Most importantly, a step to build the Ember app using Ember CLI
is needed, otherwise the JS assets cannot be found by capybara:

```
- name: Build Ember CLI
  run: bin/ember-cli --build
```

A new `--build` argument has been added to `bin/ember-cli` for this
case, which is not needed locally if you already have the discourse
rails server running via `bin/ember-cli -u` since the whole server is built and
set up by default.

A bit of a mixed bag, this addresses several edge areas of bookmarks and makes them compatible with polymorphic bookmarks (hidden behind the `use_polymorphic_bookmarks` site setting). The main ones are:

* ExportUserArchive compatibility
* SyncTopicUserBookmarked job compatibility
* Sending different notifications for the bookmark reminders based on the bookmarkable type
* Import scripts compatibility
* BookmarkReminderNotificationHandler compatibility

This PR also refactors the `register_bookmarkable` API so it accepts a class descended from a `BaseBookmarkable` class instead. This was done because we kept having to add more and more lambdas/properties inline and it was very messy, so a factory pattern is cleaner. The classes can be tested independently as well.

Some later PRs will address some other areas like the discourse narrative bot, advanced search, reports, and the .ics endpoint for bookmarks.

FEATURE: Add 2FA support to the Discourse Connect Provider protocol (#16386)
Discourse has the Discourse Connect Provider protocol that makes it possible to
use a Discourse instance as an identity provider for external sites. As a
natural extension to this protocol, this PR adds a new feature that makes it
possible to use Discourse as a 2FA provider as well as an identity provider.

The rationale for this change is that it's very difficult to implement 2FA
support in a website and if you have multiple websites that need to have 2FA,
it's unrealistic to build and maintain a separate 2FA implementation for each
one. But with this change, you can piggyback on Discourse to take care of all
the 2FA details for you for as many sites as you wish.

To use Discourse as a 2FA provider, you'll need to follow this guide:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/32974. It walks you through what you need to
implement on your end/site and how to configure your Discourse instance. Once
you're done, there is only one additional thing you need to do which is to
include `require_2fa=true` in the payload that you send to Discourse.

When Discourse sees `require_2fa=true`, it'll prompt the user to confirm their
2FA using whatever methods they've enabled (TOTP or security keys), and once
they confirm they'll be redirected back to the return URL you've configured and
the payload will contain `confirmed_2fa=true`. If the user has no 2FA methods
enabled however, the payload will not contain `confirmed_2fa`, but it will
contain `no_2fa_methods=true`.

You'll need to be careful to re-run all the security checks and ensure the user
can still access the resource on your site after they return from Discourse.
This is very important because there's nothing that guarantees the user that
will come back from Discourse after they confirm 2FA is the same user that
you've redirected to Discourse.
