Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

By default in Discourse, if a group grants a user a particular trust
level that is locked even if they are removed from the group.
With this new setting, when a user is removed from a group their
trust level is set to either the next highest trust level based on group
membership, or they are unlocked and promoted based on the default
mechanisms.
Group owners are regular users that can add or remove users to a group
The Admin UX allows admins to appoint group owners
The public group UX will display group owners first and unlock UI to
add and remove members
Group owners can only be appointed on non automatic groups
Group owners may not appoint another group owner
