FEATURE: Only approved flags for post counters
* Why was this change necessary?
The counters for flagged posts in the user's profile and user index from
the admin view include flags that were rejected, ignored or pending
review. This introduces unnecessary noise. Also the flagged posts
counter in the user's profile includes custom flags which add further
noise to this signal.
* How does it address the problem?
* Modifying User#flags_received_count to return posts with only approved
standard flags
* Refactoring User#number_of_flagged_posts to alias to
User#flags_received_count
* Updating the flagged post staff counter hyperlink to navigate to a
filtered view of that user's approved flagged posts to maintain
consistency with the counter
* Adding system tests for the profile page to cover the flagged posts
staff counter
In the query generated by `TopicTrackingState.report`, there are two
subqueies being executed. The first subquery fetches all the topics
that are new for a given user while the second subquery fetches all the topics with
unread posts for a given user. For the second subquery, there is a
filter `topics.updated_at >= user_stats.first_unread_at` which is used
as a performance optimisation to reduce the number of rows that PG has
to scan through the `topics` table.
However, we started to notice in production that the PG planner doesn't
always execute the filter first to reduce the number of rows that it has
to scan through. Running the following query in one of our production
instance,

From the execution plan, we can see the most of the time is spent
joining about 42888 rows in the `topics` table to the `topic_users` table.
However, we know that we only have to scan through a
subset of the `topics` table because the user's last unread at is '2023-07-20 11:33:05'.
If we filter the `topics` table with `topics.updated_at >= '2023-07-20 11:33:05'`, this would only
return about 1500 rows.
From our testing in production, the PG planner is able to execute a
better query plan when we avoid the unnecessary joins on `user_stats` just to be
able to get the user's `UserStat#first_unread_at`. Instead, we can just
pass the value of `UserStat#first_unread_at` directly as a query
parameter.

With the new query, PG first does an index scan using the `index_topics_on_updated_at_public` index to filter away most of the topics making the subsequent joins much cheaper. Total query time has been reduced from ~90ms to ~5ms.
This optimisation will mostly affect users with very few/recent unread topics since a large `UserStat#firsts_unread_at` value will still mean scanning through a large portion of the `topics` table.
This is a similar fix to 32d4810e2b
Why this change?
Prior to this change, there is a bug in `TopicsController#bulk`
where it does not dismiss new unred posts in sub-subcategories when the
`category_id` and `include_subcategories=true` params are present. This
is because the controller did not account for sub-subcategories when
fetching the category ids of the new topics that should be dismissed.
This commit fixes the problem by relying on the `Category.subcategory_ids` class
method which accounts for sub-subcategories.
We currently are accumulating orphaned upload references whenever drafts are deleted.
This change deals with future cases by adding a dependent strategy of delete_all on the Draft#upload_references association. (We don't really need destroy strategy here, since UploadReference is a simple data bag and there are no validations or callbacks on the model.)
It deals with existing cases through a migration that deletes all existing, orphaned draft upload references.
We already handled 429 rate limit errors correctly. This commit adds backoff logic to other types of error to avoid requests being retried every second.
We were attempting to fetch from last read but this is actually complicated to get right when you have a lot unread, as we might still have more to load after this but the last unread id is still the same and would make the user end up in a loop.
A previous change updated `ReviewableQueuedPost`'s `created_by`
to be consistent with other reviewable types. It assigns
the the creator of the post being queued to `target_created_by` and sets
the `created_by` to the creator of the reviewable itself.
This fix updates some of the `created_by` references missed during the
intial fix.
The store expects values for property names ending with `_id` to be a resource id
and `_ids` to be an array of resource ids.
This change ensures the store gracefully handles situations where an
embedded field with incompliant data structure sneaks its way to production.
Internal oneboxes to posts that contained oneboxed github links to
commits or PRs with long enough commit messages to have the `show-more`
and the `excerpt hidden` classes in their html were being stripped of
their content resulting in empty internal oneboxes.

This fixes a regression introduced in:
0b3cf83e3c
By default, only 10 members are highlighted on group cards. However,
joining/leaving a big group via the buttons on the group card results in
up to 50 members being highlighted. For large groups, this causes the card
to move off-screen.
This happens because, while the initial render explicitly fetches only 10
members, we don't seem to apply the same limit as part of the member
reload performed when a user leaves/joins via the buttons on the card.
This PR fixes that by only making the first 10 users available for
highlight regardless of the number of members loaded in the store.
What is the problem here?
In multiple controllers, we are accepting a `limit` params but do not
impose any upper bound on the values being accepted. Without an upper
bound, we may be allowing arbituary users from generating DB queries
which may end up exhausing the resources on the server.
What is the fix here?
A new `fetch_limit_from_params` helper method is introduced in
`ApplicationController` that can be used by controller actions to safely
get the limit from the params as a default limit and maximum limit has
to be set. When an invalid limit params is encountered, the server will
respond with the 400 response code.

Using pinch-zoom on mobile devices with lightbox images can lead to scrolling of background content.
This change handles this by capturing the window.scrollY value when opening the lightbox, then when exiting we check if the scroll position has changed and reset it.
What is the context for this change?
Prior to this change, there is a bug in `TopicsController#reset_new`
where it does not dismiss new topics in sub-subcategories when the
`category_id` and `include_subcategories=true` params are present. This
is because the controller did not account for sub-subcategories when
fetching the category ids of the new topics that should be dismissed.
This commit fixes the problem by relying on the `Category.subcategory_ids` class
method which accounts for sub-subcategories.
This is happening because despite the user already existing in the forum, the `SingleSignOnRecord` doesn't exist and "require_activation" is set on the provider, causing us to skip looking for the email, and resulting in us creating a new User then seeing Validation failed: Primary email has already been taken when DiscourseConnect is attempting to make a new account.
