Meta thread: https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-dismiss-unread-if-last-post-is-an-assign-or-whisper/131823/7
* when sending a whisper, the highest_staff_post_number is set
in the next_post_number method for a Topic, but the
highest_post_number is left alone. this leaves a situation
where highest_staff_post_number is > highest_post_number
* when TopicsBulkAction#dismiss_posts was run, it was only setting the topic_user
highest_seen_post_number using the highest_post_number from the topic, so if
the user was staff and the last post in a topic was a whisper
their highest seen number was not set, and the topic stayed unread
Found through testing that the bug wasn't to do with Assign/Unassign as they do not affect the post numbers, only whispering does.
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

Messages are now in 3 buckets
- Inbox for all new messages
- Sent for all sent messages
- Archive for all messages you are done with
You can select messages from your Inbox or Sent and move them to your Archive,
you can move messages out of your Archive similarly
Similar concept applied to group messages, except that archiving and unarchiving
will apply to all group members
