Our schema allows `category.topic_id` to be NULL. Null values shouldn't actually happen in production, but it is very common in tests because `Fabricate(:category)` skips creating the definition topic to improve performance. Before this commit, a NULL category.topic_id would cause all subcategory topics to be excluded from a TopicQuery result. This is because, in postgres, `NULL <> anything` is falsy. Instead, we can use `IS DISTINCT FROM`, which will return true when NULL is compared to a non-NULL value.
This commit adds backend support for a new topics list that combines both the current unread and new topics lists. We're going to experiment with this new list (name TBD) internally and decide if this feature is something that we want to fully build.
Internal topic: t/77234.
TL4 users can already list and unlist topics, but they can't see
the unlisted topics. This change brings this to par by allowing
TL4 users to also see unlisted topics.
# Context
When a topic is reviewable by a group we give those group moderators some admin abilities including the ability to delete a topic.
# Problem
There are two main problems:
1. Currently when a group moderator deletes a topic they are redirected to root (not the same for staff)
2. Viewing the categories deleted topics (`c/foo/1/?status=deleted`) does not display the deleted topic to the group moderator (not the same for staff).
# Fix
If the `deleted_by` user is part a group that matches the `reviewable_by_group` on a topic then don't redirect. This is the default interaction for staff to give them the ability to do things like restore the topic in case it was accidentally deleted.
To render the deleted topics as expected for the group moderator I am utilizing [the guardian scope of `guardian.can_see_deleted_topics?` for said category](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/19618/files#diff-288e61b8bacdb29d9c2e05b42da6837b0036dcf1867332d977ca7c5e74a44297R802-R803)
* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.

This PR also makes it so `bot` (negative ID) and `system` users are always allowed
to send PMs, since the old conditional was just based on `enable_personal_messages`
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
When preloading topic_list data we were giving it a 'preload key' which was loosely based on the parameters of the list. However, it did not include all parameters, and mismatches between client/server-side logic would cause the preloaded data to be ignored.
This commit simplifies things by using a single key for all topic_list preloading. This works on the assumption that "The first topic_list the JS app will load is the one which was preloaded". That assumption also existed to some extent in the old design, so we don't expect any regressions here.
`TopicQueryParams` allows for `match_all_tags` to be passed as a query parameter. `TagsController` forces the value to be true.
This change allows a value to be passed, and only sets it to true if no value has been set. It then uses `ActiveModel::Type::Boolean.new.cast` to compare the value.
Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
At some point in the past we decided to rename the 'regular' notification state of topics/categories to 'normal'. However, some UI copy was missed when the initial renaming was done so this commit changes the spots that were missed to the new name.
We have not used anything related to bookmarks for PostAction
or UserAction records since 2020, bookmarks are their own thing
now. Deleting all this is just cleaning up old cruft.
If a group's messageable_level is set to nobody then staff can't should not be able to send PMs to it.

It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
