The presence service would retry `/presence/update` requests every second (or immediately in tests) in case where server returns 429 (rate limit) errors. That could lead to infinite spamming (until user refreshed tab/tabs)

The new `prioritize_exact_search_match` can be used to force the search
algorithm to prioritize exact term matches in title when ranking results.
This is scoped narrowly to titles for cases such as a topic titled:
"organisation chart" and a search of "org chart".
If we scoped this wider, all discussion about "org chart" would float to
the top and leave a very common title de-prioritized.
This is a hidden site setting and it has some performance impact due
to double ranking.
That said, performance impact is somewhat mitigated cause ranking on
title alone is a very cheap operation.
Currently `Topic#pm_topic_count` is a count of all personal messages tagged for a given tag. As a result, any user with access to PM tags can poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new personal message has been created using that tag even if the user does not have access to the personal message. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
With this commit, `Topic#pm_topic_count` is hidden from users by default unless the `display_personal_messages_tag_counts` site setting is enabled.
* FEATURE: allow restricting duplication in search index
This introduces the site setting `max_duplicate_search_index_terms`.
Using this number we limit the amount of duplication in our search index.
This allows us to more correctly weight title searches, so bloated posts
don't unfairly bump to the top of search results.
This feature is completely disabled by default and behind a site setting
We will experiment with it first. Note entire search index must be rebuilt
for it to take effect.

Adds hidden `enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions`
setting which will control whether threads show in the UI,
alongside the `ChatChannel.threading_enabled` boolean column,
which does the same. The former is a global switch for this
feature, while the latter can be used to allow single channels
to show this new functionality if the site setting is true.
Neither setting impacts whether `ChatThread` records (which will
be added in a future PR) will be created, they will always be
made regardless.
In some situations, these HTTP calls would cause some cache to warmup and send a `/distributed_hash` message-bus message. We can avoid tracking those by passing a specific channel name to `track_publish`.
`last_message_sent_at` could be equal and as a result the order would be random causing random spec failures in plugins/chat/spec/mailers/user_notifications_spec.rb:182
A while back the definition of TL was changed but many
areas in the codebase still use the term 'Regular user'
despite it having some implicit meaning (TL2).
See 20140905055251_rename_trust_level_badges.rb
This is necessary so MacOS Ventura (and in 2023 iOS) can use our new
default push notifications.
We still disable caching of dynamic routes on Apple devices due to it's
always being buggy there.
The `git` version in our discourse_test docker image was recently updated to include a permissions check before running any git commands. For this to pass, the owner of the discourse directory needs to match the user running any git commands.
Under GitHub actions, by default the working directory is created with uid=1000 as the owner. We run all our tests as `root`, so this mismatch causes git to raise the permissions error. We can't switch to run the entire workflow as the `discourse (uid=1000)` user because our discourse_test image is not configured to allow `discourse` access to postgres/redis directories. For now, this commit updates the working directory's owner to match the user running the workflow.
Partial username or name matches were shown together with metadata
matched results. This created a bad user experience because results
that look unrelated were before even partial or exact group matches.
Behavior should be very similar but the code is simplified and it should fix various bugs where the card was showing out of screen even if we had available space.
Using a shared channel with per-message permissions means that every client is updated with the channel's 'last_id', even if there are no messages available to them. Per-user channel names avoid this problem - the last_id will only be incremented when there is a message for the given user.
* FIX: correct various mistakes in chat-notification-manager
- The code was still handling global chat through its own variable instead of relying on `ChatStateManager`
- There was a typo were the code was using `this` instead of `opts`
Note notifications are a future big work of this year and this should be heavily reworked and tested.
* linting
This commits adds a database migration to limit the user status to 100
characters, limits the user status in the UI and makes sure that the
emoji is valid.

This simplifies the crawler-linkback-list to only be a point of reference to the actual DiscussionForumPosting objects.
See "Summary page": https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/carousel?hl=en#summary-page
> [It] defines an ItemList, where each ListItem has only three properties: @type (set to ListItem), position (the position in the list), and url (the URL of a page with full details about that item).
This replaces the position declared as `#123` with the more simple version `123`.
The property position may be of type Integer or Text. A value of type Integer, or more precise of type Text which simply casts to integer, is sufficient here.
See: https://schema.org/position
In category-view the topic-list already uses this notation for the position of topics:
`<meta itemprop="position" content="123">`
Many users seems surprised by prefix matching in search leading to
unexpected results.
Over the years we always would return results starting with a search term
and not expect exact matches.
Meaning a search for `abra` would find `abracadabra`
This introduces the Site Setting `enable_search_prefix_matching` which
defaults to true. (behavior unchanged)
We plan to experiment on select sites with exact matches to see if the
results are less surprising
This commit introduces the ability to edit the channel
slug from the About tab for the chat channel when the user
is admin. Similar to the create channel modal functionality
introduced in 641e94f, if
the slug is left empty then we autogenerate a slug based
on the channel name, and if the user just changes the slug
manually we use that instead.
We do not do any link remapping or anything else of the
sort, when the category slug is changed that does not happen
either.
When the `tags_listed_by_group` site setting is disable, we were seeing
the N+1 queries problem when multiple `CategoryTag` records are listed.
This commit fixes that by ensuring that we are not filtering through the
category `tags` association after the association has been eager loaded.
