Whenever we create a chat message that is `in_reply_to` another
message, we want to lazily populate the thread record for the
message chain.
If there is no thread yet for the root message in the reply chain,
we create a new thread with the appropriate details, and use that
thread ID for every message in the chain that does not yet have
a thread ID.
* Root message (ID 1) - no thread ID
* Message (ID 2, in_reply_to 1) - no thread ID
* When I as a user create a message in reply to ID 2, we create a thread and apply it to ID 1, ID 2, and the new message
If there is a thread for the root message in the reply chain, we
do not create one, and use the thread ID for the newly created chat
message.
* Root message (ID 1) - thread ID 700
* Message (ID 2, in_reply_to 1) - thread ID 700
* When I as a user create a message in reply to ID 2, we use the existing thread ID 700 for the new message
We also support passing in the `thread_id` to `ChatMessageCreator`,
which will be used when replying to a message that is already part of
a thread, and we validate whether that `thread_id` is okay in the context
of the channel and also the reply chain.
This work is always done, regardless of channel `thread_enabled` settings
or the `enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions` site setting.
This commit does not include a large data migration to backfill threads for
all existing reply chains, its unnecessary to do this so early in the project,
we can do this later if necessary.
This commit also includes thread considerations in the `MessageMover` class:
* If the original message and N other messages of a thread is moved,
the remaining messages in the thread have a new thread created in
the old channel and are moved to it.
* The reply chain is not preserved for moved messages, so new threads are
not created in the destination channel.
In addition to this, I added a fix to also clear the `in_reply_to_id` of messages
in the old channel which are moved out of that channel for data cleanliness.
`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
* DEV: Rnemae channel path to just c
Also swap the channel id and channel slug params to be consistent with core.
* linting
* channel_path
* params in wrong order
* Drop slugify helper and channel route without slug
* Request slug and route models through the channel model if possible
* Add client side redirection for backwards-compatibility

We've had the UploadReference table for some time now in core,
but it was added after ChatUpload was and chat was just never
moved over to this new system.
This commit changes all chat code dealing with uploads to create/
update/delete/query UploadReference records instead of ChatUpload
records for consistency. At a later date we will drop the ChatUpload
table, but for now keeping it for data backup.
The migration + post migration are the same, we need both in case
any chat uploads are added/removed during deploy.
Note this commit also slightly changes internal API: channel instead of getChannel and updateCurrentUserChannelNotificationsSettings instead of updateCurrentUserChatChannelNotificationsSettings.
Also destroyChannel takes a second param which is the name confirmation instead of an optional object containing this confirmation. This is to enforce the fact that it's required.
In the future a top level jsdoc config file could be used instead of the hack tempfile, but while it's only an experiment for chat, it's probably good enough.
If the enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete setting is
enabled, then we should autolink hashtag references to the
archived channels (e.g. #blah::channel) for a nicer UX, and
just show the channel name if not (since doing #channelName
can lead to weird inconsistent results).
There was an issue with channel archiving, where at times the topic
creation could fail which left the archive in a bad state, as read-only
instead of archived. This commit does several things:
* Changes the ChatChannelArchiveService to validate the topic being
created first and if it is not valid report the topic creation errors
in the PM we send to the user
* Changes the UI message in the channel with the archive status to reflect
that topic creation failed
* Validate the new topic when starting the archive process from the UI,
and show the validation errors to the user straight away instead of
creating the archive record and starting the process
This also fixes another issue in the discourse_dev config which was
failing because YAML parsing does not enable all classes by default now,
which was making the seeding rake task for chat fail.
`last_message_sent_at` has a `NOT_NULL` constraint in the DB so it should be safe to use for sorting.
This was causing two flakeys:
```
1) UserNotifications.chat_summary with public channel email subject with regular mentions includes both channel titles when there are exactly two with unread mentions
Failure/Error: example.run
expected: "[Discourse] New message in Random 62 and Test channel"
got: "[Discourse] New message in Test channel and Random 62"
(compared using ==)

2) UserNotifications.chat_summary with public channel email subject with regular mentions displays a count when there are more than two channels with unread mentions
Failure/Error: example.run

```
This PR removes the limit added to max_users_notified_per_group_mention during #19034 and improve the performance when expanding mentions for large channel or groups by removing some N+1 queries and making the whole process async.
* Fully async chat message notifications
* Remove mention setting limit and get rid of N+1 queries
Note this is a very large PR, and some of it could have been splited, but keeping it one chunk made it to merge conflicts and to revert if necessary. Actual new code logic is also not that much, as most of the changes are removing js tests, adding system specs or moving things around.
To make it possible this commit is doing the following changes:
- converting (and adding new) existing js acceptances tests into system tests. This change was necessary to ensure as little regressions as possible while changing paradigm
- moving away from store. Using glimmer and tracked properties requires to have class objects everywhere and as a result works well with models. However store/adapters are suffering from many bugs and limitations. As a workaround the `chat-api` and `chat-channels-manager` are an answer to this problem by encapsulating backend calls and frontend storage logic; while still using js models.
- dropping `appEvents` as much as possible. Using tracked properties and a better local storage of channel models, allows to be much more reactive and doesn’t require arbitrary manual updates everywhere in the app.
- while working on replacing store, the existing work of a chat api (backend) has been continued to support more cases.
- removing code from the `chat` service to separate concerns, `chat-subscriptions-manager` and `chat-channels-manager`, being the largest examples of where the code has been rewritten/moved.
Future wok:
- improve behavior when closing/deleting a channel, it's already slightly buggy on live, it's rare enough that it's not a big issue, but should be improved
- improve page objects used in chat
- move more endpoints to the API
- finish temporarily skipped tests
- extract more code from the `chat` service
- use glimmer for `chat-messages`
- separate concerns in `chat-live-pane`
- eventually add js tests for `chat-api`, `chat-channels-manager` and `chat-subscriptions-manager`, they are indirectly heavy tested through system tests but it would be nice to at least test the public API

Follow up to a review in #18937, this commit changes the HashtagAutocompleteService to no longer use class variables to register hashtag data sources or types in context priority order. This is to address multisite concerns, where one site could e.g. have chat disabled and another might not. The filtered plugin registers I added will not be included if the plugin is disabled.
In both ChatMessage#rebake! and in ChatMessageProcessor
when we were calling ChatMessage.cook we were missing the
user_id to cook with, which causes missed hashtag cooks
because of missing permissions.
Previously, restricted category chat channel was available for all groups - even `readonly`. From now on, only user who belong to group with `create_post` or `full` permissions can access that chat channel.
This introduces another "section" of queries to the
hashtag autocomplete search, which returns results for
each type that start with the search term. So now results
will be in this order, and within these sections ordered
by the types in priority order:
1. Exact matches sorted by type
2. "starts with" sorted by type
3. Everything else sorted by type then name within type
Instead of passing `user` to `guardian.can_chat?`, we
can just use the inner `@user` that is part of the guardian
instance already to determine whether that user can chat,
since this is how it works for all other usages of guardian
even within chat.
Previously with this experimental feature a user would be
able to search for public channels for public categories
using the new #hashtag system even if they couldn't chat.
This commit fixes the hole.
This commit allows us to type # in the UI and present autocomplete
results immediately with the following logic for the topic composer,
and reversed for the chat composer:
* Categories the user can access and has not muted sorted by `topic_count`
* Tags the user can access and has not muted sorted by `topic_count`
* Chat channels the user is a member of sorted by `messages_count`
So in effect, we allow searching for hashtags without a search term.
To do this we add a new `search_without_term` to each data source so
each one can define how it wants to handle this logic.
* FEATURE: Enforce mention limits for chat messages
The first part of these changes adds a new setting called `max_mentions_per_chat_message`, which skips notifications when the message contains too many mentions. It also respects the `max_users_notified_per_group_mention` setting
and skips notifications if expanding a group mention would exceed it.
We also include a new component to display JIT warning for these limits to the user while composing a message.
* Simplify ignoring/muting filter in chat_notifier
* Post-send warnings for unsent warnings
* Improve pluralization
* Address review feedback
* Fix test
* Address second feedback round
* Third round of feedback

The settings tab of each category channel should now present the option to allow or disallow channel wide mentions: @here and @all.
When disallowed, using these mentions in the channel should have no effect.
When searching for categories it is possible for
a child category to have a slug that matches the term
exactly, but will not be found by .lookup since we
don't return these categories unless the ref matches
parent:child.
Introduces a search_sort method to each hashtag data
source so they can provide their custom sort logic of
results, in category's case putting all matching slugs
to the top regardless of parent/child relationship
then sorting by text.
* Do not search category name when searching channels to avoid
confusing results
* Overflow text in autocomplete menu with ... if it is too long
* Make autocomplete menu less height
This changes the hashtag search to first do a lookup to find
results where the slug exactly matches the
search term. Now when we search for hashtags, the
exact matches will be found first and put at the top of
the results.
`ChatChannelFetcher` has also been modified here to allow
for more options for performance -- we do not need to
query DM channels for secured IDs when looking up or searching
channels for hashtags, since they should never show in
results there (they have no slugs). Nor do we need to include
the channel archive records.
Also changes the limit of hashtag results to 20 by default
with a hidden site setting, and makes it so the scroll for the
results is overflowed.
Adds the description as a title="" attribute on the hashtag
autocomplete search items for tags, categories, and channels.
These descriptions can be seen by the user since they are
able to see the results that are returned by the search via
Guardian checks.
Currently when a category is deleted, if it has an associated chat
channel, the latter won’t be deleted automatically.
The fix is quite simple as we were simply missing a `dependent:
:destroy` option on the existing relation.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.

**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
This setting limits the number of users in a direct message. 0 means you can only create a direct message with yourself.

The mailer in charge of sending chat summary emails applies a filter to ensure only members of groups listed in the `chat allowed groups` setting receive them. However, when you set it to `everyone`, nobody will be notified because
we treat this group differently and don't create `GroupUser` records for every user on the site.
This commit changes the mailer to skip the filter when the `everyone` ID is in the list.
Currently it’s not possible to delete a category if an associated chat
channel is present even if there are no messages in this channel.
This can lead to annoying situations for our users.
This patch addresses the issue by checking if the channel is empty
instead of just checking if there is a channel.

Makes ChatMessage.last_editor_id and ChatMessageRevision.user_id
NOT NULL since they are always filled in now and the last commit
had a migration to backfill this data.
Follow up to 766bcbc684
This fixes a gaffe from that commit where I passed in the
guardian to ChatMessageUpdater but then forgot to remove
the old way of setting the guardian and user instance variables
from the chat_message that was passed in.
Also, it moves the ensure_can_edit_message! check from the
controller into ChatMessageUpdater so all the access
checks are in the same place.
This commit adds last_editor_id to ChatMessage for parity with Post in
core, as well as adding user_id to the ChatMessageRevision record since
we need to know who is making edits and revisions to messages, in case
in future we want to allow more than just the current user to edit chat
messages. The backfill for data here simply uses the record's creating
user ID, but in future if we allow other people to edit the messages it
will use their ID.
This is a followup of the previous refactor where we created two new
models to handle all the dedicated logic that was present in the
`ChatChannel` model.
For the sake of consistency, `DMChannel` has been renamed to
`DirectMessageChannel` and the previous `DirectMessageChannel` model is
now named `DirectMessage`. This should help reasoning about direct
messages.
