When uploads are stored on S3, by default Discourse will fetch the avatars and proxy them through to the requesting client. This is simple, but it can lead to significant inbound/outbound network load in the hosting environment.
This commit adds an optional redirect_avatar_requests GlobalSetting. When enabled, requests for user avatars will be redirected to the S3 asset instead of being proxied. This adds an extra round-trip for clients, but it should significantly reduce server load. To mitigate that extra round-trip for clients, a CDN with 'follow redirect' capability could be used.
In an effort to modernize our codebase to the latest Ember version we have selected the Topic Timeline as a candidate to be refactored. The topic timeline component was originally built with `Widgets` and this PR will upgrade it to `Glimmer Components`.
The refactored timeline is hidden by default behind a group flag, `SiteSetting.enable_experimental_topic_timeline_groups`. Being part of a group included in this site setting will make the new timeline available for testing.
## Other points of interest
This PR introduces a `Draggable Modifier` available to all components, which will take the place of the existing _drag functionality_ exclusive to widgets.
It can be included like so:
```
{{draggable didStartDrag=@didStartDrag didEndDrag=@didEndDrag dragMove=@dragMove }}
```
This PR adds separate notification indicators for PMs and reviewables that have arrived since the last time the user opened the notifications menu.
The PM indicator is the strongest one of all three indicators followed by the reviewable indicator and then finally the blue indicator. This means that if there's a new PM and a new reviewable, then the PM indicator will be shown.

It used to fail without displaying an error message if no upload
extensions were authorized. This also disables the button in the
first place to avoid displaying an error to the user (the error
will be displayed only when drag and dropping a file).
Adds stats for API and user API requests similar to regular page views.
This comes with a new report to visualize API requests per day like the
consolidated page views one.
This adds API scope for the user status. This also adds a get method to the user status controller. We didn't need a dedicated method that returns status before because the server returns status with user objects, but I think we need to provide this method for API clients.
We now use Ember CLI (core/plugins) and DiscourseJSProcessor (themes) for all Ember and template compilation. This commit removes the remnants of the legacy Sprockets-based Ember compilation system.
Sprockets, and its DiscourseJSProcess-based Babel transformations, is still in use for a few assets. Ideally that will be removed/replaced in the near future.
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.
Product has decided that the tracked section link provides very little
value at this moment in time so we're removing it.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/245374 for more context.
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
The hidden site setting `suppress_secured_categories_from_admin` will
suppress visibility of categories without explicit access from admins
in a few key areas (category drop downs and topic lists)
It is not intended to be a security wall since admins can amend any site
setting. Instead it is feature that allows hiding the categories from the
UI.
Admins will still be able to see topics in categories without explicit
access using direct URLs or flags.

Trying out changes to reduce the number of nav items in the experimental horizontal user nav. These changes should only appear with the redesigned_user_page_nav_enabled feature flag.
1. Created a new "Tracking" route. This combines some tracking-related settings from Notifications and Category and Tag tracking (which were separate tabs previously). Don't love the layout yet, but it's something that we can work on.
2. Moved some user-related settings out of Notifications and to the
Users tab. These seem more user-related to me, and it's nice that we can
associate enabling messages with the setting to limit who can send
messages.
3. Moved the App tab (lists app permissions) to be within the Security tab. It's very similar to Recently Used Devices.
When opening the invite acceptance page when the user
was already logged in, we were still showing the Accept
Invitation prompt even if the user had already redeemed
the invitation and was present in the `InvitedUser` table.
This would lead to errors when the user clicked on the button.
This commit fixes the issue by hiding the Accept Invitation
button and showing an error message instead indicating that
the user had already redeemed the invitation. This only applies
to multi-use invite links.

This commit fixes the issue where the sub-category topic list was not
loading for new-topic routes. Since we do not need to preload topic
lists for new topic/message routes this commit adds a no-op controller
that prevents topic lists pre loading and at the same time fixes the sub
category topics not loading issue.
This commit automatically ensures that category channels
have slugs when they are created or updated based on the
channel name, category name, or existing slug. The behaviour
has been copied from the Category model.
We also include a backfill here with a simplified version
of Slug.for with deduplication to fill the slugs for already
created Category chat channels.
The channel slug is also now used for chat notifications,
and for the UI and navigation for chat. `slugifyChannel`
is still used, but now does the following fallback:
* Uses channel.slug if it is present
* Uses channel.escapedTitle if it is present
* Uses channel.title if it is present
In future we may want to remove this altogether
and always rely on the slug being present, but this
is currently not possible because we are not generating
slugs for DM channels at this point.
Previously if a specific plugin route was not available (e.g. there was an error loading the plugin's JS due to an ad blocker), the entire page would fail to load. This commit updates the behavior to catch this kind of issue and display a user-friendly message at the top of the screen.
