Blocks allow BOTS to augment the capacities of a chat message. At the moment only one block is available: `actions`, accepting only one type of element: `button`.

#### Fields
| Field | Type | Description | Required? |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| type | string | For a button, type is always `button` | Yes |
| text | object | A text object holding the type and text. Max 75 characters | Yes |

{
"type": "actions",
"block_id": "actions_1",
"elements": [
{
"type": "button",
"text": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "Ok"
},
"value": "ok",
"action_id": "button_1"
}
]
}
```
## Interactions
When a user interactions with a button the following flow will happen:
- We send an interaction request to the server
- Server checks if the user can make this interaction
- If the user can make this interaction, the server will:
* `DiscourseEvent.trigger(:chat_message_interaction, interaction)`
* return a JSON document
```json
{
"interaction": {
"user": {
"id": 1,
"username": "j.jaffeux"
},
"channel": {
"id": 1,
"title": "Staff"
},
"message": {
"id": 1,
"text": "test",
"user_id": -1
},
"action": {
"text": {
"text": "How to install themes?",
"type": "plain_text"
},
"type": "button",
"value": "click_me_123",
"action_id": "bf4f30b9-de99-4959-b3f5-632a6a1add04"
}
}
}
```
* Fire a `appEvents.trigger("chat:message_interaction", interaction)`
As part of a previous fix we changed which groups are serialized for a user, in order to fix a bug in the default group selector under user preferences.
However, we should only change this when serializing the current user. This change combines the old code-path and the new based on who is serializing.
Non-bundled plugins are gitignore'd, but we want them to show up in search tools / IDEs. Adding a `.ignore` file with a negative glob lets us achieve this.
Previously, it was up to individuals to work out how to configure their editor to do this when working on plugins.
Also adds negative matchers for the vscode config files, so they show up in the file picker & search.
* DEV: Gracefully handle remaps which violate DB column constraints
This change implements length constraint enforcement to skip remaps
which exceed column max lengths
* DEV: Only perform skipped column stats lookup when verbose is true
* DEV: Tidy up specs
* DEV: Make skipping violating remap behaviour opt-in
This change introduces a new `skip_max_length_violations` param for
`remap`, set to `false` by default to ensure we still continue to fail
hard when max lenth constraints are violated.
To aid in quick resolution when remaps fail, this change also
adds more context to the exception message to include the offending table
and column information

Firstly, we need to understand that ActiveRecord can be
connected to a role which prevent writes and this happens in Discourse when a
replica database has been setup for failover purposes. When a role
prevent writes from happening, ActiveRecord will raise the
`ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError` if a write query is attempted.
Secondly, theme fields are baked at runtime within GET requests. The
baking process involves writing the baked value to the
`ThemeField#baked_value` column in the database.
If we combine the two points above, we can see how the writing of the
baked value to the database will trigger a `ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError`
in a GET requests when the database is connected to a role preventing
writes. However, failing to bake a theme is not the end of the world and
should not cause GET requests to fail. Therefore, this commit adds a rescue
for `ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError` in the `ThemeField#ensure_baked!`
method.

Due to the S3 dualstack endpoint change, sites with
S3 backups configured but _not_ S3 uploads were erroring,
with admins unable to access the backups page. This
commit fixes the error by not enabling S3 dualstack
endpoints if S3 uploads have not been enabled, backups
don't need to use them.

When using chat in drawer mode, after you've clicked on a chat bookmark in the user menu, clicking any other chat bookmark would "do nothing".
In 8b18fd1556 we added an optimization to prevent the same route from being reloaded, but it ended up breaking the bookmarks.
This commit reverts the changed made the above commit and adds a system specs that ensure we can click two chat bookmarks in the user menu when using chat in drawer mode.

When a parent category shows topics from subcategories, dismissing
should dismiss posts in both parent and subcategories.

- Fixes ember-cli live reload
- Automatically configures VSCode & extensions
Previously we only counted mentions that were made within channels, however for threads this was never implemented.
This change adds a mention count to the ThreadUnreadsQuery, which is used for channel thread lists and the user thread list. We are also expanding channel mentions count to include mentions within threads.
The goal is to have a more consistent urgent badge across chat, in places such as channel lists and the chat header.
* This commits ports the personal messages conversion step from smf1.rb into smf2.rb
* Improves error handling for skipped messages
* also adds a brief explanation for possible improvements to topic matching in PMs
Redesign the permalinks page to follow the UX guide. In addition, the ability to edit permalinks was added.
This change includes:
- move to RestModel
- added Validations
- update endpoint and clear old values after the update
- system specs and improvements for unit tests
