DEV: Do not manipulate theme module paths at build-time (#23148)
Manipulating theme module paths means that the paths you author are not the ones used at runtime. This can lead to some very unexpected behavior and potential module name clashes. It also meant that the refactor in 16c6ab8661 was unable to correctly match up theme connector js/templates.

While this could technically be a breaking change, I think it is reasonably safe because:

1. Themes are already forced to use relative paths when referencing their own modules (since they're namespaced based on the site-specific id). The only time this might be problematic is when theme tests reference modules in the theme's main `javascripts` directory

2. For things like components/services/controllers/etc. our custom Ember resolver works backwards from the end of the path, so adding `discourse/` in the middle will not affect resolution.

Additionally, we aim to support Safari on iOS 15.7+.

Built With

  • Ruby on Rails — Our back end API is a Rails app. It responds to requests RESTfully in JSON.
  • Ember.js — Our front end is an Ember.js app that communicates with the Rails API.
  • PostgreSQL — Our main data store is in Postgres.
  • Redis — We use Redis as a cache and for transient data.
  • BrowserStack — We use BrowserStack to test on real devices and browsers.

Plus lots of Ruby Gems, a complete list of which is at /main/Gemfile.
