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`.

{
"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)`
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 8b18fd155679fa9b9d6e660ac74130cb79daabdc 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.

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.
The job was removed in 6dfe2fbe16a4096ff342ec8b626ac62a19eaa180 as part of a performance-related refactor.
The issue was that job was already enqueued in sidekiq and now that the file has been deleted, it's generating a lot of `uninitialized constant Jobs::Chat::AutoJoinChannelBatch` errors.
Restoring this file will help clear the sidekiq queue. We'll remove the job in a few months.
Internal ref - t/141563
This page object also attempts to make the update automation more resilient as we are seeing flakey specs on this codepath. The solution for now is to ensure we have the sequence: click button/button is loading/ button has finished loading.

It splits the hide_profile_and_presence user option and the default_hide_profile_and_presence site setting for more granular control. It keeps the option to hide the profile under /u/username/preferences/interface and adds the presence toggle in the quick user menu.

Chat channels that are linked to a category can be set to automatically join users.
This is handled by subscribing to the following events
- group_destroyed
- user_seen
- user_confirmed_email
- user_added_to_group
- user_removed_from_group
- category_updated
- site_setting_changed (for `chat_allowed_groups`)
As well as a
- hourly background job (`AutoJoinUsers`)
- `CreateCategoryChannel` service
- `UpdateChannel` service
There was however two issues with the current implementation
1. We were triggering a lot of background jobs, mostly because it was decided to batch to auto join/leave into groups of 1000 users, adding a lot of stress to the system
2. We had one "class" (a service or a background job) per "event" and all of them had slightly different ways to select users to join/leave, making it hard to keep everything in sync
This PR "simply" adds two new servicesL `AutoJoinChannels` and `AutoLeaveChannels` that takes care, in an efficient way, of all the cases when users might automatically join a leave a chat channel.
Every other changes come from the fact that we're now always calling either one of those services, depending on the event that happened.
In the making of these classes, a few bugs were encountered and fixed, notably
- A user is only ever able to access chat channels if and only if they're part of a group listed in the `chat_allowed_group` site setting
- A category that has no associated "category groups" is only accessible to staff members (and not "Everyone")
- A silenced user should not be able to automatically join channels
- We should not attempt to automatically join users to deleted chat channels
- There is no need to automatically join users to chat channels that have already more than `max_chat_auto_joined_users` users
Internal - t/135259 & t/70607
* DEV: add specs for auto join/leave channels services
* DEV: less hacky specs
* DEV: no instance variables in specs
https://github.com/mainmatter/qunit-dom/blob/master/API.md#isvisible will return true if offsetWidth or offsetHeight are zero which could happen in this case as the test could run before the image has loaded. By forcing a minimum height in the test we ensure it will be consistent.
Adds channels with unread threads (watching/tracking) to the sorting logic for both public and direct message channels.
Previously channels with unread threads could easily be missed as we didn't bump them to the top when new thread replies were created.
We are also adding a blue unread badge next to DM channels when there is an unread thread, as previously they weren't appearing as unread within the DMs tab (they only showed within the My Threads section).
This change will only prevent a cooked message with [grid] to show [grid] instead the content will be wrapped in `div class="d-image-grid"`. This is only enabled on messages made by bot, as regular users could use grid but have no reason to use it ATM. It will also not apply the decoration which shouldn't change the behavior more than just remove grid markup from the message
`chatThreadPane.isOpened` was returning `false` when it should return `true` due to an incorrect matching on the route.
Note that visiting a thread will focus the composer and the first escape will blur the input, only the second will close the panel.
This is because rules is pointing to the same array MARKDOWN_IT_RULES, which is modified directly. Modifying rules with << changes the original MARKDOWN_IT_RULES array, so every call to something works with the altered array state from previous calls.
The markdown it rule "heading" will only be used when the message is done by a bot, which means an id < 0.
This commit also adds a is-bot css class on messages made by a bot, for finer control.

The primary key is usually a bigint column, but the foreign key columns
are usually of integer type. This can lead to issues when joining these
columns due to mismatched types and different value ranges.
This was using a temporary plugin / test API to make tests pass. After
more careful consideration, we concluded that it is safe to alter the
tables directly.
Even for larger communities, with about 1M chat messages, the
slowest `ALTER` query runs in about 15 seconds, which well under the 30
seconds query timeout limit. As a result, chat messages will be delayed
for a few seconds, but the system will remain operational.
In the case where:
* Secure uploads were enabled
* Allow unsecure chat uploads was enabled
* For a site with login required enabled
When a chat upload was created, it was being marked as secure. Since
there is no provision for secure uploads in chat, this would lead to
broken uploads/images shown in the channel.
We can use the "public types" functionality of secure uploads to make
sure we never mark chat uploads as secure, and we can revisit this
whenever we get around to allowing secure uploads in chat.
Currently (for Ranked Choice only) a javascript exception is raised on very first vote, preventing the results from being rendered requiring a browser refresh (which doesn't error).
Resolves: TypeError: this.args.rankedChoiceOutcome.round_activity is undefined with simple addition of optional chaining operator.
Allows anonymous users to download the calendar file. Before, they were given the option, but it would fail silently with a `TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'user_option')`.
There's no UI for it at the moment but when creating a channel or updating it, it's now possible to pass `icon_upload_id` as param. This will be available on the channel as `icon_upload_url`.
A `UserHistory` entry will now be created when an automation is destroyed. This is visible in `/admin/logs/staff_action_logs`. id, name, trigger and script will be logged.
This commit also creates a service `DestroyAutomation` to hold all the destroy automation logic.

* DEV: join/leave presence chat-reply when streaming
This commit ensures that starting/stopping a chat message with the streaming option will automatically make the creator of the message as present in the chat-reply channel.
* implements start/stop reply
* not needed
