* Add silent column to mentions
* Save silent mentions in ActivityPub Create handler and optimize it
Move networking calls out of the database transaction
* Add "limited" visibility level masked as "private" in the API
Unlike DMs, limited statuses are pushed into home feeds. The access
control rules between direct and limited statuses is almost the same,
except for counter and conversation logic
* Ensure silent column is non-null, add spec
* Ensure filters don't check silent mentions for blocks/mutes
As those are "this person is also allowed to see" rather than "this
person is involved", therefore does not warrant filtering
* Clean up code
* Use Status#active_mentions to limit returned mentions
* Fix code style issues
* Use Status#active_mentions in Notification
And remove stream_entry eager-loading from Notification
Up until now, the order seemed to be in the *opposite* order,
which caused the WebUI to populate mentions in reversed order
when replying to toots local to one's instance.
* Fix JavaScript interface with long IDs
Somewhat predictably, the JS interface handled IDs as numbers, which in
JS are IEEE double-precision floats. This loses some precision when
working with numbers as large as those generated by the new ID scheme,
so we instead handle them here as strings. This is relatively simple,
and doesn't appear to have caused any problems, but should definitely
be tested more thoroughly than the built-in tests. Several days of use
appear to support this working properly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The major(!) change here is that IDs are now returned as strings by the
REST endpoints, rather than as integers. In practice, relatively few
changes were required to make the existing JS UI work with this change,
but it will likely hit API clients pretty hard: it's an entirely
different type to consume. (The one API client I tested, Tusky, handles
this with no problems, however.)
Twitter ran into this issue when introducing Snowflake IDs, and decided
to instead introduce an `id_str` field in JSON responses. I have opted
to *not* do that, and instead force all IDs to 64-bit integers
represented by strings in one go. (I believe Twitter exacerbated their
problem by rolling out the changes three times: once for statuses, once
for DMs, and once for user IDs, as well as by leaving an integer ID
value in JSON. As they said, "If you’re using the `id` field with JSON
in a Javascript-related language, there is a very high likelihood that
the integers will be silently munged by Javascript interpreters. In most
cases, this will result in behavior such as being unable to load or
delete a specific direct message, because the ID you're sending to the
API is different than the actual identifier associated with the
message." [1]) However, given that this is a significant change for API
users, alternatives or a transition time may be appropriate.

* Additional fixes for stringified IDs in JSON
These should be the last two. These were identified using eslint to try
to identify any plain casts to JavaScript numbers. (Some such casts are
legitimate, but these were not.)
Adding the following to .eslintrc.yml will identify casts to numbers:
~~~
no-restricted-syntax:
- warn
- selector: UnaryExpression[operator='+'] > :not(Literal)
message: Avoid the use of unary +
- selector: CallExpression[callee.name='Number']
message: Casting with Number() may coerce string IDs to numbers
~~~
The remaining three casts appear legitimate: two casts to array indices,
one in a server to turn an environment variable into a number.
* Back out RelationshipsController Change
This was made to make a test a bit less flakey, but has nothing to
do with this branch.
* Change internal streaming payloads to stringified IDs as well
Per
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/5019#issuecomment-330736452
we need these changes to send deleted status IDs as strings, not
integers.
* Custom emoji
- In OStatus: `<link rel="emoji" name="coolcat" href="http://..." />`
- In ActivityPub: `{ type: "Emoji", name: ":coolcat:", href: "http://..." }`
- In REST API: Status object includes `emojis` array (`shortcode`, `url`)
- Domain blocks with reject media stop emojis
- Emoji file up to 50KB
- Web UI handles custom emojis
- Static pages render custom emojis as `<img />` tags
Side effects:
- Undo #4500 optimization, as I needed to modify it to restore
shortcode handling in emojify()
- Formatter#plaintext should now make sure stripped out line-breaks
and paragraphs are replaced with newlines
* Fix emoji at the start not being converted
