While rest of the app has ported to the new system of updating
unread_counts `activity` was not ported. This resulted in
unread count in buddy list not being updated when new
PMs arrive.
Now when we want to measure how long a block
of code takes to execute, we just wrap it with
`blueslip.measure_time`, instead of the awkward
idiom from my original commit of getting a callback
function.
My rationale for the original scheme was that I
wanted to minimize diffs and avoid changing
`const` to `let` in a few cases, but I believe
now that the function wrapper is nicer.
In a few cases I just removed the blueslip timing
code, since I was able to confirm on czo that
the times were pretty minimal.
Using web_public_guest for anonymous users is confusing since
'guest' is actually a logged-in user compared to
web_public_guest which is not logged-in and has only
read access to messages. So, we rename it to
web_public_visitor.
Instead of prohibiting ‘return undefined’ (#8669), we require that a
function must return an explicit value always or never. This prevents
you from forgetting to return a value in some cases. It will also be
important for TypeScript, which distinguishes between undefined and
void.

ES and TypeScript modules are strict by default and don’t need this
directive. ESLint will remind us to add it to new CommonJS files and
remove it from ES and TypeScript modules.

We remove the "GROUP PMs" section that used
to be in the lower right sidebar.
Most of this is straightforward code removal.
A couple quick notes:
- The message fetching code now just
calls `huddle_data.process_loaded_messages`,
which we still need for search suggestions.
We removed `activity.process_loaded_messages`.
- The `huddle_data.process_loaded_messages`
function no longer needs to return `need_resize`.
- In `resize.js` we now just calculate
`res.buddy_list_wrapper_max_height` directly
from `usable_height`.
This makes it so that search_suggestion.js
does not depend on activity.js.
That dependency hasn't really been "elegant"
for quite some time, but it will become particularly
unnecessary when we go to remove the "Group PMs"
section from the right sidebar.
This commit introduces a temporary wart
where we have these two functions with the
same name in a sort of unnecessarily
complicated code stack:
activity.process_loaded_messages
huddle_data.process_loaded_messages
But we will eliminate the former function
very soon, and our message-related codepaths
will just call the `huddle_data` version
directly.
TESTING NOTES:
Now that `huddle_data` is a tiny leaf
module, it's super easy to just use the
real implementation of what was formerly
called `activity.get_huddles()` (and is
now in `huddle_data`).
When I first wrote this commit, introducing
the real implementation of `get_huddles` exposed
some bugs that I fixed in the immediately
prior commits to this.
When the tests were originally written,
I believe `activity.js` had some annoying
`jQuery` dependencies that made it hard
to unit test against. We've slimmed it over
time to be mostly just a "controller" module.
But even in its current state it would have
been a bit of a bloated dependency.
The other friction for using the actual
version of `get_huddles` was setting up
the message data, but that's pretty minor.
This exists in all versions of the desktop app that we still support,
and will eventually let us delete a bit of annoying compatibility code
from the desktop app’s injected JavaScript.

This generalizes existing code for the presence code path that is
generically useful for avoiding useless work that will be discarded.
We make an exception for the one type of request that needs to happen
while reloading, namely the one to clean up our event queue.
We used to have a block of code doing this just in the presence
endpoint because that's where we'd had error-handling problems with it
not being present, but it seems more correct for it to run
unconditionally on all HTTP requests.
This requires adding a dependency of channel on reload_state, which we
record in the webpack configuration for now.
The actual goal we have is that suspect_offline is correct so that we
can rely on that field when determining how to do error handling in
the presence system.
This avoids risk of logging blueslip errors for user IDs seen in the
presence response that we haven't heard about from the server_events
system because we're offline and in the process of reloading.
The issue only affected large realms; see
02bc630881 and `git log
-Ssuspect_offline` for details.
In the next commit we're going to change what the
server sends for the following:
- page_params
- server responses to /json/users/me/presence
We will **not** yet be changing the format of the data
that we get in events when users update their presence.
It's also just a bit in flux what our final formats
will be for various presence payloads, and different
optimizations may lead us to use different data
structures in different payloads.
So for now we decouple these two things:
raw_info: this is intended to represent a
snapshot of the latest data from the
server, including some data like
timestamps that are only used
in downstream calculations and not
user-facing
exports.presence_info: this is calculated
info for modules like buddy_data that
just need to know active vs. idle and
last_active_date
Another change that happens here is we rename
set_info_for_user to update_info_for_event,
which just makes it clear that the function
expects data in the "event" format (as opposed
to the format for page_params or server
responses).
As of now keeping the intermediate raw_info data
around feels slightly awkward, because we just
immediately calculate presence_info for any kind
of update. This may be sorta surprising if you
just skim the code and see the various timeout
constants. You would think we might be automatically
expiring "active" statuses in the client due to
the simple passage of time, but in fact the precise
places we do this are all triggered by new data
from the server and we re-calculate statuses
immediately.
(There are indirect ways that clients
have timing logic, since they ask the
server for new data at various intervals, but a
smarter client could simply expire users on its
own, or at least with a more efficient transfer
of info between it and the server. One of
the thing that complicates client-side logic
is that server and client clocks may be out
of sync. Also, it's not inherently super expensive
to get updates from the server.)
Babel strict generates more code for [...x] than you’d like, while
Babel loose mode assumes x is an array.
