This was added by commit 7f174213ed, and
appears to have been designed for responses that are *successful* but
falsy. Logically, these should not implicitly represent a failure to
be retried if it were.
Note from tabbott: The background is that this idempotent retry loop
was a hacky workaround for a bug we never understood but saw daily in
production. Especially during server restarts / client reloads,
something would result in 200 responses with no data being seen by the
frontend, despite the Django server not having received/processed the
request. Fortunately, this strange failure mode appears to have
stopped happening in late 2019, so we can delete this hack.

A `reload.initiate({immediate: true, ...})` *should* not return, as it
should trigger a `window.location.reload` and stop execution.
In the event that it continues execution and returns (for instance,
due to being in the background and reloads being suppressed for
power-saving -- see #6821), there is no need to fall through and
potentially schedule a 90-second-later retry.
f0c680e9c0 introduced a call to
message_helper.process_new_message without first calling
message_store.set_message_flags on the message.
This resulted in it being possible as a race, when loading the Zulip
app to a stream/topic/near narrow, for a message to have the
`historical` flag be undefined due to not being initialized.
That invalid state, in turn, resulted in the message_list_view code
path for rendering the message feed incorrectly displaying additional
recipient bars around the message.
We could fix this by just calling message_store.set_message_booleans
in this code path. However, this bug exposes the fact that it's very
fragile to expect every code path to call that function before
message_helper.process_new_message.
So we instead fix this by moving message_store.set_message_booleans
inside message_helper.process_new_message.
One call point of concern in this change is maybe_add_narrow_messages,
which could theoretically reintroduce the double set_message_flags
bugs detailed in 9729b1a4ad. However, I
believe that to not be possible, because that call should never
experience a cache miss.
The other existing code paths were already calling
set_message_booleans immediately before
message_helper.process_new_message. They are still changing here, in
that we now do a cache lookup before attempting to call
set_message_booleans. Because the message booleans do not affect the
cache lookup and the local message object is discarded in case of a
cache hit, this should have no functional impact.
Because I found the existing comment at that call site confusing and
almost proposed removing it as pointless, extend the block comment to
explicitly mention that the purpose is refreshing our object.
Fixes#21503.
Rename poll_timeout to event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds
and change its value from 90000 ms to 90 sec. Expose its
value in register api response when realm data is fetched.
Bump API_FEATURE_LEVEL to 74.
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.

Prettier would do this anyway, but it’s separated out for a more
reviewable diff. Generated by ESLint.

Since we are no longer using the "pointer" value sent in
page_params.pointer for anything, there's no value in continuing to
send it from the server to the client.
The remaining code in pointer.js is logic managing state for the
currently selected message.
This is not always a behavior-preserving translation: _.extend mutates
its first argument. However, the code does not always appear to have
been written to expect that.

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.
This should return us to a situation where we won't get blueslip
browser error reporting for users created while a device was offline
just before it reloads.
The _.each calls with an inline function expression have already been
converted to for…of loops. We could do that here, but using .forEach
when we’re just reusing an existing function seems like a good
guideline.

We now use user_ids for presence, so we don't need
to worry about races related to unknown emails
being sent to us. Now we just update the data
structure based on user_id, and
it will be there when we render the presence
widget for that user_id, or else it will
simply be ignored.
It's not clear to me whether we still need
dont_block here, so I didn't touch that code.
Here is the commit that added the suspect_offline
flag, for easy reference:
f207450cdb
This flag affects page_params and the
payload you get back from POSTs to this
url:
users/me/presence
The flag does not yet affect the
presence events that get sent to a
client.
