This refactors Pundit policies to only rely on the current user, not on
the current user and the current HTTP request. In retrospect, it was a
bad idea to include the current request in the Pundit context. It bleeds
out everywhere and there are many contexts (in tests and models) where
we only have the current user, not the current request. The previous
commit got rid of the only two places where we used it.
Add a Restricted user level. Restricted users are level 10, below
Members. New users start out as Restricted if they sign up from a proxy
or an IP recently used by another user.
Restricted users can't update or edit any public content on the site
until they verify their email address, at which point they're promoted
to Member. Restricted users are only allowed to do personal actions
like keep favorites, keep favgroups and saved searches, mark dmails as
read or deleted, or mark forum posts as read.
The restricted state already existed before, the only change here is
that now it's an actual user level instead of a hidden state. Before it
was based on two hidden flags on the user, the `requires_verification`
flag (set when a user signs up from a proxy, etc), and the `is_verified`
flag (set after the user verifies their email). Making it a user level
means that now the Restricted status will be shown publicly.
Introducing a new level below Member means that we have to change every
`is_member?` check to `!is_anonymous` for every place where we used
`is_member?` to check that the current user is logged in.
Move html_data_attributes definitions from models to policies. Which
attributes are permitted as data-* attributes is a view level concern
and should be defined on the policy level, not the model level. Models
should be agnostic about how they're used in views.
Refactor models so that we define attribute API permissions in policy
files instead of directly in models.
This is cleaner because a) permissions are better handled by policies
and b) which attributes are visible to the API is an API-level concern
that models shouldn't have to care about.
This fixes an issue with not being able to precompile CSS/JS assets
unless the database was up and running. This was a problem when building
Docker images because we don't have a database at build time. We needed
the database because `api_attributes` was a class-level macro in some
places, which meant it ran at boot time, but this triggered a database
call because api_attributes used database introspection to get the list
of allowed API attributes.
Require users who signup using proxies to verify their email addresses
before they can perform any edits. For verification purposes, the email
must be a nondisposable address from a whitelist of trusted email
providers.
