With comments, publishing articles, and reactions we had symmetry on two
goals:
- Create a _subject_ (e.g. Comment, Published Article, Reaction)
- Create four _subjects_ within a week.
For page views we only had "Create four _subjects_ within a week." This
PR addes the "Create a _subject_".
To do this required adjusting some tests as they were too specific in
nature (looking at an expected count).
In addition, in consultation with Jennie, I've updated the experiment
order to better reflect some hierarchical importance.
**Rollback considerations:**
This also includes a feature flag that we can explicitly disable if we
overload the application with workers handling reaction goals. Using
`FeatureFlag.accessible?(:field_test_event_single_create_pageview)`
returns `true` unless we explicitly disable this flag.

This commit adds three new feed experiment goals:
* user publishes four posts within a week
* user reacts with a "heart", "unicorn", or "reading list" to an article
* user reacts with a "heart", "unicorn", or "reading list" to an article
four times in a week
In addition it adds it to the existing experiment. Adding it to the
existing experiment is acceptable because:
1. We can ignore the results
2. The experiments are structured such that these new goals could be met
with prior data.
3. Both variants are playing by the same rules, so the results relative
to each other are valid.
**There is a nuanced assumption in how we handle reactions:**
This implementation does not count by unique article reactions. However,
most folks will ❤️ , 🦄 , and 🔖 in one swoop; thus
those 3 reactions are all grouped into happening on one day.
Further, it's a reflection of the person taking an action after reading
a post, not how much action on that particular post.
**Rollback considerations:**
This also includes a feature flag that we can explicitly disable if we
overload the application with workers handling reaction goals. Using
`FeatureFlag.accessible?(:field_test_event_for_reactions)` returns
`true` unless we explicitly disable this flag.

* Adding new relevancy lever for privileged reactions
This PR includes four changes:
1. Renaming the variant to remove Jennie's name
2. Starting a new experiment
3. Adding a new relevancy lever
4. Adding a new variant that uses the relevancy lever
1 and 2 is somewhat straight-forward.
For 3, we're looking at having a total of 5 "slots" for privileged user
reactions. Hence the four boundary values.
For 4, we're configuring the granular levers with the following:
- `[-∞..-5)` should have a 0.05
- `[-5..0)` should have a 0.5
- `[0..5)` should have a 0.9
- `[5..10)` should have a 0.98
- `[10..∞)` should have a 1.0
The 20220509-variant.json is a copy of 20220422-variant.json but
replaces the `privileged_user_reaction` lever with the
`privileged_user_reaction_granular` lever.
Below is the diff to highlight the similarities and differences between
the two variants.

* Adding a field test option for post publishing goals
We have page view and comment view "goals" but have not looked at
publication "goals". We're using these "goals" to help us refine the
feed towards sustainable engagement and community health.
The conjecture on publication goals is that the content on the feed
itself can nudge folks in their decision to publish posts.
Closesforem/forem#17585
* Fixing broken test
Prior to this commit, the SQL fragments included variables that were set
configured at a global level.
With this commit, we're now saying that each lever "knows" what variable
it needs; and providing the means at lever declaration time to "say"
what those variable names are. (e.g. `Articles::Feeds::LEVER_CATALOG`).
Then as part of the variant configuration (in the
`./config/feed-variants/*.json` files) we now include the expected value
of those parameters; which by convention (and coercion) are integers.
This relates to forem/forem#17584 because we want to move from a
privileged user reaction that has two values (`negative` and `positive`)
into four values (`very_negative`, `negative`, `positive`, and
`very_positive`). To do that, we'll create a new lever; but that's for
another pull request.

* Moving Experiments into AbExperiment namespace
This commit entails two major concepts:
1. Extracting logic out of a worker.
2. Cleaning the conditions in which we convert experiments.
In addition, I revisited some spec names to tidy them up for
clarification and structure.
**Extracting Logic...**
For workers, my preference is that they be a simple router to another
object. A non-worker object, with it's initialize method, can both
better manage instance variables. Further, workers are somewhat "flat"
in hierarchy,
In this case, having the AbExperiment be knowledgeable both in setting
the experiment and handling conversions makes (to me) organizational
sense. For example, the AbExperiment is constructed as a wrapper to the
FieldTest gem. But the RecordFieldTestEventWorker had knowledge of
FieldTest.
With this refactor, it does not have that knowledge. This also provided
an opportunity to replace magic strings with constants.
**Cleaning the conditions...**
This relates directly to and closesforem/forem#17530. I was looking at
the experiments after 2 days, and realized that there shouldn't be
results for
`user_views_pages_on_at_least_nine_different_days_within_two_weeks`;
after all the experiment started 2 days ago, how can we have results
that look at 2 weeks.
By adding the "max" function calls, we ensure a clear boundary of
"before the experiment began" versus "while the experiment is running".

* Remove sustaining member newsletter, and its settings
This removes the concept of sustaining memberships from the system,
and logic related to or dependent on it.
This does not remove the monthly_dues column from the users table (todo).
* Remove unused newsletter setting
Since nothing accesses the mailchimp_sustaining_members_id setting,
it's safe to remove.
* Use destroy rather than delete to ensure settings cache is cleared
We have a callback in Settings::Base to clear the cache after commit,
I assume it's useful to trigger that. This requires destroy, not
delete, to be called.
When we merge this, Forem admins will see the "Admin > Content Manager >
Spaces" section in their Admin area. This will then allow them to
toggle on and off spaces.

* Allowing VariantQuery for Feed Generation
Apologies for the breadth of this pull request, I had considered many
small commits, but felt that would've been more effort for the value
provided.
This commit includes the following:
- Documentation updates to the feed variant (though not the final pass)
- Renaming and adding RelevancyLevers that help differentiate
- Adding RelevancyLever#range to provide documentation
- Reducing redundent controller logic by making a
`Articles::Feeds.feed_for` method.
- Adding some configuration validation for RelevancyLevers
- Adding constants for better clarification
- Testing unhappy paths for feed configuration
- Adjusting the module namespace of some objects
- Exposing top-level configurations for variants (along with their
defaults)
- Creating the VariantyQuery that at present inherits from the
`Articles::Feeds::WeightedQueryStrategy`
As implemented, we can deploy this code to production without using the
new VariantQuery. Once we toggle on the
`:feed_uses_variant_query_feature` FeatureFlag, it will switch to using
the VariantQuery. The VariantQuery's two variants and the
internal configuration of `Articles::Feeds::WeightedQueryStrategy`
produce the same query.
The goal of this factor is to allow for a quick on and off toggle of the
feed query; to ensure that what we introduce remains performant.

* Enable string uuid as namespace
This addresses a noisy deprecation warning showing in specs (it points
to our re-implementation of warden's sign_in_as helper, but I suspect
the issue is within warden since our initializer seems to match the
implementation in the upstream gem).
My understanding of this is that the prior default had been to pass
the provided uuid namespace as-is if it didn't match one of a few
named constants. New behavior is to validate that any string provided
as a namespace looks like a uuid representation or fail).
* Move configuration change to framework defaults
**tl;dr** This PR is looking to provide a means to programmatically
assemble, from system configurations, what is currently the
[Articles::Feeds::WeightedQueryStrategy::SCORING_METHOD_CONFIGURATIONS][1].
Once we merge this PR, instead of having that constant, we'll initialize
the Articles::Feeds::WeightedQueryStrategy with the variant
configuration that we've assembled.
**Introduction**
This pull request has quite a bit going on, but as of now the production
code does not use any of it.
*Note: None of this code is bleeding into production code paths.*
Put your Ruby hat on and let's go for a ride. And apologizes for not
making this a smaller pull request. As I built this, I made many small
commits, but this became the smallest commit that provided the most
context without integrating into production code.
Before we get started, you may want to familiarize yourself with where
we're going. The `./app/models/articles/feeds/README.md` provides
further guidance; but fair warning reader, I have not reconciled the
README's language with what emerged as I wrote this pull request.
Those of you who are part of Forem Core team, you can read the
[Refinements to Our Present Feed Configuration][2]
to provide some insight into what's happening.
**Why not reconcile?** *Because I want to have all of the language and
thoughts available for you to help consider how best to name and model
this.*
**On to the Review**
The purpose of this pull request is to provide a mechanism for
engineering to provide a series of variant query levers. And to allow
us to easily configure those available query levers into a variant
query.
*Why the mix of Ruby configuration and JSON?*
The Ruby levers are meant to indicate that this is code we don't want to
expose in text based configuration because it might create SQL inject
points. (More on that when we integrate the code of this PR into the
production implementation)
The JSON levers are meant to indicate that "anyone" can pick the
appropriate/available levers and configure how they are set. In other
words, these values do not create SQL injection issues.
**What I Need from You**
I am putting this forward as a draft so you can read this code ahead of
time. I'm then going to schedule a synchronous code review where we
record our collective walk through of the implementation.

This commit modifies two things:
1. The sort order of the feed.
2. Locking in the next incumbent for the feed.
In consultation with Jamie regarding the SQL, I've switched from a WHERE
IN type clause to creating a JOIN. This allows for the calculated
relevancy score to become a sortable value for the feed.
Second the incumbent feed is a slight modification of the past winner;
based on the results of a long running experiment. This adjustment is
per conversations with product.
The past experiment ran since early February, so it's time to retire it,
regroup and move forward.

As a note, I'm looking at this document almost through the lens of
[literate programming][1]. In writing the document, I learned about and
attempted to describe the shape of this internal facing project.
Consider for a moment that we are not adding a new user facing feature
to the Forem code base. Instead we're scoping this project as helping
ease the experimentation process regarding the feed.
In other words the scope of this project is to help name and refine
different feed strategies to understand what each strategy means.
Eventually this could mean that creators and members can have a
future opportunity to select feed strategies that reflect the
aspirational community values of the feed (e.g. we want a feed that
favors comments, or neighborhoods, or the occassional serendipity).

* Adding conditional create post rendering
This pull request does two things:
- Reverts the forem/forem#16606
- Replaces the conditional rendering with the approach from forem/forem#17076
What to consider:
- How does this impact Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). Prior to this
commit, we didn't "flicker" the "Create Post" button into view if the
site didn't have the conditional.
- In reverting forem/forem#16606 we remove a dependency on Turbo.
- We reduce one network call, relying instead on the async_info to carry
the visible/hidden logic.
If the "flicker" is a problem we could add a conditional in the page for
if the site has enabled that feature. However, that's a place holder as
we're looking at possible other reasons for allowing/disabling the
create a post.
This is a non-blocking PR, as in we can merge or not merge this and
proceed with what we have. Instead the main goal is to "unify" our approach.

Introduced in forem/forem#3176, it appears that this method has been
along for the ride.
How did I find this? I saw an exception and realized that we cast our
comment IDs from base-26 integer format to base-10. I decided to look
through our code for `/\.to_\w\(26\)/` and stumbled upon the now removed
instance.
Quickly looking at the code, it appeared that this method was never
called.
So ✂✂✂
* Ensuring confirmation and flash message for spaces
This change delivers an accessible form, and while it doesn't remove the
Save button nor produce a modal it does deliver the minimum viable
functionality.
In conversations with Suzanne, we spent an hour looking at how we might
make an accessible modal with the checkbox and state management
required as we as removing save buttons.
There are two paths:
1. Extend the current, yet deprecated, stimulus modal controller.
2. Extend the Preact modal work done for the Members Detail View.
We spent about 15 minutes pursuing the stimulus modal controller route,
and realized how much cruft it added to the system. Not ideal and very
opaque in it's interaction.
The second one we talked about, but for our alloted time was inadequate
to begin further work. To deliver on that generalized preact modal will
require at least an afternoon of work.
