Summary:
See <https://discourse.phabricator-community.org/t/non-functional-actions-menu-on-live-phame-views/2593>. Several layers here:
The "Actions" button is broken because a menu behavior is failing, since we aren't rendering the menu.
When a behavior fails to initialize, catch and log the exception and continue. Previously, we stopped initializing behaviors if any failed, but behaviors are usually independent and continuing with an explicit exception seems reasonable.
Give "JX.log()" some "sprintf()" semantics to make logging the behavior failure easier. We can probably afford these extra 200 bytes now in 2019.
This fixes the button and gives us explicit errors in the log. So far, so good.
Then, when a page won't render chrome, don't try to render the main menu. This fixes the actual errors (we no longer try to initialize menu behaviors for nodes which don't exist).
Completely hide the "Actions" and "Comment" flows if the viewer isn't logged in. Although this isn't completely consistent with other applications, I think it's more appropriate for Phame. In applications like Maniphest, we show a full set of controls (but disable them) so that users who are not currently logged in have a clear path to interact with the content, under the assumption that this is a relatively common workflow. This is probably less common for Phame, where we expect most anonymous viewers not to log in or interact.
Finally, parametrize a one-off border color and add a border under the crumbs at the top of the page.

- Viewed a "Live" Phame blog post page, clicked "Actions", got a dropdown.

Summary:
See PHI1185, which reports a performance issue with "(" in remarkup in certain contexts.
I can't reproduce the performance issue, but I can reproduce the autosuggester incorrectly remaining active and swallowing return characters.
When the user types `(` or `[`, we wait for a prefix for the `((` (Phurl) or `[[` (Phriction) rules. We currently continue looking for that prefix until a character is entered that explicitly interrupts the search.
For example, typing `(xxx<return>` does not insert a return character, because we're stuck on matching the prefix.
Instead, as soon as the user has entered text that we know won't ever match the prefix, deactivate the autocomplete. We can slightly cheat through this by just looking for at least one character of text, since all prefixes are exactly one character long. If we eventually have some kind of `~~@(xyz)` rule we might need to add a more complicated piece of rejection logic.
Test Plan: Typed `(xxx<return>`, got a return. Used `((` and `[[` autosuggest rules normally. Used `JX.log()` to sanity check that nothing too crazy seems to be happening.

Fixes T13273. This element is a bit weird, but I think I fixed it without breaking anything.
The CSS is used by project hovercards and user hovercards, but they each have a class which builds mostly-shared-but-not-really-identical CSS, instead of having a single `View` class with modes. So I'm not 100% sure I didn't break something obscure, but I couldn't find anything this breaks.
The major issue is that all the text content has "position: absolute". Instead, make the image "absolute" and the text actual positioned content. Then fix all the margins/padding/spacing/layout and add overflow. Seems to work?

This would also probably just look and work better if it was an inline element that showed up under the header instead of a floating dropdown element.
However, I'm having a hard time getting the Safari debugger to actually connect to the iOS simulator, so take a small step toward this bright future and fix the immediate problem for now: toggle on click instead of mousedown/touchstart.
This means the menu opens ~100ms later, but actually works. Big improvement!
I'd like to move away from "jx-toggle-class" anyway (it usually isn't sophisticated enough to fully describe a behavior) so reducing complexity here seems good. It isn't used in //too// many places so this is unlikely to have any negative effects, I hope.

Summary:
Depends on D20320. Ref T12175. Ref T13074. Currently, when you move a card between columns, the internal transaction takes exactly one `afterPHID` or `beforePHID` and moves the card before or after the specified card.
This is a fairly strict interpretation and causes a number of practical issues, mostly because the user/client view of the board may be out of date and the card they're dragging before or after may no longer exist: another user might have moved or hidden it between the last client update and the current time.
In T13074, we also run into a more subtle issue where a card that incorrectly appears in multiple columns fatals when dropped before or after itself.
In all cases, a better behavior is just to complete the move and accept that the position may not end up exactly like the user specified. We could prompt the user instead:
> You tried to drop this card after card X, but that card has moved since you last loaded the board. Reload the board and try again.
...but this is pretty hostile and probably rarely/never what the user wants.
Instead, accept a list of before/after PHIDs and just try them until we find one that works, or accept a default position if none work. In essentially all cases, this means that the move "just works" like users expect it to instead of fataling in a confusing/disruptive/undesirable (but "technically correct") way.
(A followup will make the client JS send more beforePHIDs/afterPHIDs so this works more often.)
We could eventually add a "strict" mode in the API or something if there's some bot/API use case for precise behavior here, but I suspect none exist today or are (ever?) likely to exist in the future.
Test Plan:
- (T13074) Inserted two conflicting rows to put a card on two columns on the same board. Dropped one version of it underneath the other version. Before: confusing fatal. After: cards merge sensibly into one consistent card.
- (T12175) Opened two views of a board. Moved card A to a different column on the first view. On the second view, dropped card B under card A (still showing in the old column). Before: confusing fatal. After: card ended up in the right column in approximately the right place, very reasonably.

Pull the ordering logic out into a `ProjectColumnOrder` hierarchy instead, and let each ordering define the things it needs to work (name, icon, what headers look like, how different objects are sorted, and how to apply an edit when you drop an object under a header).
Then move the existing "Natural" and "Priority" orders into this new hierarchy.
This has a minor bug where using the "Edit" workflow to change a card's priority on a priority-ordered board doesn't fully refresh card/header order since the response isn't ordering-aware. I'll fix that in an upcoming change.

Depends on D20263. Ref T10333. I want to add groups like "Assignee" to workboards. This means you may have several tasks grouped under, say, "Alice".
When you drag the bottom-most task under "Alice" to the top, what does that mean?
Today, the only grouping is "Priority", and it means "change the task's secret/hidden global subpriority". However, this seems to generally be a somewhat-bad answer, and is quite complex. It also doesn't make much sense for an author grouping, since one task can't really be "more assigned" to Alice than another task.
Users likely intend this operation to mean "move it, visually, with no other effects" -- that is, user intent is to shuffle sticky notes around on a board, not edit anything substantive. The meaning is probably something like "this is similar to other nearby tasks" or "maybe this is a good place to start", which we can't really capture with any top-level attribute.
We could extend "subpriority" and give tasks a secret/hidden "sub-assignment strength" and so on, but this seems like a bad road to walk down. We'll also run into trouble later when subproject columns may appear on the board, and a user could want to put a task in different positions on different subprojects, conceivably.
In the "Natural" order view, we already have what is probably a generally better approach for this: a task display order particular to the column, that just remembers where you put the sticky notes.
Move away from "subpriority", and toward a world where we mostly keep sticky notes where you stuck them and move them around only when we have to. With no grouping, we still sort by "natural" order, as before. With priority grouping, we now sort by `<priority, natural>`. When you drag stuff around inside a priority group, we update the natural order.
This means that moving cards around on a "priority" board will also move them around on a "natural" board, at least somewhat. I think this is okay. If it's not intuitive, we could give every ordering its own separate "natural" view, so we remember where you stuck stuff on the "priority" board but that doesn't affect the "Natural" board. But I suspect we won't need to.

Summary:
Ref T13074. Today, in normal task list views in Maniphest (not workboards), you can (sometimes) reorder tasks if the view is priority-sorted.
I suspect no one ever does this, few users know it's supported, and that it was basically rendered obsolete the day we shipped workboards.
This also means that we need to maintain a global "subpriority" for tasks, which distinguishes between different tasks at the same priority level (e.g., "High") and maintains a consistent ordering on workboards.
As we move toward making workboards more flexible (e.g., group by author / owner / custom fields), I'd like to try moving away from "subpriority" and possibly removing it entirely, in favor of "natural order", which basically means "we kind of remember where you put the card and it works a bit like a sticky note".
Currently, the "natural order" and "subpriority" systems are sort of similar but also sort of in conflict, and the "subpriority" system can't really be extended while the "natural order / column position" system can.
The only real reason to have a global "subpriority" is to support the list-view drag-and-drop.
It's possible I'm wrong about this and a bunch of users love this feature, but we can re-evaluate if we get feedback in this vein.
(This just removes UI, the actual subpriority system is still intact and still used on workboards.)

Ref T10333. Ref T8135. Depends on D20247. Allow users to drag-and-drop cards on a priority-sorted workboard under headers, even if the header has no other cards.
As of D20247, headers show up but they aren't really interactive. Now, you can drag cards directly underneath a header (instead of only between other cards). For example, if a column has only one "Wishlist" task, you may drag it under the "High", "Normal", or "Low" priority headers to select a specific priority.
(Some of this code still feels a little rough, but I think it will generalize once other types of sorting are available.)
Test Plan: Dragged cards within and between priority groups, saw appropriate priority edits applied in every case I could come up with.

Summary:
Ref T10333. When workboards are ordered (for example, by priority), add headers to the various groups. Major goals are:
- Allow users to drag-and-drop to set values that no cards currently have: for example, you can change a card priority to "normal" by dragging it under the "normal" header, even if no other cards in the column are currently "Normal".
- Make future orderings more useful, particularly "order by assignee". We don't really have room to put the username on every card and it would create a fair amount of clutter, but we can put usernames in these headers and then reference them with just the profile picture. This also allows you to assign to users who are not currently assigned anything in a given column.
- Make the drag-and-drop behavior more obvious by showing what it will do more clearly (see T8135).
- Make things a little easier to scan in general: because space on cards is limited, some information isn't conveyed very clearly (for example, priority information is currently conveyed //only// through color, which can be hard to pick out visually and is probably not functional for users who need vision accommodations).
- Maybe do "swimlanes": this is pretty much a "swimlanes" UI if we add whitespace at the bottom of each group so that the headers line up across all the columns (e.g., "Normal" is at the same y-axis position in every column as you scroll down the page). Not sold on this being useful, but it's just a UI adjustment if we do want to try it.
NOTE: This only makes these headers work for display.
They aren't yet recognized as targets by the drag list UI, so you can't drag cards into an empty group. I'll tackle that in a followup.

Ref T10334. Partly, this just improves visual feedback for all drag operations. After D20242, we can have cases where you (for example) drag a low-priority node to a very tall column on a priority-ordered workboard. In this case, the actual dashed-border-drop-target may not be on screen.
We might make the column scroll or put some kind of hint in the UI in this case, but an easy starting point is just to make the "yes, you're targeting this column" state a bit more clear.

Summary:
Ref T10334. When a workboard is ordered by priority, dragging from column "A" to a particular place in column "B" currently means "move this task to column B, and adjust its priority so that it naturally sorts into the location under my mouse cursor".
Users frequently find this confusing / undesirable.
To begin improving this, make "drag from column A to column B" and "drag from somewhere in column A to somewhere else in column A" into different operations. The first operation, a movement between columns, no longer implies an ordering change. The second action still does.
So if you actually want to change the priority of a task, you drag it within its current column. If you just want to move it to a different column, you drag it between columns.
This creates some possible problems:
- Some users may love the current behavior and just not be very vocal about it. I doubt it, but presumably we'll hear from them if we break it.
- If you actualy want to move + reorder, it's a bit more cumbersome now. We could possibly add something like "shift + drag" for this if there's feedback.
- The new behavior is probably less surprising, but may not be much more obvious. Future changes (for example, in T10335) should help make it more clear.
- When you mouse cursor goes over column B, the card dashed-rectangle preview target thing jumps to the correct position in the column -- but that may not be under your mouse cursor. This feels pretty much fine if the whole column fits on screen. It may not be so great if the column does not fit on screen and the dashed-rectangle-thing has vanished. This is just a UI feedback issue and we could refine this later (scroll/highlight the column).
Test Plan:
- Created several tasks at different priority levels, sorted a board by priority, dragged tasks between columns. Dragging from "A" to "B" no longer causes a priority edit.
- Also, dragged within a column. This still performs priority edits.

Summary:
Ref T12822. Ref T2495. This is the good version of D20193.
Currently, we display various nonprintable characters (ZWS, nonbreaking space, various control characters) as themselves, so they're generally invisible.
In T12822, one user reports that all their engineers frequently type ZWS characters into source somehow? I don't really believe this (??), and this should be fixed in lint.
That said, the only real reason not to show these weird characters in a special way was that it would break copy/paste: if we render ZWS as "🐑", and a user copy-pastes the line including the ZWS, they'll get a sheep.
At least, they would have, until D20191. Now that this whole thing is end-to-end Javascript magic, we can copy whatever we want.
In particular, we can render any character `X` as `<span data-copy-text="Y">X</span>`, and then copy "Y" instead of "X" when the user copies the node. Limitations:
- If users select only "X", they'll get "X" on their clipboard. This seems fine. If you're selecting our ZWS marker *only*, you probably want to copy it?
- If "X" is more than one character long, users will get the full "Y" if they select any part of "X". At least here, this only matters when "X" is several spaces and "Y" is a tab. This also seems fine.
- We have to be kind of careful because this approach involves editing an HTML blob directly. However, we already do that elsewhere and this isn't really too hard to get right.
With those tools in hand:
- Replace "\t" (raw text / what gets copied) with the number of spaces to the next tab stop for display.
- Replace ZWS and NBSP (raw text) with a special marker for display.
- Replace control characters 0x00-0x19 and 0x7F, except for "\t", "\r", and "\n", with the special unicode "control character pictures" reserved for this purpose.

- Generated and viewed a file like this one:

Summary:
Ref T12822. Ref T13161. By default, when users select text from a diff and copy it to the clipboard, they get both sides of the diff and all the line numbers. This is usually not what they intended to copy.
As of D20188, we use `content: attr(...)` to render line numbers. No browser copies this text, so that fixes line numbers.
We can use "user-select" CSS to visually prevent selection of line numbers and other stuff we don't want to copy. In Firefox and Chrome, "user-select" also applies to copied text, so getting "user-select" on the right nodes is largely good enough to do what we want.
In Safari, "user-select" is only visual, so we always need to crawl the DOM to figure out what text to pull out of it anyway.
In all browsers, we likely want to crawl the DOM anyway because this will let us show one piece of text and copy a different piece of text. We probably want to do this in the future to preserve "\t" tabs, and possibly to let us render certain character codes in one way but copy their original values. For example, we could render "\x07" as "␇".
Finally, we have to figure out which side of the diff we're copying from. The rule here is:
- If you start the selection by clicking somewhere on the left or right side of the diff, that's what you're copying.
- Otherwise, use normal document copy rules.
So the overall flow here is:
- Listen for clicks.
- When the user clicks the left or right side of the diff, store what they clicked.
- When a selection starts, and something is actually selected, check if it was initiated by clicking a diff. If it was, apply a visual effect to get "user-select" where it needs to go and show the user what we think they're doing and what we're going to copy.
- (Then, try to handle a bunch of degenerate cases where you start a selection and then click inside that selection.)
- When a user clicks elsewhere or ends the selection with nothing selected, clear the selection mode.
- When a user copies text, if we have an active selection mode, pull all the selected nodes out of the DOM and filter out the ones we don't want to copy, then stitch the text back together. Although I believe this didn't work well in ~2010, it appears to work well today.
Test Plan: This mostly seems to work in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. T12822 has some errata. I haven't tested touch events but am satisfied if the touch event story is anything better than "permanently destroys data".

This means that both the left-hand and right-hand side of diffs become copyable, which isn't desired. I'll fix that with a hundred thousand lines of Javascript in the next change: this is a step toward everything working better, but doesn't fix everything yet.

- In D19349 / T13105 and elsewhere, this `::after { content: attr(data-n); }` approach seems like the least bad general-purpose approach for preventing line numbers from being copied. Although Differential needs even more magic beyond this in the two-up view, this is likely good enough for the one-up view, and is consistent with other views (paste, harbormaster logs, general source display) where this technique is sufficient on its own.
The chance this breaks //something// is pretty much 100%, but we've got a week to figure out what it breaks. I couldn't find any issues immediately.

Summary:
Ref T13161. See PHI723. Our whitespace handling is based on whitespace flags like `diff -bw`, mostly just for historical reasons: long ago, the easiest way to minimize the visual impact of indentation changes was to literally use `diff -bw`.
However, this approach is very coarse and has a lot of problems, like detecting `"ab" -> "a b"` as "only a whitespace change" even though this is always semantic. It also causes problems in YAML, Python, etc. Over time, we've added a lot of stuff to mitigate the downsides to this approach.
We also no longer get any benefits from this approach being simple: we need faithful diffs as the authoritative source, and have to completely rebuild the diff to `diff -bw` it. In the UI, we have a "whitespace mode" flag. We have the "whitespace matters" configuration.
I think ReviewBoard generally has a better approach to indent depth changes than we do (see T13161) where it detects them and renders them in a minimal way with low visual impact. This is ultimately what we want: reduce visual clutter for depth-only changes, but preserve whitespace changes in strings, etc.
Move toward detecting and rendering indent depth changes. Followup work:
- These should get colorblind colors and the design can probably use a little more tweaking.
- The OneUp mode is okay, but could be improved.
- Whitespace mode can now be removed completely.
- I'm trying to handle tabs correctly, but since we currently mangle them into spaces today, it's hard to be sure I actually got it right.
