- Currently, you can drag panels underneath the invisible "there are no items in this column" div and the "Create Panel / Add Existing Panel" buttons. This is silly; stop it.
- Currently, when viewing a tab panel on a dashboard, you can drag the panels inside it. This is extremely silly. Make "movable" off by default and pass it through the async flow only when we actually need it.
- Make the whole "Add Tab..." virtual tab clickable to open the dropdown. This removes the rare exception/todo combo I added earlier. {key F}
- Add or remove some icons or something.

- We now modify panels by "panelKey", not by panel PHID, so one dashboard may have multiple copies of the same panel and we can still figure out what's going on.
- We now work with "contextPHID", not "dashboardID", to make some flows with tab panels (or other nested panels in the future) easier.
The only major remaining flow is the Javascript "move panels around with drag-and-drop" flow.

Ref T13272. In edit mode, tab panels now have a dropdown menu. However, this sort of overrlaps with the actual action of clicking the tab to select it.
Separate these into different click targets so that "select tab X" and "open dropdown menu for X" are different operations.
This is more work than it appears because:
- We have an "action icon" already, used when you put a dashboard on a portal/home to create an "Edit" link. It makes sense to attach dropdowns to this, but it has some hard-coded stuff.
- In applications with a "Create <thing>" in the crumbs (like Maniphest), we may use a dropdown menu if there are multiple create forms available. However, this menu renders in a weird way by reading all the properties out of an actual "View" object and building something else.
- The "list of tabs" stuff shares code with different "list of tabs" navigation used by Diffusion and Instances.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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 PHI878. This is some leftover code from the old selection behavior that prevented visual selection of the left side of a diff if the user clicked on the right -- basically, a much simpler attack on what ultimately landed in D20191.
I think the change from `th` to `td` "broke" it so it didn't interfere with the other behavior, which is why I didn't have to remove it earlier. It's no longer necessary, in any case.
Test Plan: Grepped for behavior name, selected stuff on both sides of a diff.

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.
Test Plan:
- Generated and viewed a file like this one:
{F6220422}
- Copied text out of it, got authentic raw original source text instead of displayed text.

- Firefox selection of weird ranges with an inline between the start and end of the range now works correctly.
- "Show More Context" rows now render, highlight, and select properly.
- Prepares for nodes to have copy-text which is different from display-text.
- Don't do anything too fancy in 1-up/unified mode. We don't copy line numbers after the `content: attr(data-n)` change, but that's as far as we go, because trying to do more than that is kind of weird and not terribly intuitive.
Test Plan:
- Selected and copied weird ranges in Firefox.
- Kept an eye on "Show More Context" rows across select and copy operations.
- Generally poked around in Safari/Firefox/Chrome.

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".

Summary:
Ref T13161. Ref T12822. Today, we use invisible Zero-Width Spaces to try to improve copy/paste behavior from Differential.
After D20188, we no longer need ZWS characters to avoid copying line numbers. Get rid of these secret invisible semantic ZWS characters completely.
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.
Test Plan:
- Grepped for `zws`, `grep -i zero | grep -i width`.
- Copied text out of Differential: got both sides of the diff (not ideal).

Summary:
Ref T13161. Ref T12822. See PHI870. Long ago, the web was simple. You could leave your doors unlocked, you knew all your neighbors, crime hadn't been invented yet, and `<th>3</th>` was a perfectly fine way to render a line number cell containing the number "3".
But times have changed!
- In PHI870, this isn't good for screenreaders. We can't do much about this, so switch to `<td>`.
- 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 T13222. In D19918, I refactored how timelines get "view data". Today, this is always additional data about which images/changesets/diffs are visible on the current revision/commit/mock, so we can tell if inline comments should be linked to a `#anchor` on the same page (if the inline is rendered there somewhere) or to a `/D123?id=1&vs=2` full link on a different page (if it isn't), but in general this could be any sort of state information about the current page that affects how the timeline should render.
Previously, comment previews did not use any specialized object code and always rendered a "generic" timeline story. This was actually a bug, but none of the code we have today cares about this (since it's all inline related, and inlines render separately) so it never impacted anything.
After the `TimelineEngine` change, the preview renders with Differential-specific code. This is more correct, but we were not passing the preview the "view data" so it broke.
This preview doesn't actually need the view data and we could just make it bail out if it isn't present, but pass it through for consistency and so this works like we'd expect if we do something fancier with view data in the future.
Test Plan: Viewed comment and inline comment previews in Differential, saw old behavior restored.

Summary:
Depends on D19914. Ref T11351. Some of the Phoilo rabbit holes go very deep.
`PhabricatorApplicationTransactionInterface` currently requires you to implement `willRenderTimeline()`. Almost every object just implements this as `return $timeline`; only Pholio, Diffusion, and Differential specialize it. In all cases, they are specializing it mostly to render inline comments.
The actual implementations are a bit of a weird mess and the way the data is threaded through the call stack is weird and not very modern.
Try to clean this up:
- Stop requiring `willRenderTimeline()` to be implemented.
- Stop requiring `getApplicationTransactionViewObject()` to be implemented (only the three above, plus Legalpad, implement this, and Legalpad's implementation is a no-op). These two methods are inherently pretty coupled for almost any reasonable thing you might want to do with the timeline.
- Simplify the handling of "renderdata" and call it "View Data". This is additional information about the current view of the transaction timeline that is required to render it correctly. This is only used in Differential, to decide if we can link an inline comment to an anchor on the same page or should link it to another page. We could perhaps do this on the client instead, but having this data doesn't seem inherently bad to me.
- If objects want to customize timeline rendering, they now implement `PhabricatorTimelineInterface` and provide a `TimelineEngine` which gets a nice formal stack.
This leaves a lot of empty `willRenderTimeline()` implementations hanging around. I'll remove these in the next change, it's just going to be deleting a couple dozen copies of an identical empty method implementation.
Test Plan:
- Viewed audits, revisions, and mocks with inline comments.
- Used "Show Older" to page a revision back in history (this is relevant for "View Data").
- Grepped for symbols: willRenderTimeline, getApplicationTransactionViewObject, Legalpad classes.

Summary:
Ref T13222. Fixes T12588. See PHI683. In several cases, we present the user with a choice between multiple major options: Alamnac service types, Drydock blueprint types, Repository VCS types, Herald rule types, etc.
Today, we generally do this with radio buttons and a "Submit" button. This isn't terrible, but often it means users have to click twice (once on the radio; once on submit) when a single click would be sufficient. The radio click target can also be small.
In other cases, we have a container with a link and we'd like to link the entire container: notifications, the `/drydock/` console, etc. We'd like to just link the entire container, but this causes some problems:
- It's not legal to link block eleements like `<a><div> ... </div></a>` and some browsers actually get upset about it.
- We can `<a><span> ... </span></a>` instead, then turn the `<span>` into a block element with CSS -- and this sometimes works, but also has some drawbacks:
- It's not great to do that for screenreaders, since the readable text in the link isn't necessarily very meaningful.
- We can't have any other links inside the element (e.g., details or documentation).
- We can `<form><button> ... </button></form>` instead, but this has its own set of problems:
- You can't right-click to interact with a button in the same way you can with a link.
- Also not great for screenreaders.
Instead, try adding a `linked-container` behavior which just means "when users click this element, pretend they clicked the first link inside it".
This gives us natural HTML (real, legal HTML with actual `<a>` tags) and good screenreader behavior, but allows the effective link target to be visually larger than just the link.
If no issues crop up with this, I'd plan to eventually use this technique in more places (Repositories, Herald, Almanac, Drydock, Notifications menu, etc).

When you're acting on a draft revision, we change the button text to "Submit Quietly" as a hint that your actions don't generate notifications yet.
However, this isn't accurate when one of your actions is "Request Review", which causes the revision to publish.
Allow actions to override the submit button text, and make the "Request Review" action change the button text to "Publish Revision".
The alternative change I considered was to remove the word "Quietly" in all cases.
I'm not //thrilled// about how complex this change is to adjust one word, but the various pieces are all fairly clean individually. I'm not sure we'll ever be able to use it for anything else, but I do suspect that the word "Quietly" was the change in D19204 with the largest effect by far (see T10000).
Test Plan:
- Created a draft revision. Saw "Submit Quietly" text.
- Added a "Request Review" action, saw it change to "Publish Revision".
- Reloaded page, saw stack saved and "Publish Revision".
- Removed action, saw "Submit Quietly".
