rCOMM5922947499f8: [lib] Remove `getCurrentUser`

Summary

We needed getCurrentUser in order to "patch" permissions based on block. However, we're now considering filtered permissions as part of useThreadsWithPermission so we can handle blocks as part of permission check vs. RawThreadInfo -> ThreadInfo. This greatly simplifies deprecation of memberHasAdminPowers on the client.

Depends on D12154

Test Plan

flow + ensuring that useExistingThreadInfoFinder, threadInfoFromRawThreadInfo, etc. continue to work as expected.

i'm probably not a good reviewer of this code

Great to see this!

I'd like to understand a bit more why this is safe to do at this time. I tried looking through your Linear task tree, but couldn't find where this is tracked.

Can you share where you're tracking all permissions checks on the client (ideally on Linear), so I can confirm that they're all updated to use hooks that check block status?

I'd like to understand a bit more why this is safe to do at this time.

We should be confident in this change after flow changes in D12246. Let me know if there's any questions or details I can clarify.

Going to go through and update Linear task tree right now.

Thanks @atul. I'm still a little confused, so three more follow-up questions:

Can you share where you're tracking all permissions checks on the client (ideally on Linear), so I can confirm that they're all updated to use hooks that check block status?
I found a client-related task on Linear that was listed as in-progress. I left a small question on Linear, can you respond there?
Regarding another client-related task on Linear that was listed as in-progress, I sent a message on Comm. Can you respond there?

Passing back to respond to the above

Can you share where you're tracking all permissions checks on the client (ideally on Linear), so I can confirm that they're all updated to use hooks that check block status?

Places that used threadHasPermission that needed to be updated to use useThreadHasPermission are listed here: https://linear.app/comm/issue/ENG-7254/use-hook-instead-of-mutating-permissions-in-getminimallyencodeduser

In addition, we know that all checks that check permissions affected by block are going through useThreadHasPermission because the threadHasPermission function has been updated to only accept ThreadPermissionNotAffectedByBlock:
